Bel Air
.
There was a big car show called the Black Top Nationals in Wichita this past weekend. Yesterday I spent some time there shooting. This hood ornament on a 1950’s vintage Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite image so far, but I haven’t finished post processing the rest. I’d guess at least 20% of the pre 1960 cars at the show were Chevrolet Bel Airs. Ken Bello, I had this post planned before I saw your’s this morning, I swear!
The Warped Prism 
Brilliant minds think alike. I can see why this is one of your favorites. I love the design of hood ornaments, especially the rocket ships.
Yesterday I had some serious computer problems and spent the whole day trying to resolve them (not done yet) so I posted from one of several drafts that were made in advance. One of those drafts (titled “hoodworking”) was a series of hood ornament photos. I swear. The only reason I didn’t post it is that I had one more photo to add to it. Brilliant minds!
