Page 3 in the Series

The automobiles in this series of pages represent, in my opinion, the ten most exotic, beautifully styled automobiles of the 1930’s era. The general theme or styling of each car in this series is representative of again, what I feel, as Art Deco styling.

Let me also make it clear that the title of this series “Curves of Steel” is not of my originality but rather, plagiarized from the official catalog produced for the April 2007 automotive exhibit at the Phoenix Museum of Art.

In April of 2007, The Phoenix Art Museum presented 22 streamlined American and European automobiles that demonstrated the intersection of style and aerodynamics in 20th century automotive design. The exhibition was widely celebrated in the media, from The New York Times to Architectural Digest to CBS Sunday Morning, and in virtually every leading automobile magazine.

“Coachbuilt Press" was honored to be selected by the Phoenix Art Museum to create Curves of Steel as the exhibition's premium catalog. The exhibition tracked the evolution of the streamlined shape from the 1930s to the 1990s. Edited and co-written by historian Jonathan A. Stein, Curves of Steel includes essays from many of the world's great automotive writers including Beverly Rae Kimes, Ken Gross, Phil Patton, Richard Adatto and Diana Meredith. Each car is presented with historic images and elegant, modern photographs by Michael Furman”.

The catalog was published as a Limited Edition standard hardbound book. Although now out of print since its museum edition sold out in 2007, this remarkable edition remains available, along with an array of superior quality limited edition prints through COACHBUILT PRESS.

With this clarified, the series being posted on flickr is strictly for non-commercial purpose. The various images (cars) were downloaded from the internet (none of the pictures contained were taken by me). Likewise descriptive text included in each page was, in large part, “copied and pasted” from sources found on the internet (with some editing in part). Where noted, source material has been credited.

The graphical layout for this series was assembled using Adobe In-Design and saved as a pdf document. The images viewed on flickr are “screen shots” taken from the pdf document, imported into Adobe Photoshop and then saved as .jpg images for up-loading to flickr.

Enjoy folks and feel free to offer your choices and/or preferences as to what you may feel as an appropriate candidate for one of the most exotic, beautiful cars of the 30’s. Keep in mind, that I am looking at automotive styling that would typify Art Deco design. You may also feel that one or more of the cars contained in this series should not, in your opinion, be included. In such case, I would appreciate an explanation as to why your feel as such.

You can come and just stroll along with winding paths for a nominal fee or, for a few dollars more, bring a camera and take pictures and/or videos and share them with friends. Among the many cars at Old Car City USA, there is the last car Elvis Presley ever bought back in 1977 just a couple months before he died. Also, a movie starring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash used one of the cars that now call this place "home." The honorary mayor of the "City," Dean Lewis, is also an artist in his own rite with some of the most unique canvas...the styrofoam cup. In his upstairs loft, Lewis has hundreds of styrofoam canvases featuring his artistic talents on display along with some paintings he will proudly show off.

Tourist attraction in Bartow County, Georgia. Old Car City in White, Georgia contains the worlds largest known classic car junkyard & is a unique landscape of metal and moss. Visitors enjoy the beautiful vegetation of the deep south that is intertwined with the hundreds of cars that reside in Old Car City.

Old Car City started as a small general store in 1931 during the Great Depression, Old Car City gradually evolved into a very big, very old automobile junkyard. But it wasn't until 2009 that owner Dean Lewis -- who grew up on the property -- realized he could turn it into a tourist attraction because a lot of people shared his love of decomposing automotive carcasses. It is still family owned and operated. 34 acres of forest and fields filled with 4,000 old cars (1972 and older) weathered and deteriorating old American cars. It has more than 6.5 miles of trails on 34 acres. Located about 45 minutes north of Atlanta in White, Georgia, is a cross between a junkyard and an outdoor car museum.

Tourist attraction in Bartow County, Georgia. Old Car City in White, Georgia contains the worlds largest known classic car junkyard & is a unique landscape of metal and moss. Visitors enjoy the beautiful vegetation of the deep south that is intertwined with the hundreds of cars that reside in Old Car City.

Old Car City started as a small general store in 1931 during the Great Depression, Old Car City gradually evolved into a very big, very old automobile junkyard. But it wasn't until 2009 that owner Dean Lewis -- who grew up on the property -- realized he could turn it into a tourist attraction because a lot of people shared his love of decomposing automotive carcasses. It is still family owned and operated. 34 acres of forest and fields filled with 4,000 old cars (1972 and older) weathered and deteriorating old American cars. It has more than 6.5 miles of trails on 34 acres. Located about 45 minutes north of Atlanta in White, Georgia, is a cross between a junkyard and an outdoor car museum.

