It's hard enough to emmulate them, just imagine BEING them and INVENTING this sort of stuff!! Have you ever heard of Dick Dean? He was in Detroit for a while in the mid '50s but went to California later to work with Barris I believe. He striped my father's first car back then, and that's what influence him to start pinstriping. My father's been striping since '56, and he's still at it.
