Ferndale Candy...Ramchargers 65 Dodge AWB FX

Limited-Edition Print of  500 (13x19) prints signed and numbered by the Artist.

If you haven't had the opportunity to read Dr. David Rockwell's book  "We were the Ramchargers," give yourself a treat and grab a copy fast, as it is one of the best Drag Racing books to date...

With that being said, there isn't much I need to say about this 65 Dodge from the Ferndale boys. This car is a true legend in the sport, and as we all know it was the first FXer to run in the 8s. 

I've wanted to paint this car for a long time, but it's difficult as a painter to illustrate a white car in an interesting manner, since white cars don't have many reflections: It wasn't until Dr. Rockwell sent me some photo reference that really inspired this painting...This is a scene from Capital Raceway in October 65, as Jim Thornton is here driving the car on 90% Nitro...

I think the warm Autumn colors contrast nicely with one of the "Most" recognizable paint schemes in Drag Racing...

I hope you enjoy my little piece of 'Ferndale Candy"...DCP 

Remember, this is a print of David's original airbrush painting.
