the choice selections from voiture-jaune.tumblr so far, James Dean scene from Hud, and Steve McQueen on the set of Great Escape before the bike jump

These two images are enduring.

I've read but can't recall the story with Dean Jefferies and the woman... maybe it was her car? Anyway, cool artists paint box, I've photographed all the pinstripers paint boxes that I've come across so far, and it's very interesting to me to see how each puts their name / logo on them with a bit of lettering and pinstripping

Great tribute website to recommend

This is the rare XK-SS Jaguar that (I didn't know) Von Dutch made a glove box door for, because the open box was always spilling it's contents, and Steve was fed up with that

http://irishrichhomage.blogspot.com/ is a bike builders other website about the influential people from his formative years... like Von Dutch, Ed Roth, Steve McQueen, Robert Williams, and others that all are very interesting write ups, even when I didn't know of the people he's talking about.
