Sculptor, designer, and painter Stanley Wanlass is known for his limited-edition automotive bronze sculptures that echo a deep love for automobiles, which he has collected, restored, and raced since the mid-fifties—from early Alfas and Bugattis to Brooklands race cars, Indy cars, Ferraris, and '32 Ford roadsters. His automotive sculptures and paintings are represented in the most prestigious museums and private collections worldwide.

Titled “Freewheelin,’” this bronze on walnut base is number 29 of 30 released in 1984 and was acquired by noted automotive enthusiast, the late Gordon Apker, directly from Mr. Wanlass. Cherished within his collection for more than 40 years, it depicts a shapely Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B traveling at speed, as conveyed by the billowing hair and scarf of the driver, as well as the fur of her four-legged companion in the passenger seat. It measures 40 inches by 15 inches and includes a certificate of authenticity dated 14 August 1984.
