    Can anyone give me a ballpark figure to ask for these original drawings? I have four - I'm just showing the one on top.

    I think those would be desirable ,decoratively speaking,how big are they ? I could see the hipster and the Chevy collector market liking these.

    Just wondering if this might be the McCarthy’s Motor Sales in Oxford that advertised in the Oxford High School Ravelins Yearbooks, 1933-1947:

    McCarthy’s Motor Sales, Chevrolet Sales & Service, Oxford, MA. Towing service, general repairing; day phone 189-2, night phone 136-3, C. McCarthy phone 16-2.

    http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Oxford_High_School_Ravelins_Yearbook/1933/Page_67.html

    If so, maybe someone with genealogy software could track down the owner's family - perhaps they might be interested?

    HA! :)
    I thank you!
    And both are quite rare actually...
    1 of 1 and only 5,470 of the other and virtually all of those '68 Chevy II Nova SSs became drag cars and so....

    I'd like to find a piece of the wallpaper in Paris that inspired the logo!
    Surely there is some buried somewhere under 8,001 other layers. :p
