Car Show

Two weeks ago there was a car show up here in Tahoe. I love old cars and just had to go over to the show and check out some of the nice rides they had. When I showed up I really wasn't into taking the big overall pic's of the cars. So I just started to take some cool detail shots of the cars. Back in the late 40's and through out the 50's car makers put these crazy hood emblems on the hoods of their cars. Most of them are airplanes and rockets, I've heard they put them on there to make people think there car was as fast as an airplane or a rocket. What a crappy marketing idea, but I think they look very cool on these old cars. I don't think people these days would be really into having a rocket or airplane on the hood of their car.












I just had to take an overall pic of this Rat Rod.

Awesome shots Doug! First car show I shot was in Montecito - still happens every year I reckon.
Made it back from China - sooooooo glad to be home!
