Lucinda Lewis Thunderbird Motel Roadside America Framed Print
This framed print by Lucinda Lewis is titled Thunderbird Motel and forms part of the Roadside America series, as printed along its lower edge. The composition is set at night beneath a glowing neon sign reading “Thunderbird Motel”, with the words “Clean Comfort” and “Queen Size Beds” and a “Pizza” sign also visible. A row of vintage-style cars in pink, white and red sits in the forecourt beneath a flat-roofed motel frontage, with a winged figure at the top of the sign. The piece is housed in a slim black frame with a glazed front.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The print is presented in a black frame and appears to be in good order, with no obvious damage noted at the time of cataloguing. Its subject draws on the car culture and machine age imagery associated with mid-twentieth century American roadside architecture, which continues to appeal to collectors of automobilia and graphic art. The combination of neon signage, period motor cars and a clearly defined series title makes it a practical choice for interiors with a retro or Americana theme.
