Lithograph on fine art paper About 10 years ago, Dave was researching historic Chevrolet signage and architecture at the GM Heritage Center. Just for kicks, he typed in "Motorama" and a whole new world opened up. Three hours later Dave was armed with detailed photos and even engineering drawings of the GM Motorama events. This search resulted in four paintings over the next 10 years. The first in the series was "Motorama 1953" - a good place to begin since this was the year he was born. "Motorama 1954" and "Motorama 1955" followed. The newest addition to the series is "Motorama 1956" and boasts all the nuance and detail of the previous paintings. General Motors used the Motorama event to show the public the full line of productions automobiles. The sets were enhanced with elaborately designed sets and displays including music and a stage show with costumed dancers. GM concept cars were another feature. The big star of the show in 1956 was the turbine powered Firebird II rolling down the "Highway of Tomorrow". Showcased by Cadillac Motor Division was the Eldorado Brougham Town Car. Buick had the Centurion, Oldsmobile the Golden Rocket and Chevrolet the Impala concept car. The most striking was the Pontiac Club D Mur, a small two passenger sports car. Motorama always debuted at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, and traveled the US. In 1956 the show traveled to Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston. An unbelievable 2,348,241 people attended Motorama 1956. "Auto Show 1970" Signed Limited edition of 500

In 1967 Mel Burns Ford occupied both sides of Long Beach
Boulevard in Long Beach California. Along the east side was the new care
showroom, and the A-1 Used Car lot and the Ford Motor Sport Dealer were
along the west side. Mel Burns Ford was an authorized dealer of Shelby
American. "Buy Where The Racers Buy" was the advertising tag line. "Feeding the Herd" Signed Limited edition of 500
Lithograph on fine art paper Mustang was first offered for sale to the public on April 17, 1964. Twenty two thousand Mustangs were sold that day. A year later over 400,000 Mustangs were on the road. Mustang became the most iconic "pony car" of the muscle car era. Artist David Snyder has portrayed some of his favorite Mustangs in his newest painting "Feeding The Herd" with memories of the day when a busy gas station on every corner was the norm.

Lithograph on fine art paper Writer and photographer David Newhardt said
of the Chevelle, "It is a wonderful mix of good looks and great
performance." "Quick and Dependable"
Signed Limited edition of 950
Signed limited edition on acid free stock They meet again...world renown automotive artist David Snyder visits the legendary "Mr. Norm's" Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago for the fourth time. This newest painting, "Quick and Dependable" takes us to the Dependable Used Cars side of the famous dealership. All cars in this highly detailed painting were known to have been originally sold at Grand Spaulding. In the background you can see through the service door-more cars are getting the "Mr. Norm" treatment and becoming members of the The Mr. Norm's Sport Club. "Bobcats" Signed Limited edition of 500 Lithograph on fine art paper
Getting the "Royal" treatment meant you had one of the most feared Pontiacs on the street. It started with a visit to Ace Wilson's Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan. "Performance Sales Manager" Dick Jesse would go over the list of options you needed - including ram air induction, dual free flowing exhaust and a four speed manual linked to a limit slip rear end. Chief mechanic Milt Schornack would oversee the installation of these go fast parts. Your new Pontiac would then receive the "Royal Bobcat" decals and you would become a member of the Royal Racing Team. "Brumos 1972" Signed Limited edition of 500
Signed limited edition on acid free stock
Signed limited edition giclee on canvas "We Race What We
Sell"... that is the motto of Brumos Porsche. A racing heritage that
started with Volkswagen in 1954, the legend continues to this day with VP of
competition Hurley Haywood at the Jacksonville, Florida dealership. "Advanced Thinking" Signed Limited edition of 500
Signed limited edition on acid free stock "Advanced Thinking" was the advertising tag line used for the 1963 Studebaker Avanti. The Raymond Lowey designed coupe was the most exciting new car for 1963. it was picked to be the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car; but production problems got in the way and ultimately the Lark Daytona convertible paced the annual classic. 1963 was a big year for Studebaker with the introduction of the Avanti. The Wagonaire got a new sliding rear roof panel to haul tall loads. The 298 cu. in. V-8 was available with a supercharger. The year didn't end so well: Studebaker president Sherwood Egbert, sick with cancer, stepped down. New president Byers Burlingame moved the production of Studebakers from South Bend, Indiana to Ontario Canada. "Hurst Performance" Signed Limited edition of 500
Signed limited edition on acid free stock In the '60's and '70's if you were going fast a quarter mile at at time, chances are you did it with a Hurst Shifter. You could not go to a racing venue without seeing the iconic red and black "H" and you might even spot "Miss Hurst Shifter" Linda Vaughn. A consummate promoter, George Hurst knew how to craft an image. Hurst sponsored several exhibition drag cars, first the "Hemi Under Glass" Barracuda and then the "Hairy Oldsmobile" powered by two 445 Toronado drive trains. Hurst engineer Jack "Doc" Watson developed the 1968 Hurst Oldsmobile using the Toronado 455, which paved the way to the development of the 1969 Hurst Oldsmobile and the 1969 American Motors SC/Scrambler. Chrysler signed up in 1970 and the 440 powered full sized 300H hit the showrooms. The 1972 Hurst Oldsmobile became the only non-production car to be named "Official Pace Car" for the Indianapolis 500...leading the way for the production of the Hurst Oldsmobile from 1973-1975. "Sold" Signed Limited edition of 950
Signed limited edition on acid free stock "The sights and sound of a Mecum Auction are so intoxicating that automotive artist David Snyder just had to get it down on canvas. The warm glow of the neon contrasts with the hot TV lights. He wanted to capture the excitement of the auction - the way the lights reflect on the cars and the buzz of anticipation throughout the auction grounds. From the banter of the auctioneer and the yells of the grinders - to the roar of the engines and the sparkle and shine of some of the best cars from around the country...this is what fills the days and nights of the fabulous Mecum Auction." "Best In Show" Signed Limited edition of 500
Signed limited edition on acid free stock "The Mopar
Nationals celebrates its' 30th anniversary in 2010. The last 19 years
the Mopar Nationals has awarded an OE Gold Class Certification to cars
judged as outstanding Mopars. Each of those 19 years an award is given
for "Best of Show". "American Muscle Car" Signed Limited edition of 500
Signed limited edition on acid free stock "In 1966 a show car appeared at auto
shows introducing the intentions of AMC into the muscle car fray. It
was the AMX concept car followed shortly after by the AMX II in the
showroom. AMC offered the Marlin equipped with a 343 cu. in. 280 hp V8
tied to a four speed. As the saying goes, AMC was "off to the
races." "Speed-Stuff Super Market" Signed Limited edition of 750
Signed limited edition on acid free stock 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. "Catching A Few Z's"
Designed and built to go Trans-Am racing, the Camaro Z-28 is my pick for the best all around muscle car. It all started with the high-winding 302 cu. in. engine producing an advertised 290 h.p.; add a beefed up F-41 suspension and disc brakes - suddenly you're Mark Donohue in a Penske prepared machine. In 1970 the legendary LT-1 350 cu. in. engine was the basis for the Z-28. The second generation Camaro is still one of the most eye pleasing designs out of GM studios. "Catching A Few Z's" pays homage to the great Z-28. Sorry, sold out
