Funny enough, I did some research and found out the cover artist is Larry
Elmore (bored and nothing else to do), I hadn't heard of him but found out
he did the majority of the TSR Dungeon and Dragons illustrations .. which
is funny since you said you liked Dragons.
As for the inspiration for the truck on his cover, if you look at his FAQ
on his page, http://www.larryelmore.com/LarryElmore/Support/QA.html you'll
see in his spare time he has a Blown Pro-Steet F*ORD, so he definitely has
a love of cars too.
