Is that mrvette?


For what its worth, that has to be terrible for the car's rear suspension. I'm thinking photochop.

If you look at the way the rear is sitting, I don't think it is photochoped

I was thinking the same thing. That rear end is squatting something fierce.

If that was Photoshop, then it was an outstanding job. Not only are the shadows perfect, but they got the umbrella's shadow density separate from the car's.

The way its squatting and the shadows of the camper i would say its for real or a very good chop job.

I will mod anything, i will admit i have modded some things that shouldn't of been.

But i could never ever came up with this idea.

My guess is photo shop, and a good one at that.
Why...because there is no shadow from the umbrells and rails on the trailer,
light shadow under the trailer
dark shadow under the Vette.

Umm...the sun was behind and above the person with the camera. The "light shadow" you noted was from the more transparent umbrella. The reason that there is no shadow on the camper is that the umbrella's shadow is on the ground behind it.

I call a chop. The umbrella shadow seems to far to the right compared to the rest of the shadow.

The umbrella was a dealer option. He's going to take a hit on the judging field.

Well, in the 70's, it was really popular to take your "abode" with you. Vans were outfitted to live in, etc. Putting a camper on your Corvette would take that to another level.

Now, from an engineering perspective, there needs to be another "slave" wheel under the rear of that camper.

Surprised that no one has questioned as how to refuel the car, would make for a rather short camping trip?
