Some might call it entry-level customizing. Around the turn of the 20th century there was a regional trend peculiar to Orange County, California, called “OC Style,” and all it took to participate was to find a fullsize car from the mid ’70s and slam it into the weeds. For around $500, a mid-’70s barge could be found for sale in the Recycler, and for around $2,000 more you could lay it out on air ride suspension.
