1844
The photo above is actually not a car on fire. It’s just painted to look that way. This must have cost a weeks’ pay!

Fine set, Ken!
Thanks, Harri.
Very nice! I like ‘1821’ and the leafy shadows across it.
Thanks, Meanderer. There is a small area under the tree thst the early birds take to avoid the heat. It’s my favorite spot, too.
Wow, on all of these! You do have an eye to see beyond what most people will see when at a car show.
Thanks, Monte. These photos practically take themselves.
Another fine gallery. Is that an AC Cobra? A friend in our village has one of them – what a wonderful noise they make!
Thanks, Andy. There seems to be a lot of Cobras in the area. I only recently found out that these care are very, very expensive.
Big like for the Hornet detail (1822). Would be interesting to print it so that the image is 1:1
(life-sized).
Thanks, John. This Hornet was in beautiful shape with mostly original equipment. I’ll try for better photos next time I see it.
These are terrific and that “car on fire” is scary good. That reflection in the bullet nose grabbed my attention. Don’t know these cars like the guys do, but the focus on the small details sure holds me.
Thanks, Anita. I’m fascinated with the details on these cars, too. Someday I’ll shoot the entire car but it’s hard to do that at these shows.
Another very fine collection, Ken! I especially like the blue hood (Corvette?) and the yellow hood (no idea).
Thanks, Tom. I think the yellow hood belongs to a late model Dodge Charger. I should do a better job of cataloging these but that takes away the fun.
I love you way you see cars Ken. 1821 is ma favorite. Even if I could not afford all these beauties, It’s so nice to look at the lovely details. The painting is quite good and we can imagine a car in fire.
It has been a long time I did not received your newsletters..
Thanks, Chantal. I did take a week off for some down time. I love to shoot these cars and I’ll miss them when summer is over.
Love the bullet nose too. Stedebaker? What I often do for cataloguing in situations like which does not interrupt the fun too much is take a quick snap shot of the sign or marque or whatever there is. Address label for a building. Etc.
Thanks ehpem. Right, that’s an early ’50s Studebaker, one of my favorites. If there is a plaque for a certain car I’ll usually shoot it within the frames oh the car photos. So few of them have any written info, though. The owners like to talk about their babies, not write about them.
A few decades back I knew a guy that had a Studebaker obsession. He always owned at least one. And sadly, he always crashed at least one every year. Some very fine cars paid the ultimate price for his idiocy. But I did learn an appreciation for Studebakers from him.
Another fine set of car shots, dude. Nice mix of old and modern models. Is that an old Studebaker in the mix?
Right you are, Jimi. That is a bullet nose Studebaker c early 1950s. Good looking even by today’s standards.
