His first colour book for children provided Beddows with an opportunity to use an old technique, glazing, in a modern way and to address his recollections of childhood from a contemporary perspective.
"Night Cars is a very important book to me, and has been important in my development as an artist."
(Undated letter from the artist to Irene Aubrey, Children's Literature Service, National Library of Canada at the time, in 1991, when the National Library of Canada acquired the studies, sketches, preliminary drawings and 14 original illustrations for Night Cars.)
