Want to get to know somebody? Then start asking them about the cars in their past, present and future.

Eric Miltsch the IT/Web Director for AuctionDirectUSA.com has come up with a great idea for the users of Twitter, it’s called TweetandGreet.com.

He asks 10 easy “mini interview” questions about you and your automotive preferences. It is amazing what 10 simple questions can tell you about yourself and other people.

Being a car guy myself and into automotive art, I was happy to do it. Want to know more about me? Then take a look at my “mini interview”.

If you aren’t using Twitter yet, stop by there to see what the buzz is all about. Afterwards stop by TweetandGreet.com and fill out a “mini interview” yourself. Eric is looking for clever and witty responses, so have fun with it.

Don’t forget to drop back here and post a link to your mini interview so I can find out more about you too!

This is artwork I created of a 1949 Cadillac Series 62 two-door Club Coupe, also called a Sedanette. I started this piece at home, but ended up doing most of the vector line art while traveling on the road in California.

The Cadillac Sedanette is a beautiful car with a striking fastback body design. This fastback design is what inspired me and so naturally it became the focal point of the piece. Below are some various images to show you some of the detail.

Some interesting facts about the 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe is that about 7,515 were made and they sold for $2,966 each. Maximum speed was 100 mph and gas mileage around 12 to 20 miles per gallon. The Cadillac Motor Division was given Motor Trend’s first “Car of the Year” award in 1949. Another interesting item is that the gas filler on these cars are hidden under left tail light.

Due to the long low look of these cars, they make great subjects for customizing. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top used a 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe for his customized car called “CadZZilla”. You can see CadZZilla near the end of the “Double-Back” video below, from the movie “Back to the Future 3”.

Posters of the 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe artwork can be found on my main art site. See my other Cadillac artwork which includes “Fins – 1960 Cadillac“, “1958 Cadillac” and a “1959 Cadillac“.

Cadillacs of all models are great subjects for Automotive Artwork. What Cadillac year/model inspire you to do create artwork?
