"1956 Chevy Belair" 6" x 8" oil

Doesn't this car look like it is smiling?   I just love two tone cars, they are like spectator shoes.!   The Mini Cooper is and I wish they would make more cars in two colors!  Design wise it would make the cars more appealing... in my little opinion.   

Thank you for viewing my art.

1940 Chevrolet 6" x 8" oil

I love the way the front of cars make a face and these old ones always seem to have happy round cheeks.   This car had a mesh bug scene in front of the mouth or rather the grill.   I guess it does not like bugs in it's teeth.
