I have a couple of things to share and have the Poor Boys CC to thank for the opportunity!
Some time back I was asked to put together a Midnight Mass poster for this years show, coming up July 7th. It's a simple two color design silkscreened on French paper in the Cherry Red pop tone:

This was quickly followed up by the annoucment of the up and coming Detroit version of the show in 2013:

I also got a chance to work on some support gear for the Poor Boys with a few shirt designs featuring a '39 Lincoln Zephyr:

red version:

and Support sticker:


For myself, I did a limited run of tee's with my self portrait recently:



On a side note, I've been getting a lot of calls and emails about more Carb Lamps. There are some coming up in the near future, probably next week. For updates the best place to keep track is to do it on Facebook, or my Etsy page. These tend to sell fast, so don't call me if you hesitated and didn't get one.
Have a good weekend, especially you Fathers out there!

Great work, love the layouts and the colors

I couldn't say. I can't afford to buy HRM or any other mags so I use the internet for inspiration. I'm not even sure where I got the original pic from!

But thanks for your comments.

- His call seems ultimately correct. Hupp couldn't get the Skylark up & going due to complexitiy in the roof assembly- wasting a well received press launch. And Graham's efforts went beyond economic viability when faced with the extent of the re- hash of it's manufacturing plant.

Here's Alex Tremulis' recollections of his brief role at Graham (Thanks to Ford Motor Company's Oral Histories Project):

"Our (Cord's) prices escalated to the point where you could buy two Cadillacs for the price of one supercharged Cord. That was the beginning of the end. When the Cord empire collapsed, the Cord tooling was sold to Hupmobile and Graham who felt that front-wheel drive and V8 engines were too expensive, and that off-the-shelf, six-cylinder engines were the way to go with rear-wheel drive and that they could cut the cost in half. I was retained because of my experience at Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg by the president of Hupmobile as a consultant. Consulting is a very precarious position to be placed in--you have only two options: number one you tell the client what he would like to hear, or, number two, you tell him what he should hear. I chose the latter, which was a calculated risk. I strongly recommended that he spend $150,000 for a one-piece roof, and all his tooling men agreed with me. He retaliated by stating, "I'm not interested in saving money, I only paid $40,000 for the Cord dies." My answer was, "You just bought yourself $40,000 worth of junk." I was paid off and fired on the spot after three days! The lesson I learned was that if one must break necks, one must do it very, very gently. It's a shame that both Graham and Hupmobile failed in their venture as both cars were very beautiful, and they had the reputation of having very loyal clienteles of satisfied owners."

Hope I am not too late for this week's show.
And what a great show it is.

Wreckingball, if there is no other post, yours is the perfect close for a fantastic Show.
I believe you have captured the essence of the timeless beauty of the 36 Ford coupe.
Spot on!
