"What a pleasant surprise to discover that you can run the new 1954 Chevy Belaire with the kind of money that fits a young man's budget." This absolutely clean 1954 Chevy Belair was parked at the Bob's Big Boy Broiler's Wednesday night car show in Downey. I was really struggling to get a good shot of it. First people kept walking through the shot and other cars arriving and leaving swept their headlights over it during the long exposures. I do like how it turned out though. The paint was highly reflective and I'm sure even more spectacular during daylight.

I think this is a Chevelle but I'm not sure what year. Kathy and I went to the Broiler on Wednesday and I met several members of the Sultan's Car Club from Long Beach. This was one of the Sultan's cars. This was a tough shot because people kept walking through my long exposures. I had to wave several people away but not everyone heeded my wishes.

This is a beautiful Chevy Bel-Aire station wagon. Not sure what year it is but maybe 1943 or so. Anybody know? This 10 shot HDR was taken at the Ruby's car show in WhittierCalifornia. I got there late and the sun had already started to set casting nice golden light around this very reflective car.

This red 1957 Chevy caught my eye almost from the moment Kathy and I arrived at the Elks Santa Ana car show. The cars were parked fairly close together so it was tough to get a full body shot of this beautiful classic car. Maybe next time.

This amazing black 1957 Chevy Bel-Air sits under dramatic skies. Kathy and I attended a small car show in Santa Ana, California and saw several really nice cars. As is typical for car shows, the owners are always cool and happy to let us photograph their cars. It did rain later in the day but we were lucky to stay dry during the shoot. I'll be posting more photos from this show in the next few days.

I took several sequences of photographs of this incredible car. It was a perfect day, although kind of hot. I was able to get the colors and reflections I wanted.

High angle view this truck shows off it's ultra-cool vintage styling. They don't make them like this anymore and that's too bad.
