Awsome Ron, keep them coming!!
Looking at these reminds me that most of us seasoned modelers did this exact same thing, it was all a part of our love of all things automotive. We used to doodle and draw the hours away, at is all but lost amoung the kids of today, sure there will always be those who gravitate to art, but the exposure isn't there like it was when we were in Jr. Hi and Hi School. We had real live art classes, which you had to create to pass the class, we had mechanical drawing, illustration, graphic arts, commercial art and several favors of just art classes like drawing and painting, pottery, jewelry all of which primed our creative selves. It's no wonder that the baby boomers are huge on crafts and hobbies we're like the biggest demographics group amoung hobbies!
Kids today get their creative kick on the computer for the most part, but to me it's just not the same or as creative as something that went from your brain to a practiced hand. This is coming from a guy that this time of year sits behind a computer at work doing CAD all day for a couple of months on end creating the plans for the projects the state DOT will be doing in the spring and summer months, (just to slow down the vacationers!). I can tell you there is a huge difference in what it feels like to have a set of hand drafted plans accepted versus a set of CAD created plans. For me the creativity just isn't the same or really there, I'm working on the computer that's it! When we lose art for arts sake our society is going to be poorer for it, that's why seeing these old hand drawn cars really gets my creative juices flowing, they show subjects drawn by guys who knew what they were drawing, and how to technically show what they were trying to show their viewer!

I see in these the work of un-seasoned artists who were exposed to the work of professionally trained designers...probably Art Center in Pasadena. There was an incredibly high standard of hand-rendering seen in advertising and promotional art of the day. Young guns could figure out a lot of stuff just by emulating the work they could find on the back of a magazine or a brochure. When I was a student in the early 2000s, I would go into the dusty stacks of the Arts library and find 1970s books on architectural rendering...perspective, chalk rendering, markers, all the good stuff. It was my drug. I sought out 1950s concept art and tried to learn how to draw cars based on what I was seeing. It's still the stuff that turns my crank. My fellow students were oblivious to all of that material, and professors told me "well, that's nice but it's not what Design is these days". Fair enough. I guess I've always been attracted to that bygone era, when "styling" was the core of design and hand-rendering was the way to get it done.
Seeing this art makes me want to learn to draw cars again...but not this century's cars!

Kool stuff here made me grab a bunch of vintage mags off the shelf and review the artwork, heres some of what I found that I don't think duplicates whats already been displayed here. All of this is from Car Model magazine from 62 to about 65, the "Designers Drafting Table" regular feature. Hopefully this will be legible Heres a stray pencil rendition of a Surf Panel accompanying an article about building a similar model: How about a quick look at the Readers Showcase for that month, to reveal the seemingly ubiquitous Pencil Box conversion, always loved those: And finally, a look back at how it was...ah the memories! Might dig through some more later on... jb
