George Barris had a short street named after him in a ceremony on Friday. Sadly I only found out about it after-the-fact so I missed it. "George Barris Place" is a half-block strtehc of road near Barris' shop.
From the Saturday L.A Times, which covered the event:
"Barris (said) that the hardest cars to customize were K.I.T.T. from the Knight Rider television series and The Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee. They were used in rigorous stunts, and Barris provided his own drivers to baby them."
