Vintage B-ville Art

a bell autoparts souvenir booklet... i dont know the exact year when this was produced, but based on the motors and speeds people were clocking as well as Gus Maanum's presence at the lakes, id venture a guess of 1946 +/=... best money ive ever spent.

 

yeah I gotta say i love Gus Manuum's work...

GMC motorhomes and Airstream trailers are art, also.
There's one on the left in this picture.

 

Here's an artsy one by Walter "Bud" Wright who illustrated Bell Auto Parts catalogs for Roy Richter.

 

Well, this isn't vintage, but this is the first public appearance of this artwork that I did. We are currently building this car.

 

Man this place has the best art threads!
