Description
Shot last weekend at a car show here in Denver, this 58 Chevy Impala just jad the lines that I so love, so I thought I would take a few snaps of it. Converted to sepia inside paintshop pro. Thoughts welcomed!Related content

That things a monster, but its still pretty. Wouldn't want to argue with it anyways.
Do the people whose cars you take the shots of get to see the final pieces or do you not know many of the people who have the cars? Was just wondering.....

well generally no they don't see them, but I may start loeaving them business cards after I take a shot of their car

I think you should leave business cards, some of the owners may be pretty impressed by your work, they may want there lovely cars as prints, you never know.

This is just gorgeous. Late 1950s industrial design at it's very best. This is a stunning capture. Very sharp, technically on the button. When I look at this image, I can't help but remember one of my former co-workers calling these older Chevrolets "Hard Chevys" because they were made from such thick sheet metal. Ahhhh.....to have one of these gorgeous machines to cruise around in on warm summer nights.... Great job!!!

I caught the tail end of that era. It was fun. Drag racing on narrow roads and trying to beat every one that challenged.

Gr8 Five-Eight!!! Bet the owner takes it to the Car Wash every weekend to hose out the modern-day (so-called) "impalas" (LumiPalas, actually) from the wheelwells!!! The Sepia Tone makes it look like an entry from the Chronicles Of Automotive History. Back when cars were BUILT, not "made".
