Duke Edwards == Hot Rod Artist

I found the image below on eBay. The bidding has ended, but I”m sure it will return. I thought it looked very similar to Brian’s CJ-3B (or former CJ-3B — did you ever sell it?). After located a pic of the CJ-3B, I concluded it must have been used as the model of the drawing.

One image below is the drawing and one is a shot of the CJ-3B from the CJ-3B page (See more pics of it there — It’s a beauty!).

According to an old ebay listing, this particularly drawing is a run of 250 prints of a drawing by artist Duke Edwards.  I didn’t know who Duke Edwards was, so I did a google search and found the information below from the ‘Automotive Art Gallery‘.

“Duke has been “doodling” for almost 40 years but had limited his clientele to friends and local car clubs. Since making his work available to the public, he has received international recognition and has pieces on museum display as well as in private collections. For just “doodling” Duke is amazingly talented.”

    Does anyone have any more info on Mr. Edwards? I found one of his prints and I’m looking for more but can’t find much info on his work or where to contact him.

    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I have seven of Duke Edwards prints, which I proudly display in my living room. I purchased them over a few years at the Seaside Oregon car show. I don’t always go to that show since it falls on the same weekend as The End Of The World Run in Longbeach Washington, (parking sucks in Seaside, and entry fees are kind of high). I did however attend the Seaside show this year hoping to add to my collection of prints but was disappointed to not find him there.

    My boyfriend has a silver framed Duke Edwards print of a ’57 Ford Ranchero. Print 6 of 250. He’s not interested in keeping it. Would any of you be interested in it? To text me, my cell is 763-228-7354
