'57 Chevrolet Newspaper Ad

CLINGS TO THE ROAD LIKE A STRIPE OF PAINT !
This has to be one of the steepest roads you have ever seen. Neat turns too. The art was done by Charles Allen. He was doing a considerable amount of work for Chevy at the time and illustrations like this show why. Not only is the art done in line as all newspaper art was then but the composition is great. He lived on the west coast and I have often wondered how Jim Hastings got such fine work from artists so far away.

Hi Jim, I'm lucky to have the original of this hanging on my wall!
