I’m not quite sure if I’m seeing the resemblance you are.

^ I can see it in a Mad Maxish type way.

Oh, THAT Ford Falcon XB Coupe! I see it now.

^ Can't answer that one Spartacus as they were random pics I'd saved ages ago. I didn't know there is a book of them

Definitely worth looking up on the net as I'd like to see more.

Google '1960s car art' or something like that.

My pot addled memory finally succumbed, it's a book called 'Zany Afternoons' by Bruce McCall. Definitely worth picking up of you can find one. I'm going to root through my stuff that's stored at my folks place and see if I can find it.

"Zany Afternoons" is a great book and represents his art across several genres - mostly taking the piss.

 

 

 

If you can find one, this is also v. amusing and full of 50s parody - aimed at the car enthusiast.

Yeah, I remember it well now, I think there's an Italian fighter plane design that can fly as capably and as fast in either direction, that kind of thing, I must find the book!

What they said, with better pictures than I'd have found too.

 

You have to remember Max's car is the only Falcon XB Coupe most of us have seen over here.

Quite like this one from around 1981.

"Gran, you know that stair carpet you're going to be replacing this weekend, the one you've had since 1947? Can I have an offcut for the door of my van? It's exactly the width I need."

 

- "You take as much as you want".

 

Later............

"What's that funny smell in the van? Smells rank. Like old cheezy feet".

^ Yellow Interceptor Cort 3rd pic up.

Now that's uncanny, I've had this pic lying around for a week or two.

An Oz Mk3 Cortina 4.1. 'Rallye'. Was this for real? Maybe a 'GT' 4.1 spec version?

Or maybe some bloke bought a Rallye decal from a petrol station on a Saturday morning. Don't know.

Trivial Quiz : Can anyone identify the blue car behind ?  I do have an idea and believe it's also a Lada.

But, sadly ......
