That way you could print a drawing with no color, make copies, and experiment with drawing your own graphics, paint colors, striping, etc.

Sometimes you can fine outlines that are close at image sites like istockphoto.com or shutterstock.com.
Good luck.

They have dimensioned drawings that you can print and then experiment with. I've done it for my '57.
