Description
The 1955 Morris Minor Woody was a favored import in the post war years in America. At least, until Volkswagen and Toyota began making inroads to the U.S. markets. My uncle drove one and bragged about the handling and the fuel efficiency so much that my dad decided to play a joke on him. Each night Dad would put some extra gas into the tank. My uncle kept raving about how his mileage was getting better and better. It was nearing sixty miles to the gallon! Then Dad began syphoning gas out each night. My uncle took the car into the dealer demanding that they get it back to the sixty miles per gallon that he had experienced before. The mechanics looked at him as if he were a mad man. Eventually, Dad told Uncle Jim what he was up to and they had a laugh over some beers.
One of a Kind
You can purchase a one of a kind, original print of this image directly from the artist by contacting me via email. The picture is signed and the mat has a hand drawn remarque in graphite. The paper and inks are archival and the printing is done under my direct supervision.
An original print is one on which I have personally supervised the process. It is printed on archival paper using archival inks. I hand sign the piece and draw a remarque on the mat that in some way reflects the original image. This small original drawing adds aesthetic interest as well as value to the print. In the case of “55 Morris Minor Woody” I might draw a wrench, a tire, a sparkplug or some other related object in graphite.
An original print is a higher value collector's piece because of the additional care and handling. It differs from the prints that are sold by Fine Art America by virtue of the quality of materials, the signature and the remarque. Its increased value to the collector is in its one of a kind status.
I frame the image using gallery molding - clean, square wood molding in either black, white, natural or walnut stain. It has a contemporary look that gives the piece a professional finish.
Shipping & Handling are based on zipcode. I can give you a specific price when I know the destination. The size of the image is 24x36. The mat and frame add to the size. The finished piece is approximately 30x40.
Additionally, prints of all of my photos can be purchased directly from me in various sizes that include a signature, a remarque and custom framing. Please contact me by email for details and pricing.
I also offer signed giclee prints that are more economically priced. These are available framed and matted, matted or unframed. Contact me by email for details and pricing.

Hilarious story, William! My first car was a Morris Minor convertible of that approximate vintage, purchased in 1957. Loads of fun, with its 37 HP engine, at least for short trips! Fell apart bit by bit in a few years... LF
