NWVC&MM Fine Art Raffle

The drawing of the Fine Art Raffle took place on July 22 at the Northwest Vintage Car and Motorcycle Museum at Brooks. After much excitement and many late entries the lucky winner was Wendell Lux from Sheridan, Oregon. In a ceremony yesterday at the Museum’s Vintage Service station Wendell received his prize, a wonderful original painting by renowned artist, Will Storm of Ashland, Oregon. Wendell elected to have his immaculate1965 Corvette convertible depicted on the artwork in front of the Service Station. Below is an image of the painting.

The good news is that the raffle brought about $1,500 to the coffer of the Museum. It has already been well spent in completing the 16,000 square feet concrete slab in phase two of the museum project. Big thanks to all who contributed to this. We have decided to do another raffle next year and hope you will help again forwarding the museum project. Your luck may be better this time to assure you a wonderful picture of your own treasured vehicle.
