Hey, if you're looking for something that says speed and style, something that will make a lasting impression, something that will bring a smile to your face . . . and the guy or gal your gift will go to -- then look no further! 

Mike Boyd and Winged Express make a pass at the Hot Rod Reunion. It's yours for $70.

Peter Aylett is British, and he spent 25 years of his life in Europe and the USA designing automobiles with Ford, Lotus, Mercedes, GM, Nissan and Mazda. In his final years, he wound up in Southern California at GM's Advanced Concepts Center in Newbury Park, Nissan Design International in San Diego, and Mazda Research & Development in Irvine. Peter was personally involved in the design of several memorable cars, but most emphatically he had a lot of influence on the Corvette Sting Ray III (making it a convertible instead of a coupe, using exposed headlamps design instead of pop-ups, and adding things like fender vents, the unique ring tail-lamps and the pop-up roll bar).

Taken directly from the website, here's a sample of the biographies that are available -- because some of us want to know something about the men who paint these images: "One of today's foremost automotive fine artists, Ken Eberts' artwork has been featured at the world's most prestigious automotive events. Ken was a Founder of the Automotive Fine Arts Society, and has been its President since its inception. The AFAS Exhibition is a featured part of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance each August. Through his artwork he tries to communicate the history, excitement, aesthetics, nostalgia, and his love of automobiles, in a way that can be understood and appreciated by both automotive and art enthusiasts.

A graduate of New York's High School of Music and Art and Los Angeles' Art Center College of Design, Eberts began his career as an automobile designer for Ford Motor Company. In 1968 he turned his attention toward automotive fine art and has been a full-time automotive fine artist ever since.
