History
and Background
White
House Graphics was established in 1983 as The
White House. Our first offering was a limited edition poster that
presented the production figures of the Ponticac GTO. A Pontiac Firebird
Trans Am 1969-1981 production figures poster soon followed. As a companion
to the GTO poster, a portfolio titled "The
GTO Years: 1964 – 1974", comprised of eleven black and
white pen & ink illustrations, was also issued. Each plate depicted
one year of that legendary muscle car's production run. The first 100
portfolios offered for sale were individually signed and numbered by the
artist, Eric White. Those first one hundred
examples are now prized and highly sought after collector's items.

from the portfolio were featured in the Dallas, Texas-based specialty
publication Classic GTO Newsletter
during the mid-1980s. A new magazine logo designed by The
White House debuted on the cover of that publication in December
1983.
Beginning in the late '80s, The White House began providing design services for automotive-related hobby organizations. Items such as T-shirt designs, award plaques, show flyers, and dash plaques have been a mainstay of our business for over 15 years.

During
the 1990s, The White House supplied artwork
and made editorial contributions to several national publications including
GTO Enthusiast
(now known as Pontiac
Enthusiast) and The Legend,
the national newsmagazine of the GTO
Association of America.
In 2001, White House Graphics absorbed The White House and began producing illustrations and prints primarily aimed at the classic American muscle car market. The latest products to be marketed by White House Graphics are the limited edition USA Muscle Car Prints and the Performance Pontiacs 2003 calendar and collector cards.
