At 10/10ths

The Frazer-Nash was a limited production sports car that stubbornly held on to chain drive to the rear axle well into the 1930's. Since there was no differential, the smoothest way around a corner was a controlled slide. This Nash is cornering at the very limit at 10/10ths. This is a photo of the original artwork. The full size of the original, 24" x 30", was too large for me to scan.

Just Plane Bored

The GeeBee Racing Plane was built primarily for the Thompson Air Races in 1931. the Ruxton was a rival of the Cord featuring front wheel drive. While the pilot has an animated discussion with the mechanic, his female companion has had enough, and is just "plane" bored. This is a photo of the original art. This piece, 20 1/2" x 16 1/2", was done with colored ink, my medium of choice.

Just Imagine

Mallard, the great locomotive of the London and Northeastern Railway set the all time fastest speed for a steam locomotive on July 3, 1938. The Talbot T150 SS was one of the fastest cars in Europe in the late 1930's. The two vehicles were never in close proximity, but just imagine a long stretch of straight railway tracks running parallel to the highway. The young lady in the Talbot challenges Mallard as they race flat out in our imagination. This is a photo of the original artwork. The original painting is 30" x 19 1/2".

George & Lil

George Weaver and his 1930's Maserati Grand Prix Car, Poison Lil. Weaver was part of a small group in the northeast that organized road races in the late 1930's. After World War II, he was one of the early members of the Sports Car Club of America. He and "Lil" took part in the early post war road races. This is a (crooked) photo of the original piece, which is 24" x 15 1/2".

MG October

The TC MG was the first post war offering from the factory in Abingdon. The TC was primarily the TB pre war model with minor changes. All TC's were right hand drive with no U.S. export model being offered. My first car was a used 1948 TC bought in 1951. This is a photo of the original piece, which is 18 1/2" x 14".
