"Any Color So Long As It's Black"
“When creating a painting and deciding on the subject matter, I try to make a connection between the three main elements — the cars, the setting and the title. I have successfully completed a piece when all three work together. In this painting I chose big block Fords as the subject with a few specifics thrown in just for fun."- MICHAEL IRVINE
The Details
"Any Color So Long As It's Black" — Big Block Fords
Any customer can have a car painted any color he wants so long as it is black. - HENRY FORD
Whether Henry Ford actually said the words or not, they were the inspiration for this amazing piece.
Set against the factory representing the birthplace of revolutionized automotive production, this painting features five of Ford’s most impressive big blocks of the 60s. The Galaxie 427, Torino GT 428CJ, Fairlane 427, Boss 429 Mustang and Cougar GTE 427 were all available in black, with factory installed hood scoops.
