Hello LM,

Nice array of photos on the convertible. I tried drawing the convertible many years ago, but it was hard to get the color correct. I, too have saved the original black/white photo and the color one. The color on the people look correct, but the car does not come close to any known or matching color palette. What exactly is the name of the color. Not just Pearl White, is it? Pearl was very popular back then and outstanding amongst all of the factory colors floating around on the streets.

Since I am a great admirer of those that can actually draw flames on cars and various items that look good, envy sets in fast when I see an original from back in those early So Cal days. A hand painted original Dean Jeffries logo is worth plenty on the “ink” market and it would stand out like no other forms of random ink we see these days trying to make a statement.

Yes, indeed, “The Modern Painter” HAS ARRIVED as noted!

 

Yes, it is a ski in case a wheel/hub breaks the axle doesn’t dig it and causes the car to flip.

Very common practice even a rule in many forms of vintage oval track racing.
