If you raced a car at U.S. 30 Drag Strip or just raced stop light to stop light on Saturday night, you knew about the Nickey Chevrolet Speed Shop in Chicago.  Located in the converted body shop at the back of the dealership, you could get whatever you needed to win - not to mention the added bonus of S&H Green Stamps.

Partnering with Bill Thomas in Anaheim, California, together they claimed to have the largest selection of Genuine Chevrolet Parts in the country.  They also had the experts on staff to lend a hand and make installations.  Nickey was one of the first dealerships in the country to support racing with a speed shop and build extraordinary cars that are now legend."

"Back to Brice"

Signed Limited edition lithograph

Signed limited edition on acid free stock
Print price: $110.00 plus $12.00 shipping

During the Mopar Nationals every August the party moves to Brice Road.  As the sun goes down on Reynoldburg, Ohio, high horsepower Mopar lights up the street.  Tire smoke and roaring motors fill the night as Mopar fans from around the world stand by and cheer.  Mopar drivers strut their stuff during this unofficial parade of the best of the best in Mopar.

"Back to Brice" is artist David Snyder's second visit to Brice Road with a paint brush in his hand.  The first painting was completed in 2001 and sold out as fast as the speeding Mopar Muscle on the National Trails Raceway Drag Strip.  Don't miss the opportunity to own "Back to Brice" before it sells out too.

Print price: $90.00 plus $10.00 shipping

General Motors fielded a complete redesign of all brands in 1959.  The emphasis was on more interior room and a lower, wider, more sculpted body, and of course, fins.  It was the last full year Harley Earl presided as the head of the General Motors Art and Color Department.

The Motorama style dedicated concept cars present at the show were a turbine powered Firebird III and the bubble top Cadillac Cyclone with dual radar pods in the front fenders.  The most striking feature to artist Dave Snyder was the extraordinary color palette GM offered with the outrageous matching color interiors.

"Truck Stop"
by Dave Snyder

Signed Limited Edition of 500

Size:  22" x 28"

  
$90.00 plus $10.00 shipping

For travelers from the Midwest to the Deep South the Pure Truck Stop Sign was a shining beacon.  Take a break from the road for a meat loaf dinner or grab a cheeseburger at the restaurant - and don't forget a piece of pie.  Fill up on Firebird gasoline or Energee diesel for the next leg of the trip.  Long Haul professionals can take advantage of services from truck inspections to a hot shower.

The transporter driver in this scene is hauling a load of 1972 El Caminos from Atlanta.  In this 1972 scene we see El Camino and Chevy Pick Up drivers stop to refuel.  The Chevy truck was the most popular truck from 1967-1972.  Trucks were being manufactured to be more like cars - bigger motors, plush interiors and brighter trim packages.  The Department of Commerce reports 63% of the 1972 American workforce truck population consisted of pick up trucks - taking 20% of sales away from automobiles.  Trucks are a big part of the American road scene

Nineteen sixty nine was a banner year for the Chrysler Corporation with 1,639,694 automobiles sold.  The Plymouth Road Runner alone accounted for 84,420 cars sold and was named the Motor Trend Magazine "Car of the Year".  Traveling the auto show circuit in 1969 was the Plymouth Duster 1 concept car.  The topless Hemi powered car was based on the Road Runner shortened to a 100 inch wheelbase.

Dodge also showed a custom concept, the "Custom Swinger 340", with its six inch chopped roof.  The Dodge Charger line up included three distinct body styles.  The charger 500, the winged Charger Daytona, and the regular Charger.  Total production on the Charger was over 89,000.  Chrysler also showed a concept car in 1969, the 70X with parallel sliding doors.

"Motion"

Joel Rosen always had a reputation for building cars that won on the quarter mile strips.  The first was a 1958 Corvette he built in the service bay of his Sunoco station in Brooklyn.

The reputation grew with more wins and when Joel was asked to help others win, he opened Motion Performance on Sunrise Highway in Long Island.  The local Chevrolet dealership, Baldwin Chevrolet, provided Motion with the latest high performance factory parts.  By 1967, Motion partnered with Baldwin Chevrolet and the legend "Baldwin Motion" was born.  Buy one of the "Fantastic Five", a full sized Chevrolet, Chevy II, Camaro, Chevelle or Corvette at the dealership.  It would then go to Joel at Motion and get the "Phase III" treatment.

PR guru Martyn Schoor joined the fray and a "Dyno Proven Products" catalog was published.  Now anyone could add the Motion magic to their own cars.  Sadly, when the perfect storm of the insurance companies, OPEC and the EPA blew into town, Motion - just like many other super car dealerships became a sign of the times and an era of power and muscle came to an end.

It's press night before the opening of the 1955 Motorama.  The models are elegantly dressed in gowns of silk, tulle, and
taffeta.  Miss Buick is being photographed in her black and white dress; her ruby necklace a perfect match to the Buick Wildcat III.  Miss Cadillac, dressed in pink waits her turn to be photographed in front of the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.

Other concept cars at the 1955 Motorama are the Chevrolet Biscayne, the Pontiac Strato Star, and the Oldsmobile Delta.  The first American mini van the L'Univerfselle with its coral paint and cam doors is shown as a concept car.  The marque LaSalle is shown for the first time since 1940 as a four door sedan and as a two door roadster.

