Buick Roadmaster, from J.T. Garvin's "Wildfire" Portfolio, 1969-70 fun mug and 4 5/8" in diameter

and 4 5/8" in diameter at base

Buick Roadmaster, from J.T. Garvin's "Wildfire" Portfolio, 1969-70 fun mug and 4 5/8" in diameterThis drawing came from a larger portfolio of some 50 drawings, all of cars, most initialed and dated 1969 or 70 on reverse, which with some piecing together I've figured out were done by a Jerry Thayer Garvin of Nottingham, NH all as the imagined holdings of a fictional "Wildfire Corporation" founded in 1898. Found in the portfolio was an elaborate set of notes detailing the makers and models of the cars held in this fictional Wildfire Collection,
