Art & Inspiration The Friday Art Show

Happy Friday art show, and to all , have a great labor day weekend.

 

The First "Magic Muffler" Topolino

Hello,

It is not the famous blown crank photo of the Magic Muffler Fiat Coupe. It is the Dark Purple Altered of the earliest Magic Muffler Fiat Coupe prior to the change over to the minimal Fiat Light Purple Coupe.

The bright Purple Fiat was the first Fiat Altered in Jim Miles’ build list.

“In 1961, the combination of business art and freedom of expression coalesced into one metallic organism in the form of a particular racecar, a ‘48 Fiat Topolino bored-and-stroked 331 Chrysler Hemi, powered by copious globs of nitromethane. This was the “Magic Muffler” AA/Fuel Altered, a rolling, playful purple pipebomb. It was like an Andy Warhol portrait of a soup can morphed into an atomic missile.”

But we are all awed and amazed at the history of the cadre of Fiat Coupes leading up to the light purple Fiat explosion and the final re-creation version.

Picked up our latest awards for the next two reliability runs coming up this month in St. Louis, MO and Oklahoma City. I made the steel parts and a good friend Alan Childers did the sharpie art.

I hope this hasn't happened to any of you HAMBers.

 

And we thought we knew when it all started

 

@edcodesign
For some reason your post this week reminds me of something...

@Jigger i still enjoy your work so much, especially this one

 

@Jigger Don't forget about Bender and Fry in the space Cadillac

 

A couple weeks ago I asked for some advice about loosening up my drawings to be a bit more “fun” and got some excellent suggestions from many of you. Thanks again! Here is my first attempt, still a ways to go but much more “free”. Since I am a lifelong lover of 57 Fords I figured a little tribute to one of my favourite builds on the HAMB being created by the amazing artist Jeff Norwell was in order…cheers all!
