Back to Happy American Grease Days!

	Welcome to the Wonderful (and slightly Wacky) World of CARSoft!

	Cruisin' Clip Art contains 62 (where were you?) .PCX line art illustrations of  cars, stars and nostalgia from the 1950s and early 1960s.  They're great for notes, newsletters, posters, calendars, checks, labels, envelopes and all sorts of other purposes.  Most of the illustrations are in black and white but we included a few in color to show you the possibilities of what you can do on your own computer.

SHAREWARE -
	This collection is SHAREWARE which means that you can 'try before you buy'.  Please use the illustrations for no more than three weeks before you make a decision to either become a registered owner  or remove the art from your computer.  

WHY REGISTER?
	1).  To become a Registered Owner and have the legal right to use this artwork.

Please add $4.00 extra shipping and handling outside the U.S. and Canada.  If you have questions, you may call us at (802) 773-3526.

THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK -
	The Handbook contains thumbnails of the illustrations along with notes and details on each one;  how to 'paint' and modify the illustrations (you can chop, channel, lower and custom 'paint' most of the car illustrations); how to put various CARSoft artwork together to create 'scenes'; using the artwork in word processing and desktop publishing applications; suggestions and ideas for using the artwork.

CLIP ART -
	Yes, our artwork is 'clip art', meant to be added to publications (usually in small sizes), but it's actually a lot more!   You can do some pretty amazing stuff with this artwork on your own computer including custom 'paint ' jobs.  Some of the images are quite small and will not look all that great if you blow 'em up to poster size, but you will be pleased with the detail in the art.

ABOUT CARSoft -
	We started CARSoft in 1994 when we couldn't find good auto art for our own use.  Currently  (June, 1995) we offer ten different sets of terrific auto-oriented illustrations for use on computers.  There are over 1250 illustrations including street rods, American cars of the 1930s, '40s and '50s and Pickups, Panels & 4X4s.  We'll send you our current brochure when you register.
