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