That was originally done by "Bondo Bob" Roberts, a rather accomplished car guy/designer/artist from "back in the day."
If you were to Google (or BING yuck!!) Bob Roberts, you probably could find some internet retailer selling reprints of that great old piece of garage art.
Hope this helps.

P.S. edit-Bondo Bob is the same guy who did the crazy robot-menacing-half-naked-girl artwork featured on the inner vinyl sleeve of Guns N Roses "Appetite For Destruction" album...If anybody gives a who-doo...

Yeah, I looked for it too. What I did find was a bit freakish for my taste. I seen it years ago, had to be in a magazine, it was way before I ever had a computer. The milk truck backs into the the Merc while delivering milk to the high school dance. Merc owner is being held back by his buddies so he won't clobber the truck driver. A neat painting.

back in the 80s Robert William and Ed Roth used to go to the Montreal car show every year and sell those posters for a buck each. A buck more and they would sign them. I was buying them for all my friends 10 at a time must have 5 or 6 different posters.
