Nice one, Ron. The car seems to have a smug expression - not surprisingly.
Saludos,
Bob.

Simply fantastic. I like Marilynn behind the wheel as she fits the time period perfectly. I like the color of the car too. The reflection on the sidepanel seems to be smiling at me though, lol.

I associate Jane Mansfield with a pink car of that era. And if I remember correctly, she was decapitated in a grisly car accident on Sunset Blvd. near to where she lived and to where I grew up.

Needless to say, the accident cut short her acting career.

Nice work with the pink and chrome. But the reflection in the door detracts from the overall beauty of the illustration (IMHO).

Gary the grisly accident occured on US90 between Biloxi Mississippi and New Orleans Lousiana.

Jaynes decapitation is said to be a rumor, though clearly the head injury was enough to ruin any plans for the future.

Hey it was a long time ago, OK.

Very nice

Really stands out thanks to the colouring. It's probably just me but compared to the rest of your recent drawings this time the front bumper seems a bit deformed

certainly chrome effect causes this impression
