Something new from Michael Irvine Studios


Recommended Posts

I just visited his site to see what new prints we had and saw this!

Thought I'd post this up for anyone who might be interested.

Very cool. I wonder if number 49 is available, that is my car number.

I have his "Flashback on the Track" Numbered to match the last 3 digits of my VIN.

 

 

 

Nice work, except the 10 spokes on the 68. And I don't think that if I had all those wonderful rides that I would put them out in the forest and snow!

Nooo....

More like wrong-y, wrong-y. The '68 cars came standard with a 5 spoke style wheel cover, with a 10 spoke wheel option. The wheels are similar in design to the '67 10 spoke wheel, but not the same. The '68 wheel has a hub face that is 1/8" thicker to clear the different brake caliper used in '68. (Source: Shelby American World Registry 1997, page 813)

In '67 the standard steel wheel equipped cars had a T-Bird sourced wheel cover, with the Kelsey-Hayes Mag Stars as an option, as were the 10 spokes.(Source: Shelby American World Registry 1997, page 613)

 

This link to a copy of the original 1968 Shelby GT sales brochure might help clear things up...

I have his "Any Color so long as it's black" framed and in my office. I like his work, but some of it can look a bit cheesy and overdone. His more simple work is best imo. That one is nice for sure- thanks for sharing that link!
