1959 - 1960 Chevy Impala

This second generation 1959 -1960 Chevy Impala convertible was at the 2014 Summer Fest in Antioch.

Cowboy Car

I saw this 1936 Chevrolet Standard at the 2014 Summer Fest in Antioch. With the guns and skull with horns made me think of Roy Rogers     Pontiac Bonneville customized by Nudie Cohn.

69 Chevy Camaro

I always liked the Chevy Camaro my favorite was the 1967 SS the first year and very similar to this 1969. One of my favorite parts was the look of the cowel induction hood along with the sleek body lines. I saw this at Summer Fest 2014 in Antioch.

Lil Omen 1950 Ford Coupe

I saw this 1950 Ford Coupe at the Antioch Summer Fest 2014. It reminded me of the car Sylvester Stallone drove in the movie Cobra. The car in Cobra was a 1950 Mercury Coupe, I like the Ford because of the bold chrome grille.

1961 Chrysler New Yorker

This 1961 Chrysler New Yorker was at the Show Stoppers Summer Fest 3rd Annual Car Show Antioch. The Chrysler New Yorker was a premium automobile model by the Chrysler division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1940–1996, serving for several years as the brand's flagship model.

This 1949 Buick was at the Show Stoppers Summer Fest 3rd Annual Car Show Antioch. It has a Buick Fireball Dynaflash straight eight.

Chopped Trucks 20th Good Guys Car Show in Pleasanton California

I was walking through the cars at the 20th Good Guys Car Show in Pleasanton California and saw the truck in the first image drive into a row of them and knew I wanted to get a shot of it. So I followed the noise because I could not see it and eventually caught up with it and got the shot. I also found a whole row of chopped trucks in the second image.

All My Friends Know A Low Rider 1963 Chevy Impala

I saw this 1963 Chevy Impala at the Midnighters 17th Annual Downtown Martinez Car Show. This car reminds me of the years I spent in Martinez California. Low riders were all over the place it seemed like almost every other house. I never did understand why someone would spend so much on hydraulics, but I can think of a few purchases I made to later regret. Im also sure people have questioned a few of my purchases too. Besides the car does look pretty cool like this and I thought would make a great image.

The car also reminds me of the beginning of the Cheech and Chong movie Up In Smoke. Thats not too far off from most of the low riders that were in my neighborhood. Here is the scene that it reminds me of.

Its In The Trunk 1930 Ford

I saw this 1930 Ford at Midnighters 17th Annual Downtown Martinez Car Show. I showed my daughter where the term trunk came from. I liked the duck stick shift and the suicide knob. On this car my my Sigma 17-35 mm lens decided to start giving me trouble by the end of the day I had another paper weight. I've had since 2003 and it took a break when I had my Canon 20D. It actually messed up the picture with the trunk, the images were so sharp it showed every dust spec on my lens sensor ect (it looked like someone took a shot gun to the image with all the dust specs). I spent a lot of time on the image because I wanted a shot of the trunk and the owner (Bob) was looking forward to seeing the images.

Elvis Impersonator Rick Torres

I met the Bay Area Elvis Impersonator Rick Torres at the Midnighters 17th Annual Downtown Martinez Car Show. He has a few other sites that I will list here Bay Area Elvis Pink Caddy, King Creole Entertainment, http://www.kcelvisweddings.com/ and a Facebook page Bay Area's #1 Elvis Impersonator Rick Torres.

57 Chevy Truck Show Stoppers Summer Fest 3rd Annual Car Show Antioch

I shot these at the Showstoppers Summer Fest 3rd Annual Car Show in Antioch California.

Daddy's Caddy

This 1960 Cadillac convertible was my Father in laws and now owned and is being restored by my Brother and Sister in law. It was in the Show Stoppers Summer Fest 3rd Annual Car Show in Antioch and won Outstanding award in the car show. This is the car my wife was brought home from the hospital in.
