What were they thinking? What were they drinking in those 3 martini boardroom lunches? Why were they wasting time on stuff (well, they still do) that would never get made?



I dig that this is some really good art, but, no way anyone would ever make it, unless you were working for Hot Wheels. And huh, get this, these are from slides owned by Larry Wood, the legendary designer at Hot Wheels. But these are the art of a Ford designer, in the late 1940s, for the 1950 model year


I can see similarities in this and the mid 1960s Thunderbird


and this isn't far fetched, just that Kildare is hanging around shows a bit of whimsy, like this can't be taken seriously. And, we only have to think over the Fords of the fifties, and see none of these were used in any way



These two though, wow, sweet art!


For a big gallery, and lots to learn about the artist designer, Joe Oros: http://deansgarage.com/2016/joe-oros-ford-designer/

These were sent to Dean's Garage by Larry in this awesome old slide projector
