The Artie\u2019s Party Cruiser<\/a>, initially intended to be auctioned off at a special sale at the 2018 PPG Syracuse Nationals<\/a>, will get to go on a longer road trip. The Saratoga Springs Auto Museum,<\/a> in partnership with the Saratoga Auto Auction, stepped up to put the car on the block at their annual event September 21-22, 2018.<\/p>\n

The 1964 Pontiac Safari Wagon was donated to Artie\u2019s Party<\/a> for striping and customization by George and Mary Munsterman from First Class Productions. First Class was unfortunately not able to hold the Syracuse auction as planned, but the gorgeous cruiser is still all ready to roll and raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Central New York. Before going up for sale, the Cruiser will appear at a number of shows, including the Syracuse Nationals, Dead Man\u2019s Curve, the Adirondacks Nationals and the Lake George Concours D\u2019Elegance. It’s a truly remarkable kustom creation, so it’s well worth seeing for any auto enthusiast. That first is perhaps the best event at which to see the Cruiser; “Big Al” Liebmann will be in attendance with the Frantic Ford, and it’s also the site of this year’s Artie’s Party Charity Panel Jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t have done this without Joe Quitoni and the crew of Joe Que\u2019s Auto Body,\u201d says Art Schilling, founder of Artie\u2019s Party. \u201cAnd we owe a debt of gratitude to George and Mary Munsterman for the vehicle, as well as our amazing sponsors<\/a>, for everything they\u2019ve donated to make this the koolest kustom.\u201d<\/p>\n

The customization goes deep; it includes new chassis components and a disc brake conversion from Ames Performance, new springs from Detroit Spring, a motor built by Jasper Engines and a transmission from Joe Pirrone. Gillian\u2019s Upholstery is handling the refurbishing of the interior, turning this Pontiac into a surfing Safari by upholstering the seats and interior with the Pendleton plaid wool fabric made famous by the Beach Boys.<\/p>\n
