Shot another round of cars for the estate of a local billionaire. It's amazing the types of cars he had just sitting! Here are a few of the ones I shot.

Haha, definitely! I love that car. The top of the car isnt painted, it's actually leather!

I envy you the large space you have for your "studio"

gotta be fun shooting all the cars!

Haha yes, it's nice that the warehouse has shiny floors and a clear wall! i wish i could get a big piece of white cloth over the cars to get nice diffused light though. the overhead lights are pretty intense and can lead to bad reflections on darker colored cars.

Nice series of car photos ... The little car in #7 -- my favorite of the bunch. What kind of car is this?

O'Quinn has a nice car collection. I've heard about them, never seen them. I've heard about the Big Cow, it's nice to finally see it.

Awesome photos as well.

A friend / Duesenberg Historian for the ACD Club had this to say about the Duesey:

The Big Cow, as they call it now, was built in the early 1950s using Buick body panels (on a chassis that once had a vastly more attractive Murphy Beverly body). It was originally just a weird hot rod and then a later owner tacked on the horns and the story about it being owned by Tom Mix. It was actually built about 10 years after he died.

Thanks! That would be a 1960 Autobianchi Transformabile. Felt and drive like it was made entirely of recycled beer cans because, well, it probably was. No safety precautions taken whatsoever in its construction, haha.

Haha, yeah the Big Cow is quite a car. Never seen the EXTERIOR of a car covered in leather before... sure is different!
