Gangster Ponton: A drawing of my 1959 Mercedes 220S

Gangster Ponton


A drawing of my 1959 Mercedes 220S by Jimmy Clifton a local (Queensland, Australia) digital artist. Jimmy does commissions for a very reasonable cost. The driver is a good likeness of myself.

I had thought of customizing my ponton as a "gangster" car, but it has taken so long just to get it on the road again. At least I have a drawing.
