About this work

Wilfrid R. Addey drew a car in the 1940s. He used pencil and chalk to show the car’s curves and light. It’s a sporty style, facing left. Pencil and chalk together make the drawing stand out. The car looks sleek, like a Morgan from that time. Few people drove cars then—they used petrol coupons. Check out other drawings by Addey, Wilfrid R.
