Sunday, we decided to eat early our lunch sandwich at the Stormville Rest Area on I-84W for a day trip to Hudson, NY. It was also an opportunity to sketch other motorists taking a break, like this family of four next to our picnic table. Moments later, a classic car pulled in into a parking spot in front of us. I had to sketch it! I did it in a hurry and took some pics. I also met the owner, Allan, who asked to see my sketch of his car - a 1954 Lincoln Capri Special Custom Coupe. He saw me sketching it. I would have stayed a little bit more in our conversation but my partner was already in a hurry to explore Hudson, NY. Such an interesting start to this day!
Your timing was great! Nice sketch of the classic car. I can't believe he has a paper with info about it in the window.
ReplyDeleteYes, we got lucky. Allan was actually going to a car show. He likes to show his car not for the awards competition but for others to see. Several awards/plaques he won before were displayed on the back dash so the info paper on the window must have been done for the car show he was heading to.
