I’ve been so busy shopping for the little techs here in The Garage that I almost forgot about the gift guide!

Staying with the cool car art trend, how about some classic motoring prints from California based Car Art Inc. Retired car designer Peter Aylett knows a thing or two about automotive style. His company offers up the work of many different artists and works with car museums and collectors all over the world to spread the automotive gospel.

The image above is by Gary Whinn, who says about the piece:
“A stylish young couple on Sunset Boulevard pass the time in conversation whilst the service engineers examine their car in 1930s Los Angeles. This painting is a real blend of fact and fiction, so though based on historical fact it also includes a fair amount of artistic license! I love the symmetry of the building and from my research at the Bugatti Trust in England I know that it did once exist. However, I discovered on a trip to Los Angeles that sadly, it has not survived and I therefore felt all the more pleased that I had been inspired to record it in this painting.”
This Giclée on watercolor paper measures 17″ x 23″ and is one of 195 printed. It retails for $195

California Pit Stop by Ken Eberts

An old garage hand gazes enviously at a 1959 Ferrari 250 California, while the owner makes an unscheduled ‘pit stop.’ Up close, the artwork even shows some bugs on the front end after the Ferrari’s high speed run!

This 24″ x 32″ lithograph is available for $150.

Both prints and many, many more available are available online from Car Art Inc. or you can visit Peter
