Anyone have contact info for an artist who did color art based on Plymouth's Road runner ad? I think his name is Mike Kowski? An example of his work is shown below. Thanks in advance.

Dunno? Found some info over at LINKY Note some of the info appears to be from Hamtramck Historical, don't know if Barry could help or not, but doubtful as it appears several artists were involved.

Are you looking for something specific or to have something made? beer

Have something made, similar to the Duster print shown in my OP.

20 years ago his price was very reasonable. $35 per drawing. I still have my 440 Duster drawn by him, but unfortunately it wasn't signed or dated.

I'm not clear on your statement confused Are you referring to the pictured duster at New England or an original that was published ?

Both the Duster and my av picture. You'll notice the similarities.

When I was about 12 years old, the local newspaper had a running comic strip of a some time detective character name Mike Nomad (a partner with Steve Roper) who was always in some thrilling action. What I recall most about the strip, was Mike drove a 64 Dodge Dart (may have been a convertible), and also rode a Vincent Black Shadow. Don't recall that the strip ever described his bike as a Vincent, but even at 12 yrs old I knew it was a Vincent. I think his Dodge Dart was also built up like some sort of street-strip car. I recall too that many of the depictions of vehicles in traffic showed Mopar cars and trucks.