Ah, 7 Days, I'm so happy to be back and yet, as seems always happens, I am so behind on the commenting...I will get there eventually.

Anyway, one of the reasons for that is that we were up at my parents place in Omaha for the weekend to visit friends as well as spend a bit of time with my parents. I always enjoy a trip up there, it's not so far away that making a weekend of it is a problem at all. My parents are wonderful and I could go on and on about that but I'm gonna refrain for all your sakes.

Now to the photo. In addition to seeing Bethany and her family an Saturday we also had plans to see some other friends of ours for breakfast in Sunday. It was really great seeing them and catching up but I just wasn't feeling the "photo explaining thing" lets look crazy in the restaurant and all that this morning. I also thought it might be fun to do a shot in my parents house for 7Days. This is Kassie and I a few minutes before leaving for breakfast with our friends, it's also a pretty good look at most Sat. & Sunday mornings around here. Laaaaaaiiiid back is usually the main goings on. I'm usually at the computer and Kassie eventually gets around to doing a bit of makeup in the very god light this room has. This is taken from the upper floor of the log house they live in and unfortunately I didn't have the really wide angle lens with me or you could have seen my mom in the shot too. She's be on a couch in the extreme bottom right that's just out of frame. She and my step dad John (that's him in the hat) are watching CBS Sunday morning on the TV (it's in the opposite corner of the room from Kassie and I). Oh, and I can't forget Mac, that's him with one of his bones in the middle of the room...not sure where my parents Scottie Misty was at, she must be out of frame as well.

Have a peek into our morning, get crazy with a million notes...and get super sneaky (I left it full size)! Camera was hanging from the upper floor railing with a gorillapod, taken with a 20 second timer. Mom was -justifiably- a bit nervous. ;-)

Page 4 in the Series.

These series of pages represent, in my opinion, the ten most exotic, beautifully styled automobiles of the 1930’s era. The general theme or styling of each car in this series is representative of again, what I feel, as Art Deco styling.

Let me also make it clear that the title of this series “Curves of Steel” is not of my originality but rather, plagiarized from the official catalog produced for the April 2007 automotive exhibit at the Phoenix Museum of Art.

In April of 2007, The Phoenix Art Museum presented 22 streamlined American and European automobiles that demonstrated the intersection of style and aerodynamics in 20th century automotive design. The exhibition was widely celebrated in the media, from The New York Times to Architectural Digest to CBS Sunday Morning, and in virtually every leading automobile magazine.

“Coachbuilt Press" was honored to be selected by the Phoenix Art Museum to create Curves of Steel as the exhibition's premium catalog. The exhibition tracked the evolution of the streamlined shape from the 1930s to the 1990s. Edited and co-written by historian Jonathan A. Stein, Curves of Steel includes essays from many of the world's great automotive writers including Beverly Rae Kimes, Ken Gross, Phil Patton, Richard Adatto and Diana Meredith. Each car is presented with historic images and elegant, modern photographs by Michael Furman”.

The catalog was published as a Limited Edition standard hardbound book. Although now out of print since its museum edition sold out in 2007, this remarkable edition remains available, along with an array of superior quality limited edition prints through COACHBUILT PRESS.

With this clarified, the series being posted on flickr is strictly for non-commercial purpose. The various images (cars) were downloaded from the internet (none of the pictures contained were taken by me). Likewise descriptive text included in each page was, in large part, “copied and pasted” from sources found on the internet (with some editing in part). Where noted, source material has been credited.

The graphical layout for this series was assembled using Adobe In-Design and saved as a pdf document. The images viewed on flickr are “screen shots” taken from the pdf document, imported into Adobe Photoshop and then saved as .jpg images for up-loading to flickr.

Enjoy folks and feel free to offer your choices and/or preferences as to what you may feel as an appropriate candidate for one of the most exotic, beautiful cars of the 30’s. Keep in mind, that I am looking at automotive styling that would typify Art Deco design. You may also feel that one or more of the cars contained in this series should not, in your opinion, be included. In such case, I would appreciate an explanation as to why you feel as such.

Tourist attraction in Bartow County, Georgia. Old Car City in White, Georgia contains the worlds largest known classic car junkyard & is a unique landscape of metal and moss. Visitors enjoy the beautiful vegetation of the deep south that is intertwined with the hundreds of cars that reside in Old Car City.

