, Automotive Art

Some of the most intriguing examples of automotive art can be found on program covers that advertise concours, motor races, and similar events. Too often these are tossed after the affair is over but fortunately enough survive to make interesting collectibles. Browsing "McLellan's Automotive Chronicles" newsletter this week I found an extraordinary selection available at reasonable prices. The program cover seen here is fascinating, not only because of the variety of autos shown but also because of the old railway engine, which pre-dates the automobile itself by several decades. Trains, like cars, are part of our transportation heritage and I, for one, love it when both appear in a painting or photo. McLellan's offers this for only $10.00 but if it isn't to your taste there are dozens more to choose from. C'mon, folks... "give a click, have some fun!"
