Description
My memories go way back, I can recall bits and pieces of being a baby, toddler and pre-schooler.
My parents bought a 1955 Studebaker Commander in 1955. When I came along they bought a 1959 Buick, because the Studebaker really wasn't a family car - it was a sports car. Dad hung onto it until 1961, then used it as part of a downpayment on the house I grew up in. (Which has been sold and the closing is on September 26th.)
One memory stands out. I couldn't have been more than three. I recall an old beat-up garage, an alley, and across the alley was a white house where a woman lived with her son. Dad was always doing something to the Studebaker - this memory was of me standing next to him, watching him use a tool to buff or sand or whatever he was doing. The other day one of my older sisters told me he was fiberglassing. He didn't make me leave and I recall being fascinated.
There are other memories I'd love to bring to life, and I'm starting with this one. I used a slightly older version of the car, but it did look like this.

I owned a Studebaker this same color while living in Las Gatos. it gave out on me while driving to apply at the Ford Assembly Factory.
excellent memory and depiction
I create 3D vintage cars, trucks and trains because when I was young, a long time ago, I was fond of all mechanical engines. And I am happy if some of my models are used by artists whose "memories go way back"! Very beautiful render!
Thank you! This started my fascination with antique and classic cars. I'm working on tracking down something that resembles the 38 Chevy coupe, but the doors must open and so far no luck. The 36 over at Daz is not a coupe, but might work with the right camera angle. Dad's Studebaker wasn't a coupe, either, but the right camera angle solved that problem. My own car was the base model for a Super Bee, so I might have some luck tracking that down. Honestly, as long as I use the right angle, any of your Dodge muscle cars might enable me to pull it off.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and your own contribution to my artwork!
