What I have is a huge 40" x 30" painting of a yellow Karmann Ghia.
This painting is signed and dated 1991, and is a very nice detailed original.
I will post some photographs of it, and hopefully someone can identify the artist by the signature.

I think that's Chip Foose's signature!

It certainly looks like the same signature to me.

The signature on the painting as posted by John, doesn't look like Foose's signature. Even the date ''96'' is above on one picture and below on the other.
