    Now that's some really good car work, Eric. Bravo clap.gif Nice perspectives....super framing. Just let the car tell the story is the mantra to follow and you excelled at that. Yes sir, fine stuff.

    BTW...that hang-on AC unit on the purple car is quite a rarity and the visors over the windshield ( if original ) don't grow on trees.

    See you,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    So that's what that is! Had me really headscratch.gif

    Nice car shooting there. And what beautiful machines, too.

    The purple one is not a "faithful" restoration... but it sure is an eye-catcher!
    The rainbow metal-flake was really cool in-person.
    Thanks Taz.

    Thanks Tom... if you like them, then I guess I did good.... I don't shoot cars very often, and (as you know well) with all the variables, it's harder (for me) than one might think.

    Thanks David... it can't be seen in my images, but most of these cars had the visor and "air conditioner" - don't know if, as Tom mentioned, whether they were original or repo's.
    Either way, they are interesting and beautiful machines... "don't make 'em like they used-to"

    Great cars and great shooting Eric!

    Ah, curb feelers. I remember that they didn't help my moms parking a bit.

    Thanks much Randy!

    And yes, I too have a strong recollection of the curb feelers on my Mom's Chevy and my Grandmother's Buick - it's the sound I remember so much... rather like fingernails on chalkboard in appeal.
