Default B-day Present Idea

I've been trying to think of something to make for each of my brothers as a birthday present. Since they have all had cars that were a big part of their past I figured I would try and do something with that and decided to make up posters and frame one for each of them.

Unfortunately, we don't have many photos of those cars so I'm just trying to work with what I can find on the web etc. My apologies if I took a photo that is of someones own car from the forums - if so, please let me know and I'll be glad to find something else to use. These are just personal gifts for my family and not a profit item.

All are a work in progress at this point, but I think it could be a neat gift idea

My oldest brother had a black '59 Mercury Park Lane which was mint and he really loved that car so his is based on that:



My second oldest brother has had a wide variety of cool cars, but his favorite was his '68 427 Vette. Silver on Silver 4spd car:



Still working on the rough concepts for the other two and of course I'll have to make one up for myself

Thanks for looking,
Adam

Thanks dbeall Think it might be best to keep them for my brothers lol

My third oldest brother had a Ontario Orange '72 454 4spd car so his is based on that:



I'm not sure what to do for my 4th brother. Need to get some spy info from his wife I think.

Wish they did! They had these cars back in the mid 70's and earlier.
