61 Parkwood

[DVierstra]

Here's a 1961 Chevrolet Parkwood. I am working on for a client from Germany.
He's a little bit more conservative than I would like. But you have to make them happy. So I have removed the graphic stripes.

looks great to me. The background is nice ... unique.

[SRD Art]

Ditto. That background really makes the art stand out.

Would love to see one of these done up as a gasser with a straight axle front end and all. Rolling on 20's is good too. :thumbsup:

[DVierstra]

Thanks guys! Well, it looks like the client is leaning this direction. Roof rack,
No shaved doors.

I like that one better... the little blue stripes were a little '80s for my taste. This one is killer!

[deuce_454]

i like the last one way better too.... and if you want to drive it in europe it will have to have exterior handles... the german polizei dont mess about either...

but i think the last one looks much less "dated" would be nice to see it on some bonneville salt flats style d hole wheels in 20 inch.. perhaps with a cast center...

[tgvettes]

like the grey/silver color combo better but I would do that paint combo with no doorhandles and no roof rack.

Thanks everyone! I will add more pics to this post as I work on it.

Here's an interior view. One of two.

Client wants to keep it with the two tone- Gun metal on top and silver on bottom with a light bright blue pinstripe separating the colors.

[city_ofthe_south]

that really makes me want to draw the interior of something .... looks slick

[ZVT]

Definetly the second one and that interior shot is freakin awesome...:thumbsup: :hail: :hail:

[DVierstra]

Thanks O'Dell & Zee! I can't seem to catch up on this project! My eye's are ready to pop!

That is going to be very sharp. Nice drawings. Love the interior. Looks like you have been quite the busy bee.
