Built for Gene Boucher, Cushenberry started with a '56 Ford hardtop.[1] It was sectioned 6 in (150 mm), and had almost every body panel reworked, with the hood given an asymmetrical peak; '59 Buick rear quarter panels were also added.[2]

Candy gold paint was done by Don Mathews and Naugahyde interior by Bill Manger.[3]

Begun in 1963, it took two and a half years to complete.[4]
