Car Show Outtake: Lovely Allard
Posted on May 2, 2013 | 10 CommentsThis is going back a ways: I shot this Allard back in 2008. We saw a “civilian” Allard not too long ago, but I prefer my Allards in racing trim–and […] -
Car Show Capsule: A Genuine Retired Rampside

Dooryard Outtake: Rally Green Nova
Posted on April 12, 2013 | 28 CommentsI am not a real big fan of hot rodded cars, but must admit that some can look pretty good. For example: This circa-1970 Rally Green Nova I saw on […] -

Car Show Classic: 1982 Ford Mustang GT – Welcome Back
Posted on October 12, 2012 | 101 CommentsThe poor old Ford Mustang had an awful time in the ’70s. It fell off the wagon in the late ’60s, gaining weight that culminated in the zaftig 1971-73 model. […]
