Show "Remarkable Car(s)"

I fell in love with hood ornaments decades ago when photographing a Duesenberg that was supposedly owned by Barbara Stanwick. Absolutely gorgeous. I have a bunch, but they're on film and sigh what a monster of negs I have to go through to find them all.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping to find more cars to do this method of light sculpting to. Here are a few before and afters, starting with Mel's (Jayhawk) Porsche. The one out for repairs. I'm going to be redoing it when it gets back and he lets it set still for longer than ten minutes. The black one is a Rolls Royce that I was allowed to have in my studio for a few hours.

Silver Cloud, Linda. Last model with drum brakes all round, IIRC.
Lovely shots.
 
This was the car my wife Linda, lgphotography, drove until a pickup took the nose off and totaled the car. We were okay with the insurance since it had an "actual value" rider on it. I loved the handling, the power,

and the comfort. That v8 was something else.
 
Some remarkable cars at Lake Garnett, Ks. One of my friends, another attorney, drives the old Lotus Cortina that his mother drove before her death and he also drives the Ford Shelby 350. This was a classic race so no one got crazy to ruin their cars. This is totally image heavy. I love to go to hear the noise, for the smells and the sights. Before I went to law school, I was in banking and our chairman of the board drove a Lola, a Bird Cage Maserati, and other exotic cars. He was a well-known driver named Jack Hinkle. I worked the races often and photographed many of his races. I was photographing a race when two open-wheelers got their wheels locked and one car went airborne and it killed the driver. I had the pictures of the entire crash and they were used to thwart a lawsuit by the heirs of the deceased since he caused the accident.

I got to take a Formula Ford around the race track several days before the actual race. I thought I was flying and I was so very slow. Fun days!
