Ocean Drive by Day, Miami Beach: Hand-Illustrated Classic Car Print

Ocean Drive has classic cars parked at the curb in front of the Art Deco hotels, and coming across one in the morning light is half the reason to walk the street early. This hand-illustrated print puts one of them front and center: a mint-green Buick with a full chrome grille, nosed up to the yellow curb, palms leaning over the sidewalk and pink café umbrellas behind it.

Printed as a genuine giclée with fade-resistant pigment inks on Crane's Lettra®, a 110 lb cover, 100% cotton paper in Fluorescent White. Available in 8x10 and 11x14, unframed and ready for your favorite frame.

The First Car We Found

We ran across this one on our first scouting trip to Ocean Drive, right after we landed. There are classic cars parked in front of the hotels along the drive, and this mint-green Buick was the one that stopped us.

As usual, you can find our family travelers tucked into this print, just like every Stopover scene.
About the Illustration
Classic cars are part of the scenery on Ocean Drive. Owners park them at the curb in front of the Art Deco hotels, where they sit against the pastel facades and catch the eye of everyone walking past. This one is a mint-green Buick, chrome grille and all, nosed up to the yellow curb.

The scene is drawn in the morning, before the drive fills up. The café umbrellas are open over empty tables, the sky is flat and bright, and the palms run north in a line toward the far end of the street. Two birds are hidden in this one: a common crane flying over the palms at the upper right, and a barn swallow perched on the corner of the café's wooden host stand, just to the left of the car's windshield.
Miami Beach Wall Art for Any Space
This print has a companion. Ocean Drive at Night, Miami Beach shows the same street once the neon comes on, and the two hang well together as a day and night pair. Both belong to the Hand-Illustrated Stopovers series, alongside Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Chicago, Seattle, New York and Santorini.

The palette here is bright: turquoise sky, mint green, hot pink umbrellas and a lot of chrome. It suits a kitchen, an office, a garage or a workshop, and it does not need a busy frame. Black or natural wood is plenty.
A Gift for Car Lovers and Miami Lovers

This art print lands well with two kinds of people: anyone who loves South Beach, and anyone who loves a classic American car. That makes it an easy call for Father's Day, a milestone birthday, a garage or workshop wall, or a friend who has been talking about a Miami trip for years.

Ships same day in protective packaging. Free shipping on all orders.
