Graffiti, Propaganda & Other WRITINGS ON THE WALL Project
40 years from now, will today's Camaro and Challenger inspire the same kind of loyalty and love that these two cars and their muscle car contemporaries enjoy today?
Come to think of it, 40 years from now, will it even be legal (or financially possible) for the average person to own a car that isn't a 4-cylinder hybrid or an electric, assuming they get the range and charge-time issues worked out?
Before you start laughing, consider this: in less than 4 years after these two cars rolled off the assembly line, the 426 Hemi and the Barracuda and Challenger convertibles (and later, the coupes, too) would be extinct. The Mustang would be based on a Pinto chassis and not even have a V8 as an option. The Plymouth Road Runner, which snapped thousands of necks back with 383's, 440's and Hemi's under the hood, would have a 318 V8 as standard equipment. Top Corvette horsepower (with a 454ci engine!) would drop to what it had been in 1957 with a 283 (and would drop still lower as the decade wore on). And battering-ram 5 mph bumpers, lap/shoulder belts, seatbelt interlocks (where you couldn't start your car unless you buckled your seatbelt) and the 55mph speed limit would be the law of the land.
Subsequent legislation would make Shaker hoods, like the one on the 'Cuda, illegal on production automobiles.
Today, just try to build one of these cars now without catalytic converters, ECM's, high-mounted center stoplights, tire-pressure sensors, ABS (for those who never learned how to pump brakes in wet or icy weather), and iPod Sync. Without power windows, power door locks and every other useless power gadget known to man. And God forbid we should drive unprotected, without exploding balloons ready to pop out of every car interior orifice, all to protect morons who refuse to buckle up.
This long, slow slide to a world where the government and its laws engineer cars happened during administrations Democrat and GOP. (CAFE, 5mph bumpers, the seatbelt interlock, combination lap/shoulder belts and the 55 speed limit came straight from the GOP Nixon era.)
It happened because the fat, lazy, sloppy silent majority wanted to be able to eat, drink hot coffee (and spill it in their laps), chug a beer or two, do makeup, text and read newspapers on their tables, all while driving, and walk away completely uninjured after the inevitable rollover or 60 mph encounter with a bridge abutment. They wanted to be able to buy top-heavy 4WD SUV's, and make the same kinds of quick maneuvers that they did in the Vista-Cruiser... without tipping over. Good luck with that.
A COPO order to yank all that shit out on the assembly line and build a 2015 Camaro with an ass-kicking big-block V8, a limited slip differential, wind-up windows, a full-size spare tire and not much else? Surely you jest. But we can dream of that simpler time, and dream I shall.
"She was.. smitten.."
So, this is the first casting of 'Smitten'.. She is my interpretation of the power that words and language can have on human beings. As she reads, she is oblivious to the world around her, the passage of time, or her own reality..
Words have the ability to transport us, to suspend reality, and even to change us in a way that few other things can - and all without lifting a finger. We look at those little marks on a page, be it in a book or on a tablet or our phone, and our minds perform one of the true miracles of mankind.
She was cast from an original bee's wax carving, using the 5,000 year old 'lost wax' bronze casting technique by the Stevens Art Foundry in Bulverde, Texas. And she has been a HUGE learning tool for me, even though she is less than 6" tall, bless her tiny heart.
I can't say where this journey will end, but I can say I have taken a step on an unpaved path that is far less traveled than the one I have been accustomed to.. A path that seems to be limited only by my imagination, and by my time left on this earth.

The OSI-Ford 20 M TS is a coupe produced by the Italian car manufacturer Officine Stampaggi Industriali (abbreviated OSI).
Sergio Sartorelli, who also designed the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34, was responsible for the design in 1965. The vehicle was technically based on the Ford 20M and was manufactured between 1967 and 1968. There were 870 cars with two-liter V6 engine and 409 with 2.3-liter V6 at prices of 14,900 DM and 15,200 DM admitted in Germany. In 1968 OSI went into bankruptcy. It appeared at the 1967 Paris Salon a convertible version of the OSI Ford, which remained a unique piece. A small series was planned, but never released. The Convertible rode on a shorter wheelbase than the Coupe.
Since 1987, the OSI Owners Association in Germany with reproductions and annual meetings cares about the legacy of OSI. From once about 2200, other sources speak of 3500 copies only about 200 of the OSI-Ford 20 M TS exist today.

This car was insane! Polished aluminum on the sides and blue carbon fiber as the main color! That's right, BLUE carbon fiber....
