Art & Inspiration Looking for artist rendering from several years ago

Long shot I know but I have been looking for a artist rendering that was in Street Rodder magazine ( I think that's where I saw it)

It could have been Tom Taylor or Sanford or who knows?

Not much to go on I know but you guys have found stuff that I thought was impossible in the past.

The image is of a black 49 Ford coupe with flames,a louvered hood and a interesting grill treatment with the bottom of the grill mirroring the top. HRP

 

bump for you

 

This one?

 

^^^^^That's a '50 and no louvers.^^^^

 

Paul,that's close but not quite it but thanks for trying.

The one I saw was in color and had louvers in the hood. HRP

 

I'm still searching.

 

Try CUSTOMRODDER........

 

I think I remember the picture and my bet would be that it was in Custom Rodder as well they had artist features all the time.

 

Never bought a custom rodder magazine in my life,that's not to say the artist was featured in that magazine. HRP

 

just thaught i remembered seein it..

 

I've checked Steve Stanford's Tom Taylor's Eric Brockmeyer's & Jimmy Smith's sites with no luck. The black Ford with flames featured above is on Steve Stanford's Facebook page. Thom Taylor does not show any of his artwork on a site. Can you tell us more about the grill treatment to help us pin in down more. I found this and wondered if this could possibly be a copy of the front end treatment you were talking about. I still can't find a black with flames & louvered hood 49 Ford though.

 

Danny, I have found numerous things aren't like I remembered.......what I don't understand is
how THEY changed over time ???

I remember the one you're talking about...the grill is what stands out to me...

 

Hnstray, You're scaring me :O

 

Dudley: Do you recall what the grill was? Does anyone have a clue what mag it was in? Tim

 

The lower grill section mirrored the top,it was like front of another hood and the trim around it looked just like the top,,another thing I recall is the bumper was notched for the bullet in the center. HRP

 

I remember the pic your talking about. I thought I had it saved in my pic's but, I can't seem to find it. I also liked that grille treatment. Hopefully someone else has a picture of it. I'll try and search for it again in a little while. It's driving me crazy that I can't find it. I think I have too many pic's saved. LOL,

 

Bump for you.

 

I can't remember...but I was into Rod and Custom and American Rodder...

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers seeing it. HRP

 

Any idea on the year of publication it was in ?

 

Sorry man,I'm getting long in the tooth and my memory is short! HRP

 

I looked again through my saved pic's and it 's no where to be found. I thought I had it saved. I did some searching on the web and I did find one that's similar. If I'm my memory serves me right I believe it's on a car built by Ian Roussel.

 

The grill treatment was very similar to the one you posted,but it sported a bumper with a notch to match the grill opening. HRP

 

Bump,maybe someone remembers. HRP

 

I think there is a reason why this headlight treatment isn't seen too often. Bob

 

I don't believe those headlights were on the one we're trying to remember...but the grill is similar...

 

Your absolutely correct,but they are fugly. HRP
