New Dave Snyder Print

[maxwellwedge]

Mopar 'Nat's Best of Show winners over the years in one print. The black Daytona is cool but I'm kinda partial to the Lime 'Cuda...   

[devilgear]

It is cool, but it also looks like the lot has no parking lines.Like people are just leaving thier rides where ever they want...HA

[greenpigs]

Cluttered comes to mind

A '68 Charger has never won?

Jim does that have all of the previous winnners? Because I"m not coming up with 29 winners. Isn't this the 30th Mopar nationals this year? I could have sword I had been to 28 of them so far.

[Ghoste]

This year is the 30th but I can't recall now if there was a best of show awarded at the first one.

And what if the guy in the red '70 wants to leave?

[hemi68charger]

nice print............... Maybe there's a multiple winner? 

[resq302]

Hmm, looks like I see Dave Walden's white 70 chally there as well as his black cuda

[maxwellwedge]

Yes - Jack Stewarts (R.I.P. Jack) F8 70 Hemi-Cuda won twice.

I've quietly thought the same about every one of Synder's prints...

I'm sure he's done well financially with these prints, and they seem to be the subject in every Mopar magazine, but I just don't like them.

Ah, that would explain the big smiley in your original question.

Granted, I can't draw or paint, but I really don't like that print at all. I don't think I've ever seen one of his that I did like.

[Ghoste]

I can't either so I am in no way qualified to be a critic.  I absolutely CANNOT do what he does but I've always found his work to be a little cartoonish and out of perspective. 

[Red Ram]

The things that come to mind when I see these types of prints are:

(1) Those stuffed kids attached to grills of cars at car shows.
(2) Coca Cola advertising collections.
(3) Fuzzy rear view mirror dice.
(4) Hawaiian shirts.
(5) Older women with bleached hair and stretch pants.
(6) Stuffed cartoon animals in the driver seat of a car.

Maybe it's just me?

[Ghoste]

I have to fess up on number 4, I have several.

[moparstuart]

I am a multiple offender of 3,4 and 6

What...no 5s?!!!

I am innocent of all these offences....  and I'd never buy that print either.   Several cars are out of scale and it just looks crowded.  No thanks.

I was searching for words, but you sir, have nailed it.

I have thought about buying the print below for years, but somehow always walk by because it just doesn't look RIGHT.


Compare the above to the 1960 Lemans piece by Nick Watts, realizing that the subject might not be your cup of tea, look at the drama and realism that's been captured.


Nonetheless, Mr. Snyder has carved out a niche and there are a lot of folks who like what he has to offer.

dana forrester , a local corvette artist does a mopar once in awhile and he will only puts one maybe two cars tops in his work .  I really like his work and try to buy all his mopars and hang them in the lobby of my buisness
.  they are much less cluttered .

not only in the 8 track but up on the dash getting cooked to , I hate journey thats why those are out there to cook in the sun .  You know it is amazing how wild and ridical looking my car is and most of the  comments are about the 8 track player .

Fine. I'll be the first to admit it. I have bleached hair and wear spandex to every show....

[chargergirl]

Dang...bleach blonde...no spandex cause don't want everyone thinking there's a litter of Sharpeis in my pantaloons!

[Red Ram]

Wow a discussion on goofy prints turned into some type of intervention!

[gtx6970]

Cool,.
The blue 1970 Bee owed by Jack Stewart ( former John Grinwald car) was the 1st year I judged and it took best of show.
Goes to show you how far the show has come over the years. As at that time that car wouldn't even place today.
Although Jack essentially redid the car in a major way once he bought it, but I don't think he ever re-entered it for judging
