Most car art chases a colour, a badge or a moment. A laser-cut metal silhouette does something harder and more honest: it keeps only the side profile, and asks the 1982 to carry its whole character in a single edge.
The 1982 dates to 1982, and that year's proportions are exactly what the cut outline keeps — the roofline and the stance are period-correct, not stylised.
The 1982 pieces in our range are cut from sheet metal and delivered ready to mount, with the price stepping from $69.95 at 50 cm to $209.95 at 140 cm — a range that lets the same outline work above a desk or across a full wall.
A note on the 1982
For the 1982, the cut-metal format rewards patience. Start with one piece at the right size, live with it, then extend the wall as the outline earns more room.
Living with the piece
A 1982 outline is the rare wall art that never clashes. Give it the right size and the rest takes care of itself.
- 100 cm suits most living-room and bedroom walls.
- 120–140 cm suits garages and open-plan rooms.
- 50–80 cm suits a study, a shelf, or a paired grouping.
Keep the shape, drop the rest. That is the whole idea of a silhouette.
The 1982 in outline
A silhouette is the most honest way to keep a 1982: no colour, no livery, just the shape that makes it recognisable. The 1982 carries that shape into a cut-metal piece that reads correctly from across a room.
Pieces worth a look
The 1982 is the natural starting point, and it pairs with most of the range.
Start here
Because the 1982 silhouette carries no colour of its own, it sits comfortably in almost any room. Size it to the wall — 100 cm for a standard feature wall, 120–140 cm where the car should dominate.
The 1982 is worth getting one piece right before you add a second. A single well-sized outline reads better than a wall of hesitations.
A neutral wall is a gift. It lets the cut do the talking without competing colour.
Drawn from the 1980s, the 1982 already had the roofline and stance that a laser-cut silhouette is built to preserve.
A laser-cut 1982 keeps the exact side profile measured from the real car — no colour, no livery, just the line that makes it recognisable.
The 1982 is the specific car behind the 1982; the outline is taken from its production side profile, so the shape is the real one.
Cut the 1982 to its profile and you keep the part that matters. The 1982 becomes an outline that says the car without showing the car.
Recognition is the whole point. The outline is built so the car reads before the words do.
Read it from the doorway, not up close. The whole point is the gesture the line makes at a distance.
The shadow line is the second drawing. Where it falls tells you as much as the metal itself.
Colour is optional here. The outline carries the identity, so the wall behind it can stay exactly as it is.
