Robert Seabeck (Wyoming, B. 1945) "1957 Bel Air" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 60c 1957 Bel Air stamp issued September 1, 1998. The 1950s were a time of rock 'n' roll music, drive-in movies, and fries and a malt with the gang at the local burger palace. The automobile that most symbolizes this carefree era for many people is the 1957 Bel Air Sports Coupe. With its prominent fins, deeply-hooded headlights, twin windsplits on the hood and wide-mouthed grille, the '57 Bel Air Sports Coupe was an automobile fancier's dream come true. A brilliant gold "V" on the front of this sleek vehicle proclaimed to the world that its owner had a powerful V-8 engine under the hood. The Super Turbo-Fire 283-cubic-inch V-8 produced an incredible one horsepower per cubic inch. A popular Chevy ad bragged, "Curves don't come too sharp or hills too steep for this nimble new Chevy. The road isn't made that can make it breathe hard." Image Size: 7.5 x 13.75 in. Overall Size: 15 x 22.25 in. Unframed. (B15992) See More
