Reynold Brown (1917-1991) was a prolific American artist whose career embraced virtually every facet of the illustration field. 

His iconic mid-century movie posters are part of American pop-culture and have been rediscovered today by collectors. During his lifetime he drew newspaper comics (Tailspin Tommy), invented the concept of the cutaway drawing for North American Aviation, painted covers for some of the first paperback books ever published, illustrated scores of magazines and magazine covers, and most notably produced over 275 movie posters for the motion picture industry.

few cutaway mechanic training cars have been made as carefully and comprehensively done as this VW Beetle at the air-cooled Volkswagen show in Effingham, Illinois.

 

It is owned by Mike Yager of Mid America Motorworks, and was featured in a book The Complete Book of Classic Volkswagens https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.9780760359358_A30446283/preview-9780760359358_A30446283.pdf

Driving school cut away model... from the 50s.. I bet driving schools haven't shown students one of these for understanding how cars work, since the 70s

 I'm going to guess, that no one wants to spend anything near 2800 for this

Someone KNEW what would make the foot traffic stop by the booth... cutaway display cars!

For General Motors’ 1968 Motorama, Chevrolet built a “cutaway” 1969 Chevy Camaro with interchangeable front ends, so that potential customers could see both versions of the Camaro. It's coming to auction,

This car has been kept privately out of the public eye for 52 years and as documented on the title, this Camaro has 2.4 miles.

 

This Camaro is referred to as the "Double Header Car" as it has both a 6-cylinder base model front end as well as an RS/SS 350 front end which sat on a series of three turn tables and could be interchanged to display either version of the car with just the push of a button. 

The body would raise, the turn tables would rotate and in short, switch the front ends of the car changing it from an RS/SS 350 into a 6-cylinder base model car.

Mark, a mechanic and a Chevelle and Camaro parts dealer, purchased this show car back in 2010, and details as to its whereabouts subsequent to its onstage life are murky. Though unconfirmed, a handed-down story claims that this car went to an automotive technical school in New Jersey and years later, during renovations on the building, the Camaro was discovered in storage. It passed to a new owner, who considered making it a driver, but didn't. Then it was bought and owned for about 20 years by the person who sold it to Mark.
