🔥 Posting some fire this evening 🔥 - Original 1937 Cadillac car advertising illustration. Very similar but not exact to the image that appears in one of the catalogues (see last image posted).

Majority of old magazine ads, car brochures and other advertising used hand painted illustrations by exceptionally talented artists. Most of the original art was not valued in period / destroyed making this type of material very rare

When I acquired this piece originally (from the estate of a world renowned automobilia collector), it was presented in a cheap gold coloured frame. I posted images when framed on an vintage car forum and immediately multiple posters insisted it was just a framed brochure. Removing the frame to expose the artist board backing and brush stroke details quickly silenced the skeptics - it's an amazing one of a kind piece of history!
