 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air, owned by Jim Kinder of Norco. This car won best in show often and this image is for a Tshirt for an upcoming show from last year's championship.

The hardest thing was finding a clean background in that town, cable and phone lines EVERYwhere. San Gabriel mountains in the background, in a cemetary's parking lot. All the employees came to check it out. ;-)

Beautiful car! For some reason, it seems that the car is tilted to the left.

Nice picture, good color and exposure. I might have liked to see a more creative angle or perspective to make stand out more.

I'm looking at the mountains, they're beautiful, magnificent...remind me of my mountains at my place.
I grew up pretending to drive a car standing still in the garage, listening to the Beatles and Led Zepellin and Pink Floyd and Deep Purple in the car's radio. Now, I don't care about cars, I don't even drive, but I love music.

Seems a bit tilted and as if the wb is off. Still a great looking car and lovely backdrop.
