MEET THE KOALITION
SQUEEG'S KUSTOMS
Since its founding in 1964, Squeeg’s Kustoms has been a trailblazer in the world of custom cars and hot rods. Renowned for its one-of-a-kind paintwork and timeless designs, the shop has never strayed into mass production, maintaining a unique identity in the industry for over 50 years.
FROM THE LITTLE RED WAGON TO LEGENDS
THE TIMELESS LEGACY OF SQUEEG'S KUSTOMS
Squeeg Jerger, whose real name remains a mystery to all but the taxman, began his journey in the late 1950s in Mansfield, Ohio. As a teen, Squeeg's passion for cars flourished, and by 1962, his first major project, the candy-red ’32 coupe called the Little Red Wagon, was featured in Hot Rod magazine. The attention it garnered set Squeeg on the path to opening his first shop in Ohio in 1964. Throughout the 1960s, Squeeg’s exceptional custom paint and participation in drag racing cemented his reputation as a visionary in the automotive world.
PASSING THE TORCH
DOUG JERGER CONTINUES SQUEEG’S KUSTOMS LEGACY OF CUSTOM CRAFTSMANSHIP
A move to Mesa, Arizona in 1974 marked the next chapter for Squeeg’s Kustoms. The Hot Rod Connection opened its doors, offering a full-service hot rod fabrication and parts retail shop. However, by 1987, Squeeg returned to his passion for custom paintwork, the craft that defined his legacy.
Before "semi-retiring" in the mid-1980s, Squeeg passed the torch to his son, Doug Jerger, ensuring that the craftsmanship and soul of Squeeg’s Kustoms would continue for generations. Doug, who took over the shop and moved it to Chandler, Arizona in 2010, carries forward the tradition of custom creations, now blending the latest technology with old-world craftsmanship.
