Beautiful original Chrysler piece was part of the Historical Art Print series produced by Chrysler Marketing in the early 1990\'s, and distributed to dealers through the Mopar Parts Division. Each lithograph was created from original signed hand-paintedairbrushedartwork, illustrated with gouache paint. Film positive negatives were used for the plates, and a varnish was applied over the printed areas. Artists featured were Kevin Yeszin, Paul LaMontagne, and Mike Maher. We obtained these lithographs direct from one of the artists.
Lithograph measures a large 11 X 14\", produced on heavy weight art paper. In perfect MINT condition, just the way it was made decades ago. This is a standard frame size, and this would look fabulous framed!
Dodge\'s one-year flirtation with downsizing ended for 1963, and its big models returned to the 119-inch wheelbase. Plymouth stuck with the 116-inch span, but both divisions cleaned up the styling. No sign of fickleness under the hood, however, where the devastating new 426-cid wedge awaited. Indeed, the 1963 Plymouth 426 Wedge was a mighty engine that could be found in a number of the automaker\'s muscle cars.
This was basically a bored 413, again called the Ram Charger at Dodge and the Super Stock at Plymouth. Dual Carter four-barrels and the upswept ram\'s-head exhaust headers were retained. But the 426 got a host of internal beef-ups to make 415 bhp on 11.0:1 compression or 425 bhp on 13.5:1. Stage III 425-bhp versions followed during the year with further modifications including larger-bore carbs, recast heads, and 12.5:1 compression.
This was serious ordnance, ill-suited for everyday use. Indeed, brochures warned that the 426 was \"not a street machine\" but was \"designed to be run in supervised, sanctioned drag-strip competition ... Yet, it is stock in every sense of the word.\"
Plymouth offered the 426 Wedge in all full-size models, from the sleeper Savoy to the luxury Sport Fury, and even made available a race-ready aluminum front-end package that trimmed 150 pounds. Artist: Kevin Yeszin.
