Need to replace that picture of the dogs playing poker? Hooniverse is here to help.
Art appreciation is mostly subjective. One man’s shabby chic reclaimed porcelain front yard flower pot, is another man’s urban blight discarded toilet with weeds. And while most car nuts appreciate the artistry of of the masters- Giugiaro, Pininfarina, Lowey, etc, when it comes to transcribing the visual interest of the motor vehicle to that of immobile objet d’ art, we typically don’t see the point. That’s kind of where I am with this piece of art- a hood from a 1935 Chevy, for which the dealer is asking $890. I think I’d rather have it attached to the car- and have that car in my garage, than have it detached and lain bare for the scrutiny of all to divine the artist’s intent, and to make vapid claims about how it presents a powerful statement.
That being said, I wonder if $890 is too much for a straight and reasonably rust-free hood for a ’35, should you need one to complete a restoration?
Thanks to lilwillie for the art lesson, and to his brother for getting us the price.
