This beautiful lady driver is Marie Reilly Pepitone, in her first car, a 1920 Ford Model T Runabout, that she used to drive around New Jersey. I was sent these pics by Joe Pepitone, AKA JoepeP, former art director of Archie Comics and who’s automotive illustrations have appeared in Hemmings Classic Car and Garage Style Magazine. In his 20 years with Archie Comics, he designed and produced everything from iPad, iPhone comic apps to graphic novels and the comic books lots of kids grew up with and loved. Joe now runs Autocom, an agency that produces comics and games. He loves to illustrate automotive themes in a retro style with bright colours. He tells me he was inspired by Marie and his grandad Elmer on his mom's side who worked for Mack Truck in New Brunswick NJ.
