Default Another interesting '69 photo

OK, I promise this is my last attempt at a weird creative pic.... but coming home today from the Mid America Funfest I passed through this little town that had these 2 old cars peeking out of sheds towards the road.

I thought the '69 in front of them with the background lined up just so was kinda cool. Yes? No?

cool car, all it needs now is a set of L-88 flares, FIA headlight covers, minilites, a roll bar, side pipes and about 700hp under the hood...sorry thats the racer in me.

That's one fine looking car and the model that I would choose. Those old relics look sadly envious.

It's gotta be hard to take a not cool pic when there's a black '69 with red lines, louver inserts, and factory sides involved. That pic is instantly cool.

Hi WB,
That's what I'm thinking too.
Building any bridges this week?

Alan

Read it again and realized how much better that is than burning them…and only a couple of letters difference.

Alan-WB... the car on the right was what caused me to pull over. Definitely old Euro.

I did take one photo of just the cars... by cropping it, it appears that car has a "Jaguar" license plate.

Nice.

I'm looking forward to getting my '69 registered and taking these sort of shots. Of course mine isn't triple black...

Your car looks amazing.

Thanks, but your Daytona car will take plenty of killer shots on its own. I think these cars like the camera.
