Item Description
11.75x16.75" thin artboard has original mixed media art depicting the main box lid art for 1987 Monogram model kit No. 2751 featuring three-time World of Outlaws champion Sammy Swindell's sprint car. Swindell has also competed in NASCAR and Champ Car competition and attempted to qualify for the 1987 Indianapolis 500. Various brand sponsors featured on sprint car include - Blue Max, Brodix, Chaparral, Motorcraft, Goodyear, Moroso, Sizzler, Carrera Streaker. Goodyear is featured three times and Chaparral is featured twice. "Sammy Swindell" name appears by driver. Art is signed by David Lord, a founding member of the Automotive Fine Arts Society (Lord has added "AFAS" notation behind his signature). Lord won the prestigious AFAS Athena Award for his painting in 1991 and 1993. He has been described by "Automobile Magazine" as "One Of America's Best Painters Of Motor Racing Scenes." Large image area nearly takes up entire artboard, w/only 3/8" strip at top margin unpainted. Artboard has moderate handling along left margin w/vertical crease running entire length and 1" tear at bottom left. Fine overall, but main image area could be matted for an Exc. display if framed. Impressive model kit art.
