Bill Knafel was an institution in Akron,

of drag racing that brought national acclaim. "Sweeeet"

Size: 22" x 28"
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"
Size: 22" x 28"
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. "Good Buy Oldsmobile"
Size: 22" x 28"
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. "Mopar Strip"
Size: 22" x 36"
To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the "Mopars At The Strip" event, automotive artist Dave Snyder was commissioned for a new painting celebrating "The Wildest Mopar Party in the West". "Mopar Strip" takes us on a nostalgic trip among the glitz and glamour of the icons along Las Vegas Boulevard in 1972. Some of the best Mopar Muscle will cruise the strip this night. "Motorama 1954"
Size: 20" x 36"
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. "Collector's Backdrop"

Size: 22" x 28"
Every car enthusiast in Chicago knows the legend of the backwards "K", the Nickey Chevrolet dealership on the northwest side. This spring evening in 1962 the OK used Car lot is busy. Anxious buyers take cars out to test drive up and down Irving Park Road. the 1959 SCCA Corvette "Purple People Eater" is rolled out for promotional purposes. The Staphani brothers loved to go racing to promote the dealership. It didn't matter what kind of auto racing. Nickey Chevrolet sponsored Stock Cars, SCCA, NHRA and CanAm with the drivers we revere - AJ Foyt, Jim Jeffords and Dick Harrell. "Northside Chevrolet"
Size: 22" x 28"
Wouldn't you love to walk into this scene in 1972 and onto this OK USED CARS lot? You could pick up a gently used 1970 Z-28, 1969 Yenko Camaro, or a not so gently used '67 Big Block Corvette. Pick them up, store them for thirty five years, take them to Barrett Jackson...SOLD! Bingo, you beat the market big time. OK USED CARS was Chevrolet's mark of
quality since the mid 1930's. "Where Horsepower is Made"
Co-Signed by "Mr. Norm" Size: 22" x 28" We are in the service department at Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. To the right is the Parts Counter -you can pick up a more aggressive cam, a set of headers and check out the Hemi Block display demo. Have the new parts installed and take your Dodge back to the dynamometer to get the technician to do a "Mr. Norm's Dyno Tune". While you are there, check out the Hemi Dart and the Funny Car. This is "Where Horsepower is Made". "YearOne"
Size: 22" x 28"
Everyone knows the story. After years of searching for parts for his 1969 Trans Am, Len Athanasiades founded YearOne. That was 25 years ago; and today, YearOne has bragging rights as the leading muscle car restoration parts business. Kevin King, president of YearOne, commissioned artist David Snyder to commemorate the 25th anniversary with a painting. The original painting was presented to founder Len Athanasiades at the YearOne Experience in Atlanta this past April. The painting depicts significant first year milestones in muscle car history, including Len's Trans Am in front of the famous Varsity Drive-In, located in Atlanta, just across from Georgia Tech where Len attended as an engineering student. "Cats, Snakes and Horses"
Size: 22" x 28"
The blue oval gave us lots of choices in the sixties and early seventies. When it came to a high performance pony car you had a choice between cat, snakes and horses, now you can have all three with "Cats, Snakes and Horses". A wide variety of engines were available, from the high revving 302 to the tire melting 428 Cobra Jet. You could choose the high style luxurious Cougar or a bare bones Boss Mustang. "1969" Co-signed by David Pearson
Size: 22" x 28"
The Champion of the 1969 season was David Pearson. Pearson won an amazing 11 races. Depicted in this new painting by automotive artist David Snyder is the historic National 500 in October of 1969 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Historic because it was the first time the Ford Talladega went up against the new Dodge Daytona on a super speedway with top drivers at the wheel. "1969" showcases the drivers who won a race in the 1969 season. Bobby Isaac (17), David Pearson (11), Richard Petty (10), Lee Roy Yarbrough (7), Bobby Allison (5), Cale Yarborough (2), Richard Brickhouse (1) and the winner of this race, the National 500 Donnie Allison (1) exits pit lane. The first in a series of American Muscle at the races, "1969" will be highly collectible. Each limited edition print is inspected, numbered and signed by the artist and cosigned by David Pearson. "Fish Food"
Size: 22" x 28"
Plymouth beat Ford in the Pony Car War by just two weeks. The Barracuda was unveiled on April 1, 1964. It was the first and became the best. There were three generations of the Barracuda. The first spanned from 1965 to the end of the 1966 model year. It shared the A body platform with it's first cousin the Valiant. Nineteen sixty seven through '69 was the second generation, still on the A body platform, but receiving a horsepower and displacement increase. In 1968 several Hemi Barracuda Super Stocks were produced and made itself known on the dragstrips across the country. Then came 1970 and the 'Cuda was born, with the Hemi 'Cuda becoming the best of the best. "Walter and Vince"
Size: 22" x 28" This new painting by automotive artist David Snyder pays tribute to Walter Teague and Vince Piggins, two gentlemen who helped to create symbols of the American landscape. Walter Teague was an industrial designer who penned the design of the infamous Texaco service station in 1937. By 1940, over 500 Texaco stations bore the Teague design. Eventually over 3000 dotted the US landscape. Vince Piggins was the father of everything high performance at Chevrolet. He joined GM in 1956 and is responsible for the Z-28 and the C.O.P.O system of ordering cars that gave rise to Yenko, Nickey and others. "The Enthusiast"
Size: 22" x 28"
The folks at Muscle Car Enthusiast Magazine asked me to produce an image for the magazine cover. I was asked to express the essence of the muscle car hobby. Right!...in one painting? A challenge, but I will try. I know what I did not want. I did not want the typical "top ten muscle cars of all time" survey. I selected the cars I would like in my stable. Definitely not something so valuable I would have to trailer it. The cars would be at the ready - ready to drive to the next Cruise In, ready for a night on the town or ready for that drive through the country on a summer day. "Now Playing"
Size: 16" x 34"
In "Now Playing" there are fourteen cars from ten different movies in which the cars were the stars. Can you name them? For a list of the movies, click here. "American Style"
Price: $85.00 plus $10.00 shipping
Artist's comments: Webster's defines style as "a distinctive or characteristic manner" When American Motors entered the muscle car market, it was far behind the big three. AMC was known for economy and practicality. It didn't even have a motor over 290 cu.in. So there was a need for character and distinction, like the 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler. There is no denying it had style, the big boxy hood scoop and wild graphics set it apart. It was one of the quickest stock production cars of its day. Hey, that worked for the lowly Rambler American, what about the Rebel? We'll do the same thing with the mid-size and call it "The Machine". Let's not forget about the hot selling Javelin. We'll cut a foot out of the middle and make it the other two seater sports car. Now THAT"S style! "Mike:
'575 West Pike' is a Christmas gift so it is wonderful that it will
make it in time. Thank you."
