1947 Pontiac continued

There were enough parts to create a second face from this 1947 Pontiac. This one is available for adoption to a good home.
Close-up of the face.
Skeleton of the car sent to the scrapper for recycling.

Next project is our 1969 Chevy pickup. Red. Stay tuned.

1947 Pontiac

Rhett has transformed the hoods of many a vintage car into human faces that hang on the wall. A lady saw one in a client's home and inquired if Rhett would be interested in working his magic with her grandparent's 1947 Pontiac which was still sitting on the family farm out in Kansas. Her grandparents , every evening after dinner, had gone out to the car to sit inside where they could speak in their native tongue, German. "Yes, " was Rhett's answer. The car was towed to his studio where we then admired it for a couple of weeks and where Rhett could ponder how best to use the different parts of the car.
