Robert Seabeck (Wyoming, B. 1945) "1931 Sport Roadster" 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 1931 Sport Roadster stamp issued September 1, 1998. Despite the Great Depression, motor cars flourished during the 1930s. Although jobs were few and far between, for those with even a moderate income a mere $475 could purchase the 1931 Chevrolet Sport Roadster -- the lowest price in the company's history! This incredible automobile's six-cylinder engine generated 50 horsepower. With the rumble seat open, the Sport Roadster seated four. Additional features included an attractive three-spoke steering wheel made of hard rubber, hood louvers, wire wheels, four-wheel mechanical brakes, vibration damper and a more durable clutch. DeLuxe models were furnished with a stylish chrome-plated wire mesh radiator guard. Sales were steady, with Chevy pulling ahead of Ford for the first time in history. Image Size: 7.75 x 18.25 in.
