The V-8 Goddess project was started in 2007 for Bob Drake Productions as marketing art for the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Bob and Randy Johnson had the idea, and were inspired by 1930̢۪s hood ornaments. The initial sketch was created by Daniel Miller. A small maquette was created for this project. After the success at the SEMA show, the 7.5 ft. sculpture found a new home at the Ford Car Museum in Florida.
