    Default 1957 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible

    I have the charts for all the color combos but I'm not going to post all of them. Too many. These are just two examples. (Halle Berry is an old drawing.)

    Nice images Ron. My experience with car photography way back in the day is you would get some blue/green reflection in the paint of the windshield from this angle.

    So is she a vector Halle Berry? Interesting idea I like it

    Thanks csehz, and yes, Halle is an old Xara drawing.
    Here's another with combo with Marilyn Monroe. I always think of her in pink or black for some reason.

    Gary,
    One of my mentors! Thanks for the tip. Not sure if I've got it right in the green example, but maybe you can help me some more on that. I'll look on the internet to see if I can spot an example that can guide me too.

    (oh, and did I mention that I hate drawing people?)

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Larry and Boy.
    Oh, and I misread Gary's post ( what a surprise). I think the reflection might work well on this drawing. Ill go back and have a go. Thanks again Gary.

    A beauty, Ron. They came with a 371 cu. inch motor. You could get a J2 package which was three two barrel carburetors and higher compression. I ran that combination in a 51 Ford I used to own. I remember it had a lot of torque. I kept a couple of spare Ford transmissions around because it used to tear them up.

    Excellent! It's been a while since I visited TG. Your work has become quite extraordinary Ron. I have always admired your work. Top notch.
