Fasten your seatbelt for a joyful trip to the 1940s with this lively Gil Elvgren pin-up lithograph, titled "Sport Model"! Published by Louis F. Dow Co., St. Paul and signed ELVGREN, this piece captures the confident glamour and humor that made Elvgren America’s pin-up favorite — all preserved in its original frame.
Beneath a bright blue sky, a smiling brunette relaxes in the plush red seat of a light blue convertible. Her sunny yellow dress, red belt, and matching scarf pop against the car’s interior. A yellow headscarf and red-strap heels complete the look — pure 1940s confidence and charm. Every detail radiates Elvgren’s love for motion, mischief, and modernity.
In good, original vintage condition with strong, unfaded colors. The signature and Louis F. Dow Co. imprint are visible. Housed in its original 10" × 8" wooden frame showing gentle scuffs and natural patina. The glass appears unremoved and uncleaned since the 1940s, with mild dust and faint smudges.
⚠️ Condition Note: Clear evidence of water damage is visible along the lower section of the print, affecting the blue background near the woman’s feet and lower car area. The staining remains visible through the glass. Please review all images carefully and reach out for additional photos if desired.
The rear paper backing shows typical aging and light corner wear. This lithograph has never been removed from its frame, retaining full historical authenticity.
A classic choice for admirers of Gil Elvgren and Louis F. Dow Co. Americana. Despite its imperfections, the originality and charm of this "Sport Model" piece make it an authentic conversation starter and a standout in any vintage art collection.
