Old art finally up in the garage

dvw · Apr 14, 2020

A few of you may know my Dad was a auto stylist at Chysler. I belive this picture was done in the late 50s when he was at Art Center Colledge of Design in California. He always hated it. It hung in me and my brothers room growing up. With this time off my garage is getting things done I put off for years.

What is it of ?,
I can't make it out very good

Some Bonneville racecar rig. Futuristic from probably 1953.

What a treasure to have, even if there was no connection to your Dad. :thumbsup:

I like how he has the Forward Look “wing ding” incorporated on the vehicle. That dates it for sure. And the Space Race and Jet era that was a reality with the designs during that period really stands out in the drawing. Doesn't get any better than that!

That’s cool

Looking at the picture closer it looks like the rear wheels are hub less?

They have been the craze lately with the motorcycle customs and here it was thought of 60 plus years ago. Maybe by your Dad or his coworkers?
