"53 Cadillac Convertible

[munzieb]

A few years ago I was at a local car show and was impressed with a 1953 Cadillac convertible. The yellow color and all that chrome really looked  great. I found my original picture and started my pixel gobbling designing. I eliminated the shadow on the front but added more lines than needed. (Started taking them out as I started cutting, things got a little thin!) Some of the reflection on the chrome threw me a little too. I always cut the text first in case I screw it up. I did! The "3" upper internal loop was a little too fancy and it fell out... Tried, but couldn't glue it back in. Started again and now have a piece for another project. Font is English 157 BT TTF. The plaque cutting is 1/8" BBPW with a 1/4" backer and is 18" x 12". Love my UPS store for enlargement/copies $1.36 for 4 on gloss card stock. Time to give the cars a rest. Working on a portrait for my sister and still have several pieces of 1/4 and 1/2" stock for boxes I need to use up.

A very well done rendition of "Mellow Yellow"!

 

Great job all around-pattern, cutting, and framing too.

These old cars, an trucks, was made when you could tell a Ford from a Chev from a Buick from a Pontiac etc going away from you at the old speed limit of 65 mph. Now I can’t tell one from another setting still without reading the name on it. Nice job on it!

Aerodynamic, high speed turtles.  Chrome? right, silver paint on plastic..... fast but no class.

I fell in love with the 53 Cad years ago. I found a beautiful one that had been "street-rodded" with all updated drivetrain and accessories but there was no way I could afford the price. So, your picture will have to suffice. Great job. Thanks for posting.
