Don, that car is beautiful! Hope to see it in person. Thanks for your help on the tires too.

forgot your car has Black Interior , not Parchment.

Maybe somebody can touch-up the artwork for Don so it matches his car.

Well, it was 1969...that looks like the 'acid' version of the shot.

The only problem with those AFVK drawings is that our cars will never look so low, long, wide and so beautiful... for that matter our lives will never be as serene and wonderful as that of those people in those drawings either!

I'm trying to figure out the type of 'beach' that is...I'm sure it's probably a real location...can't quite make out where the water's edge is. Is it a typical beach or a cliff that drops off to the water's edge?

Greg , the guy with towel around his neck owns the GTO.
He just met that Chick sitting on the Wall
She is already taking her Top Off to show this GTO Driver - her Tan-Line T i Ts .

The man checking out the GTO is Don King
He's more interested in the GTO - than her Tan Line T i Ts.

And you
You wanna know about the beach

what is wrong with you old dudes these days ?
lmao

Baron, I don't care how old he gets, a man will always notice a woman reaching for that part of her 'attire'...lol

That is Hydronetta beach on the Greek island of Hydra. There is no sand, just a smooth rock shelf and then a cliff to deep clear water, sort of like a pool more than the sea. btw, AF/VK also did a 69 Expresso LeMans with a Gazebo that is just around the corner from that beach.

Man those guys could make a car unbelievably stunning, must have been a nice life too, traveling the world in the 60's visiting beautiful places to paint.

And man those guys had talent, look at the light dance on this one. Bear in mind that the car and the background never met in person and in most cases they didn't even have a car to see, just preproduction drawings and sketches.

And how about painting some rain on a freshly waxed car, I've never seen any other artists who can do this type of difficult detail, same with headlights, so difficult to get just right. One boo-boo here though, this is a sedan so where are the vent windows?
