2 0 0 9​

Over the years I've received quite a few Rod & Custom related Christmas cards ... but most have been of a "Street Roddy" flavor.

Lets see some Christmas Greeting Cards, Advertisements, and/or other Artwork with a "Traditional Hot Rod & Custom" flavor.

Old or New ... Post 'em up!

I'll start it off with this 1954 Tom Medley illustration:

Von Franco had a Bad Ass one last year

 

All very cool! ...

@BinderRod ... I was gonna post @Jeff Norwell's "SANTY" artwork from last year ... but only had a very low rez copy ... definitely one of my favorites!

Al (@NITROFC) ... Medley's Stroker McGurk artwork for the December 1951 cover of HRM sure makes for a cool greeting card!

​

Bruce (@cuznbrucie) & Jack (@hotrd32) ... diggin' your cards too ... thanks for sharing!

@lockwoodkustoms ... Don't think I've seen @Von Franco 's artwork from last year ... did he post it in a Friday Art Show?

NOTE: Be sure to click the card to download a very CL video clip!

 

Here's my 2009 Christmas Cards. It's a photo I took using a couple things I had laying around. The hardest part was trying to move anything metal around because it was frozen into the ground, also it was a balmy 15 degrees outside.

Not a cool old print but this was mine last year

 

Im useing this for 2010s cards. Its a T rotting in a field about 7 miles from my house. The old some day crap is what you hear from the owner.

Bill (@BCCHOPIT) - Maybe not old, but it's a very cool photo! ... in fact, this pic (which you posted on December 21, 2009 in the O/T......H.A.M.B. Christmas Pictures thread) was actually the impetus for me to start this thread (on December 23, 2009).

 

Here's some more of Bruce Tatman's Christmas card artwork:

​

 

I'm using this one this year '10....

 

Cool Thanks... now I wish I sent you one last year
I don't have one this year. My car was down last winter so I didn't get to drive it. If we get some snow I would like to get a shot with the kids and the car this year. I got a little shit last year about no kids or dog. But when I was cleaning the drive way every one was still in bed If you look at the HAMB calender next mouth you will see I love to drive in the snow

So cool! And Norwell's drawing rocks!

 

Here's the illustration that @Ryan posted last year in his Merry Christmas! Blog:

This really is a killer photo

 

We will be sending this out this year:

 

Feeling a little bit under the weather this morning, so I spent some time looking for some Christmas/hot rod images and here's what I found:
Happy RamaHannuQwansmass everyone! (Festivus, too)
