Bring custom-car cool to your stitching with this elegant 1950s lowered hot rod design, drawn with the unmistakable shape of a classic coupe. The low stance, bold front grille, round headlights, side vents and whitewall tyres give it the look of a properly finished vintage build rather than a generic car motif. It will especially appeal to hot rod fans, retro motoring enthusiasts and anyone sewing for a garage, workshop or classic car event.
The orange bodywork, shaded with black, peach, yellow, white, grey and touches of green, gives the design depth, while the spoked wheels, mirrors and ground shadow help it sit cleanly on the fabric. Because it is a dense, heavily stitched eight-colour design, it suits stable fabrics best, such as denim jackets, canvas tote bags, twill shirts, mechanics' overalls and sturdy cushions. It has enough detail to hold its character on the larger sizes, where the lowered profile and front-end styling can really be appreciated.
