Our vision is to inspire the sub-cultures of the global car community, to become cultural icons.
Our mission is to search the world for inspiring stories from automotive creators and fusing the lifestyle culture.
We believe that by uniting all the automotive cultures from around the world, we can start a positive movement that embraces creativity, passion and difference, which can be adapted to every area of life. - Tony & Carmen Matthews (co-founders)
Our Journey started back in 2006, where we travelled the world in search for the best custom cars to be featured in numerous car magazine. After the decline of printed magazine, we had the idea to create our own digital magazine. We started with Facebook as a platform to curate some of the world’s most incredible builds and then we unleashed our very own digital magazine called SuperFly.
The aim was to create more indepth stories of the cars we photograph around the world and create a monthly digital magazine. It would embrace not only the car and the owners story, but we would bring forth the lifestyles within the culture and feature inspiring car builders/owners from the likes of Jay Leno, Breal of Cypress Hill, Ralph at RMD Garage, to the guy or gal in their garage building a SuperFly project.

I worked with my father at Barris Kustom back in the `70s and I remember that "Sidewinder" three wheeler very well. I was only 14 years old when I started working there with my father and spent quite a bit of time pushing those show cars around the shop. Those rear wheels and tires on that Sidewinder are huge! I vaguely remember the Alvin Acorn car but I don't recall it being at his shop when we worked there. It was probably owned by someone else by then but George had photos of all his show cars on the walls of his office and showroom. And he had the 1/24 little plastic custom car models of a lot of them too. I heard someone busted in and all of stole those years ago.
I tell you this... it was hard work building those cars. That shop in North Hollywood would be 100º+ in the Summer. I'd be filthy dirty at the end of the most days, and worn out.
You need to visit the man who started Superfly cars! Les Dunham, the king of Pimp. Message me if you'd like to put you in contact with him.
