I'm having trouble finding some classic automobile vectors for a customer who wants one color die cut versions of his personal cars on his car hauler along with a checkered flag stripe. I thought it sounded like an easy job but now I am wishing I had sold him the wrap and cropped out actual pics of his cars on a checkered background...argh
I have mega vector art and have found a nomad that will work but that only takes care of one of 6 models I need.
I need to find:
67 El Camino ss
56 T-bird
56 Nomad
57 Chevy two door coupe
30 Ford 5 window coupe
39 or 40 Ford coupe standard
Is there anyone who can lead me in the right direction???:thumb:

Express Clipart has 96 images classified as Classic Cars (http://expressclipart.com/store/index_cat.php?osCsid=&cPath=165_204) and another 155 that are classified as Hotrod, Race and Specialty (http://expressclipart.com/store/index_cat.php?osCsid=&cPath=165_204). I don't think you'll find everything you're looking for but I think you will find some.

You could take some pictures and make some bezier outlines fast enough if you had to.... is the guy willing to pay for your time or just looking for flea market window decals?

Thanks guys!
This customer is very picky and will pay to get what he wants - anything close to what I need is not close enough - these must be the actual model and style of car.
I will check with vector Doctor but is there anyone else who may be willing to take the time to create vector cut-able versions from actual pictures of his cars? I figured if I scanned and traced that there will be major editing to get these cut ready and I simply don't have time right now.

here's one template/cartoon style vector from photo. this one was for myself but I'd like to do more of these. I usually print out the picture and sketch over it to customize it and pick out the shapes.
