Monkey Island Association Announces
 2008 Season
Darryl
Starbird's National Rod & Custom Car Hall of Fame Museum
The Hall of Fame Museum opened it doors for the 14th
Season on March 5th. The feature car this year will be the
"Voodoo Spider" built by Elden Titus. It is a completely hand
built all metal car. This car was built from a model that Elden designed
and built when he was a teenager with the long time desire to build the
real thing, his dream finally realized. Along with the "Voodoo
Spider" Darryl will be debuting his latest creation the "Duzeybird"
inspired by the Duzenberg of the early 30s.
This year our Induction Ceremony was held in conjunction
with the 44th Annual Darryl Starbird's Exotic Car show in
Tulsa, OK. Steve Frisbie of Portland, Oregon and Barry White of Orange,
California were the recipients of this years honors. Steve Stanford was
inducted into the Designers Hall of Fame and "Speedy" Bill
Smith received the Lifetime Achievement award. Mark Moriarity who has
displayed many of his award winning vehicles in the museum was made
Builder/Owner of the year.
