Our poster for 2018 was brought to you by the talented students of the National Arts Honor Society of Northport Public School, under the guidance of Ms Jenny Evans, our Art Teacher Extraordinaire.
Our 2017 poster featured original artwork by Claire Brown. She was the winner of a contest open to Northport Public School students challenging them to create an original piece of art that inserted classic cars into a well-known piece of art. The original artwork was then incorporated into a poster by McGuire Irvine who has done all of our design work and graphics for Northport Cars in the Park.

McGuire Irvine is the grandson of founder George Irvine and has been doing the graphic arts for the dash plaques and top ten awards for Cars in the Park for several years. He started by taking drawings rendered by Darin Irvine and re-working them into digital versions appropriate for printing, making early use of his artistic and graphic arts talents. He has provided all of the graphic arts work for the car show 2015-2018, continuing to work with his father to create the posters, mailers and advertisements. He is an exceptionally talented young man, and we feel most fortunate that he continues to volunteer his time and talent to the car show!

After Bob graduated from art school in Detroit, he became an Industrial Designer, which was the focus of his studies. He spent a few years applying his talents in different fields; automotive, home products, and professional equipment being a few of those fields where Bob left his mark. Following those experiences, the field of Exhibit Design opened to him. Here was an opportunity to design projects that would explain products or processes in an attractive and illuminating environment. This was a demanding profession with high standards and short deadlines. And then, after twenty five years the frenetic career in Exhibit Design came to an end. Bob moved to Northern Michigan where he became involved in the Residential Construction Industry. Here he applied his design talents to Residential Building where he continues in that field currently. Beside all of these serious endeavors Bob always has time for some levity. He creates cartoons and elaborate greeting cards celebrating various events which have been appreciated by family and friends. Bob has created for us an adaptation of the famous Seurat painting to celebrate the 18th Annual Northport Cars in the Park and an adaptation of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks for the 19th Annual Northport Cars in the Park.
