From my first glimpse of the automotive art of this pair, not knowing at the time who they were or anything about them, I loved the art. After years of hoping for a comprehensive book on their artwork, finally, here it is. If you like, or love, automotive advertising art, this book is a must for you, as it was for me.
It’s expensive, but worth it. You can purchase it here: (U.S. only)

Cool.
Jonesing for a new classic auto, are you?
Nah, but I’ve loved this artwork, especially for Pontiac since the Sixties.
