This automobile is considered to be one of the finest in the world.  The scene depicts the Cadillac in a stately position of honor.

This automotive art original painting is opaque watercolor (gouache). The title "The Featured Marque" is in reference to the elegant collector automobiles that are features at the various concours around the country. The post war Cadillac's were certainly among the worlds' elegant automobiles and were design trendsetters as well, not to mention great subjects for collector car art.

The painting showcases the first Coupe de Ville with its magnificent display of chrome. The 1949 Cadillac is still owned by a surprising number people. I find owners at various automobile venues around the country and Canada as well. The painting presents a simple, yet elegant statement of quality and a stately manner. Automobiles such as Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile presented the chrome adorned front ends as their signatures. I chose to paint the front view simply because it portrayed the automobile in its best light.
