Car Craft Illustrations of yesteryear

I could write a huge entry about some of the stunning concept work done by guys like Harry Bradley, and I will... at some point, but I just came across these as I was finishing up a new series of sketches based on some famous Mercurys, and I thought they were worth sharing. I found these and others on Metaphors in Motion while searching for some technical drawings. I recognize a few of them from mags that I have in my monstrous collection of old mags inherited (and I say inherited, but it's actually more saved them from my mother's spring cleaning wrath) from my father. Others I've never seen. All are pretty cool in their own right.
