Sad, what a legend! Spoke with him a few times at shows, what a nice guy. I went out to my garage and said a prayer for him looking at a photo taken in 1957 of his shop that he signed for me in 2005. He was "only" 77, isn't that wild!

RIP Mr. Winfield and thank you for all the amazing art you gave us.

Sad to find that out this morning. I first "officially" met him at Pleasanton in 1989 when I was on my road trip in the 48 to Bonneville and Pleasanton and back home up I 5 and 97.

I got to visit with him at Pleasanton for maybe 20 minutes before anyone else came along that day. I might actually have met him in 1962 when we stopped at a little shop out in the desert and they put my dad's 57 Olds J-2 on the hoist to check out a noise They tried to trade my dad out of the Tri power setup on his Olds but I wasn't having any of that. I never asked him about it though and up to the past four or five years his memory for anything car was sharp.

This shot was taken at a metal working class that he did in Post Falls Idaho in 2013. Two well spent days that I learned a lot at.
