Re: {Chrysler 300} Monte Gillespie Framed 300 Sketches

I would assume that with a price of $400.00 for the set, these are not an investment vehicle. I would think that anyone buying them would do so out of an appreciation for their quality, and not for their possible resale value. I remember during a meet in Spenser, NC there were a number of prints of the Daytona race back in the ‘50s where the winner was not decided upon until the next day. Some of those prints were hand signed by Tim Flock and Lee Petty, the two drivers involved in that finish. While there are only a few of those, I doubt anyone bought them as investments. I know mine is sitting on a wall, along with a number of other Chrysler memorabilia.

I purchased a set four years ago as listed on the club server for $125, (so inflation is out of control). Look good on the shelf. Anyway, does anyone know how many sets were made? I guess the original drawings that Mr Gillespe made were copied and sold as sets to the club or worldwide, but really how rare and potentially valuable are these if 10's of 1000's of copies were made and sold?

Thanks,

Agreed Ron… that’s the right thing to do for sure. I’m sure he had a lot of hours in creating this set.

The courts have ruled that artwork, including photos, are automatically copyrighted upon creation. Plus, it’s the right thing to do to ask the estate for *written* permission to reproduce. Otherwise, the club exposes itself to legal action.

So Ron brought up a point which I can’t believe I overlooked- the club would need permission from his estate assuming these are copyright protected. Even if they aren’t we still should have permission.

But we could certainly ask….

You know having the club offer prints is a fabulous idea!

I remember when he did these originals (and I didn’t have the money to afford them) - I totally agree with John - it would be a shame to break a set of the originals…..but it would be a great idea (with the blessing of the Board) to make a set of master prints and offer them via the Club Store.

That way if you wanted a copy of the under appreciated L (I agree by the way) you could one or more!

I’m certain that newer members are not familiar with these - they are literally beautiful works of art - Monte really captured the reflective surfaces of each car incredibly well.

He was a lovely talented artist!

Josh,
If the set does get broken up i would love to have the 300L one right now! Those are really cool.
Please reach out to me if this happens or want to make a deal. I agree a set like that is really amazing, but I sadly don't own all of those years- would be something to dream about maybe... so having a complete set like that would be amazing but think of all of the different people that could make happy- like an organ donor for car sketches, LOL!

Im always l;ooking for 65 300L stuff- the often forgotten year for these...

no do not ever break the set : i have a set too . . Maybe high quality prints can be done as a club fund raiser ? But his originals are far mire valuable than this ask, imho especially a full set
Many newer club members may never have seen them ? Just spectacular how well drawn

So let me ask to understand, you are not selling them individually?
Thanks beforehand for reply.

Beautiful sketches by the way.

Hello,
For sale is a beautiful set of Chrysler 300 sketches by former club member Monte Gillespie. Each piece has been professionally matted and framed and is ready to display.
There is some haze present on the inside of the glass. The frames are sealed on the back, but the paper backing can be removed to allow the print and matting to be taken out so the inside of the glass can be cleaned if desired.
I am asking $400 for the set, but I am open to reasonable offers.
Buyer is responsible for shipping costs. I will ensure the artwork is carefully packed and fully insured to help protect the glass during transit.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Photos can be viewed here:

Thank you,
