Description
'56 Dodge Royal, as originally penned for Custom Rodder... I wanted to have that late-1950's/early 1960's show custom vibe, and capture the excess of modification for the sake of modification, yet still manage to inject some modern thought and design into the mix. The result was a wicked sectioning of the body, no chop on the roof, extended quarters, new canted quad headlamps, and a very Studebaker-inspired grille shell (as a nod to the Exner years at Dodge and studebaker, where he turned out some iconic work). Lots of stuff going on, and all covered in a decidedly soft, feminine color scheme, as another nod to Dodge's marketing campaigns from that era, aimed squarely at women.Illustrator artwork, starting with pencil studies... Enjoy!

i like it, but it would be nice to see the front end better. it's hidden.

Well this looks badass enough for meee!!! I have NEVER seen or thought of a grille like that! Looks very muscular for a car from the 50s. The hood really made me think it was some unique Pontiac!

who ARE you people? *shaking his head at several of the above posts* ... clearly READING the description is out of the question around here ..... trucks? lift kits? the front is "sticking out too much" ... what does that even mean?

i love your work always, i don't know much about car lingo but the gathering of ink blot brush strokes with the cars color scheme is, killer. the front end looks like its asking for trouble fom a innocent pedestrian. great job

Man you sure do know your stuff! I'm a huge Dodge/Mopar fan and this is right up my alley. Its good to see some of the not so known models everyonce in a while. You need to do more Dodge

thats cool man. i love looking at what ya draw.
i saw something that may give you an idea today:
i think it was a 1950 suburban that was raised up on huge tires and a lift kit, the running boards were 3 feet off the ground i think. it reminded me of a mini gravedigger. the body had been restored but was just sitting at white for color......a blank canvas.
