Product Details

Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

Artist's Description

The Chevrolet Bel Air was manufactured from 1950 to 1981, but it was the 2nd generation Bel Airs of 1955-1957 that became cultural icons. This stylized airplane was used on the 1955 model.

Hood ornaments on automobiles began in the 1920s, when manufacturers used them to hide or decorate the exposed radiator caps that were required on early cars. As technology improved and the radiator moved under the hood the decorative ornaments, which had become automaker's distinct mascots, moved to the top of the hood. No longer needing to fit atop the small round platform, hood ornaments were able to become larger and more elaborate. By the 1970s and '80s hood ornaments began to join tailfins, and wood paneling as part of automotive history.

I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
