Chevrolet Bel Air circa 1959 or so. They don't make those wings like they used to

Nice shot. You did well to avoid unwanted reflections in the chrome and paint. It sure brings back lots of memories. That was quite a departure from the norm during the 50's. As kids we used to hear stories about State Troopers going air-born during high speed chases driving this model year. Kids fantasies I would think. Certainly a collectors item now.

Thanks Bill, I waited until just after sunrise to get the light the way I wanted.

Sweet shot and I like the crop. It's nice there was some blue sky reflected in the bumper too.

It still amazes me that they could make those shapes and forms with the tools of the time.

As mentioned, good job on not making this one a self portrait!

Perfect perspective and a very nice finish on the paint to boot!

I think my old 61 Pontiac ventura had fins like this, nice shot.

Perfect perspective; I like how the wing lifts up to the roof of the car, ready to fly...
Very Nice.
