    Default Early 20th Century Fiat

    My latest. This car ( 1909 Fiat Tipo 50/60 Hol Tan) was built in the USA by a company (Hol Tan) subcontracted by Fiat. ONLY one year of production in the USA. Not sure why.
    It is possible that no cars of this year and model even exist anymore, although you can find a few pics of it on the web.

    I couldn't find an angle I liked from the existing pics, so I had to attempt drawing it using the available pics as a reference only. (much easier to trace them, if possible )

    Great one, Ron!

    One thing though: I can't quite figure out the shape of the backrest of the front seat.

    I really enjoyed this wonderful creation of yours. How magnificent many of the cars of that era were.

    Thank you Gary, Boy and TJB.

    Boy,
    I agree with your assessment. I've re-worked the seats. I hope they do a better job of imitating a tall? diamond tuck. The back seat was different in its appearance, though. Why, I don't know.

    I also did some touching up on the engine crank. Also, the little box on the running board looked like it was going to slide off, so I made some adjustments there. (Hey!, I'm not Gray!)
    Lastly, I had forgotten to put the Larz Anderson crest on the side of the front seat. He was one of the owners of the approximately 100 models of this type. AND..... I don't know why, but I wrote 1909 Fiat when it is a 1907 Fiat.

    SHEESH!

    Ron, you get better and better. Every drawing is a masterpiece better than the last. Fantastic.

    Ah, there are two seats and not a sculpted single seat. Looks really good now. Love how you did the shading and highlighting.

    I always enjoy your car renderings. So awesome! I don't know anything about the specific details and such and whether they're accurate enough, but good rendering = good rendering in my book, regardless of authenticity. Cool stuff!
