Galpin Car Calendar
Galpin Car Calendar
For years, Galpin has been renowned for its annual calendar, which showcases the dealership's major milestones and memorable events from the previous year. From the Galpin Car Show and the LA Auto Show to the grand openings of new dealerships for prestigious brands like Porsche and Jaguar Land Rover, each calendar captures the excitement and diversity of the Galpin experience.
Featuring stunning images of new, classic, and restored vehicles across Galpin's brands, the calendar provides a brief description of each monthly car. I was fortunate to collaborate with a talented team to develop the concept, recommend cars, and design the layout of the calendar, which has become a cherished keepsake for many customers.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, Galpin was unable to release a calendar for the past two years (2020-2021), but we look forward to continuing this beloved tradition in the years to come.

Theme
Choosing a theme for the 2023 car calendar was no easy feat. We knew we wanted to celebrate Galpin's resilience and success in bouncing back from the challenges of the pandemic and highlight the exciting projects the dealership has been involved in over the past year since COVID restrictions eased.
After much brainstorming and collaboration, our team came up with the perfect concept: "Galpin's triumphant return." This theme captures the spirit of perseverance and achievement that Galpin embodies, showcasing the dealership's ability to overcome adversity and thrive in the face of uncertainty.
With this theme, we aim to inspire and uplift our customers, reminding them that Galpin is more than just a car dealership – it's a symbol of strength, innovation, and excellence in the automotive industry.

Theme
This year's car calendar is a special one, as it marks Galpin's 75th anniversary as a family-owned business in the car industry. Our theme is a tribute to the legacy and values that have made Galpin a household name and a trusted partner for generations of customers.
For the cover of this year's calendar, we wanted to capture the essence of Galpin's history and vision in a single image. That's why we commissioned an artist to create a stunning collage featuring a group of iconic cars that Galpin has built and collaborated on over the years, alongside the dealership's beloved mascot and restaurant.
This image represents the diversity and quality of Galpin's offerings, as well as the deep connection between the dealership and its community. With this cover, we hope to inspire our customers to join us in celebrating 75 years of excellence, passion, and innovation in the car industry.

Theme
For this year's car calendar, we're taking a nostalgic journey back to the 80s! This theme is a nod to Galpin's 2019 8th Annual Car Show, which celebrated the iconic cars and culture of that decade to the present day.
Our cover car for the calendar is the legendary De Tomaso Pantera, which perfectly embodies the sleek, bold, and daring spirit of the 80s. With its striking design and powerful performance, the Pantera represents a golden era of automotive excellence and innovation.
We're excited to showcase a range of other cars from the 80s to 2019 in the calendar, from classic muscle cars to sporty imports and everything in between. Through this theme, we hope to transport our customers back in time to a decade that defined a generation and inspired a new era of automotive design and technology.