The 50 millionth GM production car was a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop complete with gold plated trim.  It takes a prominent spot next to the new 265 cu.in. Chevrolet V8.

Artist Dave Snyder researched old films and more than 40 photographs to make Motorama 1955 come to life.

"Shelby LAX"
by Dave Snyder

Signed Limited Edition of 950

Size:  20" x 36"  
$100.00 plus $12.00 shipping

"It's the second week in March 1966 at Los Angeles International Airport.  The Shelby prepared cars for Ford are being
loaded onto the transporter, headed for Sebring.  Already loaded is the Ford X-1 Roadster #1 that will win the race driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby.  The #2 GT40 MKII is pushed out of the hangar waiting to be loaded.  Ironically, Dan Gurney will push this car across the finish line at Sebring after its engine seized on the last lap while leading the race.  Gurney and co-driver Jerry Grant were disqualified.

The Shelby American LAX shops were a busy place in March 1966.  After moving to the hangars on 12 acres in January 1965, Carroll Shelby produced some of the most memorable cars in automotive history.  In this scene we see both 289 and 427 Cobras, the Mustang GT-350 and also waiting for delivery are a few GT350H for Hertz.  The LAX facility closed in November 1967 when the production of the Shelby Mustang was moved to Michigan."

Bill Knafel was an institution in Akron, Ohio.  Knafel Pontiac showed its civic pride as a sponsor of local baseball, softball and bowling teams.  It was, however, his sponsorship of drag racing that brought national acclaim.

Bill Knafel first went drag racing in 1959 with a Pontiac Catalina station wagon.  The first "Tin Indian" was a 1962 Catalina.  His reputation grew as he won races.  Bill Knafel Racing won more National and World Championships than any other Stock Class Team.

This 1971 scene of the "Goodwill Used Cars: shows the lot filled with some of the best Pontiacs money could buy.  The 1970 "Tin Indian" GTO Judge sits on the Transporter awaiting its fate after winning the 1970 AHRA Pro-Am with Norm Tanner driving.

Pecan candies from Stuckey's - a popular choice to satisfy any sweet tooth in 1972.  A Dairy Queen creamy soft serve hot fudge sundae is the perfect sweet spot on a warm summer evening.  Best of all, everyone loved the sweet glazed "Hot doughnuts Now" from Krispy Kreme.  Eat a couple while still warm and save the rest until morning.

Satisfy the itch for ground pounding, tire melting horsepower and drive your Hemi - the Challenger, the Cuda, the Roadrunner, or the Charger Daytona - Sweet!  This newest release from artist David Snyder depicts the sweetest treats on the road in 1972.

Bob Tasca Sr. started racing in 1962 with a lightweight 390 Galaxie.  Since then, this East Providence Rhode Island dealership has been a fixture on the quarter mile stage.  Always the innovater and after blowing up a lot of 390 cubic inch engines, Tasca found a way to lead the Blue Oval to win races.  He bolted on a pair of old style low riser, higher breather 427 headers to the high torque 428.  Dearborn took notice and the Cobra Jet was born.

In Tasca's 1971 A-1 Used Car lot are Cobra Jet powered Mustangs and Torinos, including a few CJ powered "King of the Road" Shelbys.  Tasca's personal driver is a '69 Boss 429 that was reported to do runs in the 9 seconds.

"575 West Pike"
by Dave Snyder

Signed Limited Edition Lithograph

Size:  22" x 28"  
$90.00 plus $10.00 shipping

Little remains of Yenko Cheverolet except the "super cars" Don Yenko produced.  Yenko's high performance cars are some of the most collected cars on the planet.  The image everyone conjures up when they hear Yenko Chevrolet is the one photograph with Don Yenko standing in front of the dealership founded by his father.  The muscle car action may have ceased, but the building still stands and the fervor for Yenko is as powerful as the cars he built.

Artist Dave Snyder made another pilgrimage to Canonsburg to do urban archeology, sketching and studying the Yenko site.  Today it is a mower/motorcycle shop, but enough remains for Snyder to envision what it must have looked like in its heyday.  That visit, combined with Snyder's conversations and recollections with many former employees helped bring to life the new painting "575 West Pike" with historical accuracy.

At 10:00 am EST April 27, 2004 we said goodbye to Oldsmobile.  The last Olds rolled off the assembly line in Lansing, Michigan where the first car with the Oldsmobile name plate was built in 1897.  Oldsmobile was a good buy for American drivers for 107 years.

As a tribute to Oldsmobile, automotive artist Dave Snyder selected a few of his favorites - the Indianapolis 500 Official Pace Car from 1970, the Hurst Olds Pace Car from 1972 and the 1968 and 1969 Hurst Oldsmobiles as part of his new painting.

The big news for the 1954 GM Motorama was the number of concept cars.  Chevrolet caught everyone's attention with the Corvette based Nomad wagon and Corvair fastback displayed next to the production Corvette.  Pontiac featured the Bonneville Special bubble top with gull wing windows.  It was powered by the Pontiac straight eight with four two barrel carbs and an automatic transmission.  The Oldsmobile dream car was the sporty F-88.  The most radical design at the show being the Buick Wildcat II.  The pontoon fenders and headlights mounted on the A post made a lasting impression.  It was powered by a 220 h.p. V-8 on a 100 inch wheelbase.
