Wooden car art

Here is a 1933 Chevy coupe that an Amish gentleman made. His name is Robert Boop. A friend, Bob Caughie from Pennsylvania visited me and brought it. I thought that it is very detailed compared to a lot of wooden art out there. I keep it on my mantle.

Re: Wooden car art

That's a nice piece of craftsmanship for sure. I've seen some very well done examples of wooden car art lately. Surely they are worth including in any serious collection of automobilia. They have been around a long time though. I've got a few examples of them in my collection done as smokers desk sets. Here is one found a few years ago at Hershey.

Re: Wooden car art

I am an Origami Artist and am interested in paper and/or wooden models of classic cars (toy size or a bit larger). Can you tell me how much each of these models cost and where they might be purchased? Also what are the approximate lengths of the models?

Thanks -

The 1933 Chevrolet model is 8 3/4" long from bumper to bumper. It is 3 1/2" wide and is 3 3/4" tall. As earlier mentioned, it was purchased in Pennsylvania from some Amish carver (don't know exactly where).

Re: Wooden car art

Here is a full scale example of wooden auto art.

It was seen about 5 years ago at Canby, Oregon.

Brings back the true meaning of engine block.

It is a driver too.

Maybe it's been shown here at this forum before.
