DON'T LOOK -- you may hate this thread !

Just received an order from Kanter Auto parts and their latest catalog which contains many hard to obtain mechanical parts. One of the things I also like about the catalog are the dozen or so drawings by van der Stricht. In this catalog they mentioned that they also like his drawings so much that they are going to build one of their own called "The Packard Any Year." Some of you won't like his drawings, but don't get too serious -- they're created for humoristic design.

Somebody needs to build the Auburn Fieldster.

 

That pickup is pretty cool.

Funny stuff.

Neat!

 

I could get excited about the V8 Saloon.

Much better than the stuff I dream up when I'm drinking.

I always get a kick outta those.

 

The carry-up pick-all is rad.

 

Dude has one hell of an imagination. Always enjoyed his art.-MIKE

 

That Corvette reminds me of a Muppet character that was in a movie... I forgot the name of it.

 

That carry-all pick up is bad ***

Here's another one.

 

...yup, those things are always cool, Kanter's been puttin them in their catalogs for awhile now, I really appreciate the guys imagination. What do you think Kanter's Packard will look like?

 

fo sho

that one is awesome

 

I think it would be cool if they made a collection of all of those. That would be worth having.

 

looks like someone likes hard liquor

 

Van Der Stricht's stuff is cool, been enjoying them for a while.

Ted Baisten has an interesting take on Studebakers you might enjoy as well.

The amphibious Corvair...they slightly resembled a boat towards the end anyway.

 

in some east coast show coverage a few months back, there was a pic of a car built with parts from many different cars, someone said it was the Kanter car. i remember it had Packard grilles like the Packars shown above.

i believe it was the thread where some of us were talking **** about the east coast style, the car fit right in!

 

sort of looks like j.leno material!!

 

A great combo of ugly and cool rolled up together. I love it.

 

He also did one for the Studebaker fans.

 

for some reason this one reminds me of a gravity challenged sunburnt lady on the beach in Miami I've been trying to forget.Let me rub a little more oil on you there mam.
