Old Car Art

One of my many passions in life is old car art. Paintings or pictures of old cars rotting away is mesmerizing to me..I have literally spent hours searching the internet for scenes of that old duece coupe sitting in a field, that '40 ford hiding in the barn next to grandma's house, and that split window beetle at the old wrecking yard in Nowheresville, America.

After drooling over the art of Tom Fritz and countless random flikr pictures, I recently stumbled across a site that I should have found long ago, ironically called oldcarart.com. Dale Klee is the artist, and it is exactly what I have been looking for all these years. Scenes of those deuce coupes by the multiples next to '40 Fords and F100's. He has painted muscle cars, stock cars, motorcyles...you name it and he's probably painted it.

I just thought i'd give him a shameless plug, to those of you who see this.

Will be writing more..hope to see you all soon.
