Default Handsome 'VICTORIAN LADY PROFILE"

I am looking to airbrush the profile of a Handsome Victorian Lady's face on two magnetic panels so I can use them on the doors of my "Miss Tillie" in Parades, Car Shows and such.

I'd like a profile view with the lady wearing a fancy hat or something fancy in her hair. She will then be perceived as "Miss Tillie". This can be a photo or illustration.

I figured Fordbarners would be the best source. Would appreciate any views that I could look at for my reference photo/illustration.

Do a search for victorian lady profile on Google Images. I think you may find some that are what you are looking for.

Vintage COCA COLA ads should have the "face" you're looking for.

I printed this out and showed it to my wife and her response was, "when did you put that on the Model A?" "I hope you're not going to leave it there, that magnetic stuff might scratch the paint."

Instead of the square or rectangular stick-on sign look, I'm planning to paint the background of the magnetic material the same color as the car, then do the artwork, so it will look as though it's painted right on the door.

Google Victorian Hats and click on images.

Just a thought, instead of painting background, use an exacto knife and cut out the image.

Actually i plan to cut the shape out, but it will also be lettered, so it will be more than just a face.

Of course that lady was most likely oblivious to the coming advent of the automobile.