Old Car City started as a small general store in 1931 during the Great Depression, Old Car City gradually evolved into a very big, very old automobile junkyard. But it wasn't until 2009 that owner Dean Lewis -- who grew up on the property -- realized he could turn it into a tourist attraction because a lot of people shared his love of decomposing automotive carcasses. It is still family owned and operated. 34 acres of forest and fields filled with 4,000 old cars (1972 and older) weathered and deteriorating old American cars. It has more than 6.5 miles of trails on 34 acres. Located about 45 minutes north of Atlanta in White, Georgia, is a cross between a junkyard and an outdoor car museum.

Page 5 in the Series.

These series of pages represent, in my opinion, the ten most exotic, beautifully styled automobiles of the 1930’s era. The general theme or styling of each car in this series is representative of again, what I feel, as Art Deco styling.

Let me also make it clear that the title of this series “Curves of Steel” is not of my originality but rather, plagiarized from the official catalog produced for the April 2007 automotive exhibit at the Phoenix Museum of Art.

In April of 2007, The Phoenix Art Museum presented 22 streamlined American and European automobiles that demonstrated the intersection of style and aerodynamics in 20th century automotive design. The exhibition was widely celebrated in the media, from The New York Times to Architectural Digest to CBS Sunday Morning, and in virtually every leading automobile magazine.

“Coachbuilt Press" was honored to be selected by the Phoenix Art Museum to create Curves of Steel as the exhibition's premium catalog. The exhibition tracked the evolution of the streamlined shape from the 1930s to the 1990s. Edited and co-written by historian Jonathan A. Stein, Curves of Steel includes essays from many of the world's great automotive writers including Beverly Rae Kimes, Ken Gross, Phil Patton, Richard Adatto and Diana Meredith. Each car is presented with historic images and elegant, modern photographs by Michael Furman”.

The catalog was published as a Limited Edition standard hardbound book. Although now out of print since its museum edition sold out in 2007, this remarkable edition remains available, along with an array of superior quality limited edition prints through COACHBUILT PRESS.

Now to inject a bit of my off-beat humor, this “mini-series” does not contain any violence or sexual content with the exception of any commenter who might vehemently disagree with my selections and he or she might express themselves in a profane manner.............

Keep in mind, that I am looking at automotive styling that would typify Art Deco design. You may also feel that one or more of the cars contained in this series should not, in your opinion, be included. In such case, I would appreciate an explanation as to why your feel as such.

.............and in conclusion, I would appreciate viewer’s opinions as to whether I should continue to go through the effort of posting the additional “pages” or simply conclude the idea at this point.

Thank you.

Monowi, Nebraska, April 19, 2009. Facing north-northeast. State Highway 12 is in the foreground. The mass-produced plastic/vinyl sign on the side of the building says, "Home of the World Famous Monowi Tavern." This little bar was featured in 2006 in a report by Bill Geist on the CBS Sunday Morning "news." Click here to read CBS's online version of the story.

The tiny white building (aka shed) north of the bar (center-left of photo) is Monowi's 5,000-book public library. It is owned and operated by the same person that owns the bar.

Here are a few historical thumbnail shots of Monowi:

I never thought i would get a little teary eyed viewing Charles Osgood final broadcast on CBS Sunday Morning. It was a very fitting tribute to a man with many talents. Thank you Mr. Osgood for making my Sunday morning a good one for the past 22 years.

Popular news magazine and newspaper companies, like CBS Sunday Morning, the New York Times, the BBC and Georgia Public Television, have made press releases and/or video segments and transmitted it worldwide. Who knew that Old Car City USA, a place where junk cars go to live out the rest of their existence, would be such a fascinating stop.

Mayor of Old Car City USA, Dean Lewis, welcomes all who come out to visit his varied collection of automobile art with a little help from Mother Nature. You can come and just stroll along with winding paths for a nominal fee or, for a few dollars more, bring a camera and take pictures and/or videos and share them with friends. Among the many cars at Old Car City USA, there is the last car Elvis Presley ever bought back in 1977 just a couple months before he died. Also, a movie starring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash used one of the cars that now call this place "home." The honorary mayor of the "City," Dean Lewis, is also an artist in his own rite with some of the most unique canvas . . . the styrofoam cup. In his upstairs loft, Lewis has hundreds of styrofoam canvases featuring his artistic talents on display along with some paintings he will proudly show off.
