Ming Dynasties in<strong>to</strong> the original large scale paintings. From that, the skilled artisans at <strong>DiMora</strong> <strong>Mo<strong>to</strong>rcar</strong> invest no less<br />
than 750 man hours painting, <strong>to</strong> reproduce the artwork on<strong>to</strong> the hood and side panels of the car, right down <strong>to</strong> hand<br />
laying the 24-karat gold leaf artwork as a final step.<br />
Master Lee Sun-Don's popularity worldwide continues <strong>to</strong> make him a highly sought after artist. His artwork is currently<br />
showing in galleries around the world, including Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei. "We have been very<br />
selective with every aspect of building the <strong>DiMora</strong> Vicci 6.2, so when it came time <strong>to</strong> choose the first artist series<br />
collaboration, not just any artist would do," shared <strong>DiMora</strong>.<br />
"I am passionate about au<strong>to</strong>mobiles and the opportunity <strong>to</strong> get involved with local charity events that directly impact our<br />
community here in the Coachella Valley," said <strong>DiMora</strong>. "The <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>George</strong> Charity <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Show</strong> is a wonderful event that<br />
attracts some of the best au<strong>to</strong>motive innova<strong>to</strong>rs in the industry, all while raising money for such a noble cause."<br />
"Each year for the <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>George</strong> Charity <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Show</strong>, we personally invite a select few <strong>to</strong> display their au<strong>to</strong>motive works of<br />
art in our <strong>Car</strong> Corral," said Ross McMullin, President of the Palm Springs Cruisin' Association. "We are delighted that<br />
<strong>DiMora</strong> <strong>Mo<strong>to</strong>rcar</strong> will be bringing their <strong>DiMora</strong> Vicci 6.2 <strong>to</strong> our event and appreciate their continued support of our<br />
fundraising efforts."<br />

About the Palm Springs Cruisin' Association<br />
The Palm Springs Cruisin' Association is an all-volunteer non-profit organization whose purpose is <strong>to</strong> promote<br />
camaraderie among car enthusiasts and <strong>to</strong> stage and promote charitable car events.<br />
Palm Springs Cruisin' Association started out as a small gathering of car enthusiasts that met at Shakey's Pizza Parlor<br />
parking lot in Palm Springs over 25 years ago. People would get <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> admire each other's cars and swap<br />
information. It was started by two local car lovers, Loren Orcutt and Bob Hunt. Their first gathering consisted of about<br />
30 cars. As the participation grew, the club moved <strong>to</strong> Cathedral City <strong>to</strong> accommodate its size and remained at that<br />
location for several years. What originally started as a small group has now grown <strong>to</strong> incorporate an average of 150<br />
cars a month. For more information, visit www.palmspringscruisinassociation.com.<br />
