Taildragger
 |
“Taildragger” is an early custom car, smooth and kind of sinister, shown motoring on a dusty road, nose up and tail down.
Customs were a uniquely American art form. From about 1940 to the late 50’s, talented metal workers changed production automobiles to sleek visions. Everything was smoothed down. The top was chopped, some in the front and usually more in the rear. Door handles, name plates, all kinds of chrome trim were removed and the holes filled. All body seems were filled and smoothed, rear fenders skirted, and the whole car lowered.
The result was the custom - sleek, smooth, solid, kind of sinister. With the nose up and tail down, they gave a kind of a fast motorboat effect.
“TailDragger” is an investment cast bronze sculpture of an early custom - a 1940 Ford Coupe with a chopped top, skirted rear fenders, and a LaSalle Grille, shown motoring on a dusty road. “TailDragger” was created as the participants award for the Custom class at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
