18 Museum Sign When your older brother, the epitome of cool, brings home a classic car, the die is cast. To be that cool, you must follow his lead. For Steve Briscoe, this meant driving a succession of cool cars including a ’65 Corvette and a ’70 Datsun 240Z. Yet those rides lacked a certain exclusivity. And so he set out to remedy that. Inspired by a Banshee body by Fiberfab, Steve learned to do fiberglass, a little metal fabrication, and even some upholstery to create his personal masterpiece. According to Steve, he was a “boy with a dream, the ignorance to follow it, and a wife who tolerated it.” Steve pondered the question, “How hard can it be to build a car?” The answer – very hard, but worth the effort. Steve’s creation is a blend of Aston Martin, Maserati, Corvette, Ferrari, and Porsche 904, and truly a oneof-a-kind work of art. Now who owns the coolest car? Steve's brother can only dream.
