MOPAR strip
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the “Mopars At The Strip” event, automotive
artist David Snyder was commissioned for a new painting celebrating “The
Wildest Mopar Party In The West”.
Mopar Strip takes us on a nostalgic trip among the glitz and glamour of the icons
along the Las Vegas Boulevard in 1972. Some of the best Mopar Muscle will
cruise the strip this night.
Mopar Strip is reproduced from the original painting in an edition of 950 prints.
Each print is inspected, signed and numbered by David Snyder. The print image
measures 19.5” X 34” and is printed on premium quality acid free stock trimmed

art of the October 2005 Musclecar Enthusiast. Snyder’s cover features a classic
cruise night scene at the local garage where all the fast cars would hang out. The
cars shown are those he would like to have in his own garage, not necessarily
those on the list of ‘top 10 musclecars of all-time.’
Musclecar Enthusiast is a limited edition of only 950 prints. Each print measures
17.5” x 26”, and is printed on high quality acid free paper trimmed to 22” x 28”.
All prints are inspected, signed and numbered by the artist.

NOW PLAYING
Artist Dave Snyder and his wife, Marion, discovered the Silver Moon Drive-In on US
92 in Lakeland, Florida. For the next three days, they talked about this great icon
of the past. They visited Corvettes and Classics in Tarpon Springs, a great museum
of muscle cars and memorabilia. Mike Morehead, their tour guide and long-time
collector of Snyder’s prints, suggested a piece based on the movie Bullitt. Now
Playing is the result of that suggestion. Shown in the painting are 14 cars from 10
different films in which the car was the star player. Can you name the films?
Now Playing is a limited edition of only 950 prints plus 95 artist proofs. Each print
measures 16” x 34”, and is printed on high quality acid free paper trimmed to 22”
x 36”. All prints are inspected, signed and numbered by the artist.

FISH FOOD
Plymouth beat Ford in the Pony Car war by two weeks. The Barracuda was unveiled
on April 1, 1964. There were three generations of the Barracuda. The first generation
included the 1965 model through the end of the 1966 model year. It shared the
A-body platform with its first cousin, the Valiant. The second generation ran from
1967 through 1969. The Barracuda was still build on the A-body platform, but
received increasingly higher horsepower and engine displacements. In 1968, several
Hemi Barracuda Super Stocks were made. The best came in 1970. The “Cuda” was
born - the 1970 and ‘71 Hemi Cuda, the best of the best. Automotive artist Dave
Snyder pays tribute to these great MOPARS with his newest work.
Fish Food is a limited edition of only 950 prints plus 95 artist proofs. Each print
measures 18” x 26”, and is printed on high quality acid free paper trimmed to 22”
x 28”. All prints are inspected, signed and numbered by the artist.

FLAMES, SCALLOPS, PANELING & STRIPING BY GEORGE BARRIS
Welcome to Barris Custom Techniques, Volume 4, the fourth in this series of books
which utilize photographs from George Barris’ extensive personal archives to take
a behind-the-scenes look at how they built those fabulous
classic customs of the 1950’s.
This book is intended purely as a nostalgic pictorial
retrospective of how they “built’em back then” and
not as a practical how-to-guide for builders of today’s
customs.
Besides featuring plenty of rarely seen and significant
customs, this book contains several step-by-step paint jobs
showcasing the work of Dean Jeffries, who rented space at
the Barris shop.
Very little of the material contained herein has been
seen for forty years, and some of it has never been
previously published. Where possible, they have made new prints from the original
negatives. Also, where possible, they have tried to use shots of angles which have
never been published before.
Any way you look at it…if you like custom cars of the 40’s & 50’s, you’ll love this
book.

CHEVY SMALL-BLOCK V-8: 50 YEARS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE
Fifty years ago, Chevrolet introduced a new small-block
V-8 engine with a notably short stroke and an innovative
lightweight valvetrain. Dubbed “The Hot One,” the engine
was easily the highest revving V-8 then in production.
Now in its fourth generation and quickly approaching the
90-million-in-production mark, the Chevy Small-Block
V-8 still alive and kicking. Noted automotive writer Mike
Mueller celebrates the golden anniversary of the SmallBlock in this beautifully written and superbly illustrated
coffee-table book. He covers it all - how the engine that was easy on the wallet,
equally easy to tweak and full of power potential found its way into everything
from family sedans and pickups, to hot rods, motorboats and motorcycles. the
book is filled with period and modern photography, nuts-and-bolts specifications of
featured small-block V-8s and sidebars highlighting the key engineers, legendary
cars and the pop culture status the engine holds. [hardcover, 256 pages, 250 color,

marketing for automobiles. He told how he created and
defined the American musclecar image, devised savvy
brand marketing strategies to promote the car that
started it all and became a cultural icon - the Pontiac
GTO. The book was a winner, receiving the 1998 MOTO
Gold Award for Autobiographical Writing presented by
the International Automotive Media Conference.
