Print? Original Painting? Artist Proof?

Continues to be one of the most frequently asked questions! Each ORIGINAL PAINTING is meticulously hand painted, executed in acrylic on board. Each "masterpiece of Dave's mind" represents between 200 and 300 hours of painting, historical research and fine tuning. No computer generated art or airbrushed art is a part of any painting. The ORIGINAL PAINTING is a one of a kind, another doesn't exist! A limited number of fine art PRINTS are then produced from the painting. Each print is individually inspected, signed and numbered. When an artist produces a limited edition print, an additional 10 percent is printed and is the artist's personal stock. (a limited edition size of 950 are numbered 1-950, the artist proof edition is numbered AP1-AP95) Those prints are inspected, signed and numbered also. The ARTIST PROOF is worth more on the open market because of the small edition size. Some collectors purchase only the ARTIST PROOF, while others prefer the regular edition. However, only ONE can own the ORIGINAL.

Bill Knafel was an institution in Akron, Ohio. Knafel Pontiac showed its civic pride as a sponsor of local baseball, softball and bowling teams.

The first "Tin Indian" was a 1962 Catalina. His reputation grew as he won races. Bill Knafel Racing won more National and World Championships than any other Stock Class team.

"Tasca Cobra Jets"
Bob Tasca Sr. started racing in 1962 with a lightweight 390 Galaxie. Since then this East Providence Rhode Island dealership has been a fixture on the quarter mile stage.

"575 West Pike"
Little remains of Yenko Chevrolet except the "super cars" Don Yenko produced. Yenko's high performance cars are some of the most collected cars on the planet. The image everyone conjures up when they hear Yenko Chevrolet is the one photograph with Don Yenko standing in front of the dealership founded by his father. The muscle car action may have ceased, but the building still stands and the fervor for Yenko is as powerful as the cars he built.
Artist David Snyder made another pilgrimage to Canonsburg to do urban archeology; sketching and studying the Yenko site. Today it is a mower/motorcycle shop, but enough remains for Snyder to envision what it must have looked like in its hayday. That visit, combined with SnyderŐs conversations and recollections with many former employees helped bring to< life the new painting "575 West Pike" with historical accuracy.
"575 West Pike" is the latest in the series of Supercar dealerships from the brush of David Snyder. The painting has been reproduced as a limited edition of only 950 prints plus 95 artist proofs.

Fast With Class
Thought of as the "Doctor's Car" for years and only one step below a Cadillac, Buick became the most luxurious muscle car made.

Horsepower was up to 340 in 1966 with a new engine casting, out classing almost all of the competition in the market...and with all the Buick's creature comforts. By 1970, Buick produce one of the wildest muscle cars of the era, the "Stage One" with the 455 cu. in. 360 h.p. engine produced an astounding 455 foot pounds of tire melting torque. Buick then painted 678 Gran Sports Apollo White or Saturn Yellow, blacked out the hood, added red pinstripes and called it the GSX. One fast car with Buick class.
