As John and I looked at the ad and were discussing Rupps designs it all of a sudden struck us that we might be looking at a hand drawing of the karts and not a actual photo copy of the karts.
At first glance you don't really notice it but the wheels where the hub caps go appear thicker then normal and the motor on the single engine kart looks alittle bit out of proportion also. The art work on the helmet, trophy and gloves plus the dart logo is hand drawn for sure but what about the karts ? The Chilton tank looks spot on.
Whoever or however this ad was made did a super job on one of the classics from the early days. Take a good hard look, what do you think?
