'Ol 55

Carol Marine is doing a Daily Paintworks Challenge and I decided it would be good practice to participate. She is a woman of boundless energy and an amazing talent.  Click the links above to see Carol's work and the "Challenge" to see all the entries.

I believe this car is a 1955 Chrysler Imperial, possibly a coupe.  If it is not please let me know.  Lots of cars from this era sported fins and chrome with that "Buck Rogers" look.

    Nice job on this, Susan! I saw Carol's post earlier and love the idea of a new painting challenge being hosted, since Karin J's DSFDF was discontinued. I may have to give it a go as well, since I love vintage autos like this, and shiny stuff :).

    I like how you chose a different format for your version, too.

    Thanks Sonya. It would be great if you would join in. We should go on a old car painting expedition sometime!

    Oh, count me in on that!

    There are two awesome old vehicles - a Ford truck and an old rusted Plymouth - out on the road to Vallecito Reservoir - that I have been thinking I need to paint. I took photos of them the summer before we moved here, and I bet they are still around. The truck is especially awesome - bright yellow and rust.
