    It looks like a Jowett Javalin if I am correct, buggers to work on. A really excellent start why not put some more highlights on it carrying on with white transparency and maybe tone down the blue slightly and I am sure that it will lift the car as an illustration.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    I had a buddy who had one of these Volvo's when he was 18. He loved that car. He still has it 43 years later. I always thought they looked like a 1948 Ford. I actually think Volvo designed them to look like the 48 Ford. Nice job patman.
    Here's the Ford below.
