Century. by *ahundred

Artist commentary

I love my Volvo, but shouldn’t Ahundred be driving a Century? And what was the strangest Century ever made? Why, the 1959 Century. That was a strange year. The last year of real fins for G.M., and on this particular model the tail fins start at the windshield and there are fins on the front too. Soon after purchasing it Ahundred christened it “The Century of Pain.” Little does he know, the car is actually evil, and is actively trying to kill him. (Words of its previous owner: “This car is evil, and it will try to kill you.” Ahundred: “How much?” The reply: “I don’t care just get this machine as far away from me as you can.” Ahundred: “Hot deal!”) Of course, if he survives his first three months the car may take a liking to him, at which point he’s got real problems because then it will start trying to kill other people.

My head’s a little big, but the thing about cartoons is the smaller you draw them the bigger their heads get. And think I did a good job intersecting the end of my muzzle with the bar of the wing vent. Intersecting things is another thing illustrators tend to avoid, brings things together dimensionally, though.

Before you say anything, yes, I know I drew it as a right-hand-drive. It’s called an artistic liberty.

I really want to drive a car with a bubble windshield again. In America every car produced between 1955 and 1960 had one, then they decided they weren’t cool anymore and not a single car has been made with one since, with exception of the Imperial, (a defunct Chrysler Corporation marque,) which was produced with a bubble windshield right up until 1966.

One thing I noticed while drawing this car is how far back the front wheels are placed on modern cars, new cars have a very prominent front overhang compared to old cars.

    pose, vehicle
    Absolutely great picture. The story reminds me about another 50's car going homicidal cough Christine cough Stephen King cough. '59 was the best year for American cars, I here. I'm not American car enthusiastic, but still enjoy looking old cars.
