XK120 FHC Fine Art Prints

[David Townsend]

Not sure why I didn't post this earlier—the artwork has been done for a month—but here's the cutaway of the XK120 coupe.

This example is shown with a Sage exterior and tan trim and sports a few "extras" including painted wire wheels, Enot's fuel cap, spot lamp, overdrive, wood rimmed steering wheel and XK style racing seats. The standard print comes with steel wheels, no fender skirts, stock steering wheel, and no overdrive. The XK120 fine art print is available in your choice of factory exterior and interior trim colors with a selection of available factory and period accessories with which you can customize your illustration.

Prints are available in two sizes 12"x24" or 18" x 36". Each illustration is printed on acid free archival quality paper, is numbered and signed, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

hi,
do you know about a famous automotive illustrator named Don Caton from Detroit?

I have a set of 3 prints of the 1930's Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg signed and numbered by him. They are mid-1960's, originally given to the VP of Industrial Relations at AVCO Aerostructures in Nashville Tennessee. He got them as a farewell gift when he retired, when he died, his family sold them to me. They are large framed prints, 24" wide by 18" tall, painted in watercolors. All three are numbered "15", so I assume it is Set No. 15. They are also signed twice, once in pencil.

Yes, I do know Don Caton's work. Very much in the same vein as the illustrated advertising from the 50s and 60s. While not in the same league, my work is more reminiscent of illustrator David Kimble.

thanks, nobody else seems to know who Don Caton is.

I think his relative lack of recognition as an automotive artist to do with the breadth of his work, he illustrated a wide range of subject matter, not just cars. Great work nonetheless.
