HOME SICK

Bryan Garst’s Garage-Built ’56 Chevy Pickup

- JOHN MATA JR.

THE LICENSE PLATE THAT ADORNS THIS ABSOLUTELY KILLER ’56 CHEVY PICKUP IS SORT OF AN INSIDE JOKE TO ITS OWNER. While the House of Kolor Kandy Green paint is what grabs the attention of most onlookers, it has also been the main topic of this truck’s small number of critics. Yep, you read that correctly—people do actually take the effort to complain about the paint color, which is just downright hard to imagine. “Bright and flashy” might not be everybody’s cup of tea or coffee or whatever, but if it’s tastefully done, as in the case of this particular truck, a standout hue selection can result in a clean, classy and unique finish.

“Through the years, lots of people have said that the color has made them sick,” says truck owner Bryan Garst. “I hear it all the time and get asked why I didn’t just paint the truck black or red. Some people have no vision.”

While the “SIKNING” plate was meant to be a jab in the chops to all the naysayers, Bryan confirmed the vanity plate order mostly came to be because it was surprisingly available through the DMV. Some things just have a weird way of working out.
