Still More Pontiac Art - From The Source

Last week I linked to some gorgeous vintage Pontiac artwork. Now I've found the website of Art Fitzpatrick. He's the now-90-odd-year-old guy who created this evocative artform for Pontiac fifty years ago. Shown here is a 1965 Pontiac Safari station wagon in a piece Fitzpatrick called "Sailor's Delight". As a kid I loved leafing through National Geographic and Life and the Saturday Evening Post in hopes that there would be new Pontiac artwork. I remember every single one of these images and lots of them ended up taped on my bedroom wall. Fitzpatrick's backgrounds were all painted by his partner, former Disney animator Van Kaufman. More recently, Fitzpatrick was hired as a consultant on the Disney-Pixar hit "Cars".
