Art & Inspiration The Friday Art Show

"Roadster 'n Ronda"

 

Good Fri. Ya all !

 

Alan Bockla early days:

Hello,
My brother and I have seen plenty of T roadsters since our early beginnings at Lion’s Dragstrip. They were almost as popular as the full bodied roadsters in almost every cl***. These early photographs by Pete Garramone, gave me some tempting art drawings. The T body is difficult to draw. The color photos gave me a different idea of how flames could be added to a cool design.

Alan Bockla T Roadster By 1960, he was driving a Chevy-powered T-Roadster at local drag strips.
a two color scallop design with similar colors, but just enough to stay different…

“Here is one of my shots of Alan Bockla's roadster. He bought it from a good friend of mine who ran it with a flathead at the 1956 race in Great Bend, Kansas. Alan's parents owned and operated F&M Auto (Ford & Mercury) for a bunch of years in the early '50s. Great people. I'm not sure why Bockla picked a small block for the car. He went on to run several fuel dragsters…”

Greetings to all on this "FAS" Friday.
There was a time period in this country, when car and truck manufacturers, were not afraid to make some incredible, high quality chrome grilles.
I have always been fascinated, with the intended personality of the faces of trucks and cars, reflected in chrome.
So this weeks offering is a few of my favorite grilles.
To me they will always be works of art !

 

Eat More Chicken.

 

So, I got this one ****oned down this morning as well.

@unnamed moderator, As I was drawing a certain feature of this, I had a discusion with my wife about a conversation I'd had with said moderator..
As such, I decided a cutesy Hawaiian inspired ****tail dress would be appropriate...


"53 Chieftain Custom" with a bit of Roadmaster tossed into the mix, so to speak..
