Jorge Garcia was born in 1951 in Buenos Aires. At the age of 11, he was bedridden for 40 days. Trying to distract himself and to feel positive, he started to paint pictures of Disney cartoons. An artist was borne.
A couple years later, after his parents gave him an airplane kit, his drawing reflected his interest planes.
Of course this wouldn’t be a good article for Classic Car News unless he eventually got interested in what we all love, Classic Cars.
By the mid 60s, auto sport became very popular in Argentina and many people spent their weekends at the race track. Jorge and his brother also visiting the track very often to attend practice days. The noise of cars, their shape and sponsor’s advertisement attracted the Garcia brothers, so Jorge began to draw the cars which started his devotion to this sport.
