This was a 1934 DeSoto Airflow I once owned - Can't get much more Arty Deco than that ...

The book I've had out for the past year or so, "Lee Lawrie's Prairie Deco: History in stone at the Nebraska State Capitol" was featured in an article in the Omaha World Herald recently.

You can see the article in PDF here. http://www.leelawrie.com/LeeLawrie.com/Pages/OWH/OWHpage1.html

You can google me and fine where all  you can buy the book.

Thanks, RP fans.
