Artist's Description
This 1939 Packard V-12 Limousine was built for the Japanese Embassy in San Francisco and impounded by the U.S. government after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. After World War II it was sold as surplus to a farmer in Northern California who drove it for more than 40 years. It looks pretty good for a car that’s 70-plus: it has never been restored. It is now owned by classic car collector, Mr. Bob Pond.
Some of the greatest creations of the Classic Era arrived at the very trough of the Great Depression.

William, I'm indeed complimented coming from a car buff and a fine artist as well. There are some models which are so sculptural they beg for artistic attention, and this certainly is one. Appreciate your support!

Cheri, your picture is a very fine study in clean lines, polished painted metal and chrome. This is what a car picture is all about in my mind. That you have chosen such a special classic beauty just amps up the whole effect. Your handling and composition though, are what makes this picture sing. This is a clear choice for gearheads (present company included) everywhere! voted, favorite
