Popular Post munzieb Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I had been looking at this car for a while. I was impressed with its style and innovative design. Even though the company went out of business in 1938 I was always impressed with it Art Deco features. Only 8 were ever sold and probably had to do with the cost of $10,000 back in 1933 during the middle of the depression. One of the most unique features of this car is that they put the spare tires behind the front tires in a concealed panel. Different from cars of that era that had them mounted on the running board. I believe that gave them more room on the interior. As usual, the design clean up took longer than the actual cutting. (2.5 days) I went bigger because I wanted to get the grill right. I used my straight edge scoring technique for the grill lines and I painted in some of the bridges on the hub cap and body lines. The 1/8" plaque is 11.5 x 18" on 1/4" backer. Finish is shellac with Clear Gloss Lacquer. Tomanydogs, RabidAlien, frankorona and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Wow! That is impressive! Thanks also for the info about the design of the car. I never knew any cars that concealed the spare tire like that. God Bless! Spirithorse munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
