Last year I rented one of my f1s for a christmas photo shoot... as a tip they took a family pic for us as well.

I got 5 of my old cars in a movie this year about the kecksburg ufo crash, I got to act in the film as well and my wife and daughters got to be in the film as extras....we also used a few of our movie cars to run the stars up to the red carpet at the premier (I had friends drive them for us).... I included a pic of my family getting ready to ride up to the carpet with me in front of our 1956 vicky what was used in the film.

My 1925 tt huckster and daughters were used in a photoshoot as well this past year.

 

This one was a self-imposed impromptu photo shoot...that is, I asked her to pose with my car, but I do get asked for photo shoots with my cars once in awhile. car shows like Billet Proof and Midnight Mass are the best for such quickie photo shoots that take only a few minutes.

 

And another one...

 

Why not, we allow roadsters and convertibles and most of them are topless?

 

So, that's what happened to Teri Garr?

 

Not my car... but my house! A friend of a friend used to take his xmas card photo in my driveway. That was a couple of years before we met! A group of us were having a beer somewhere and it came up, needless to say we had a good laugh!

 

TommyLee photographed my car for Coker as well

 

Mine has been used for several of the seniors for school pics.

 

Happening now...

 

I was at a small show it was cold and rainy, a photographer ask to shoot my car with a girl, the girl looked cold. I said sure.

 

reminds me of my Indiana buddy has a mid 30's chicago picture of his mother-in-law, one foot on the running board with a guy next to her. she had a restaurant back then. she had some neat stuff given to her that she still had. the guy next to her was...…….Al Capone. cool pic.

 

My 1936 Dodge also posed for wedding photos and was the getaway car for the bride and groom....I made that sign....

 

I was at a car wash one day..............

Years ago buddies of mine wanted to go to this car show that was about an hour away in a park. When we got there it wasn't a car show but a model and photo shoot so we stayed.There were a lot of photographers there and still over thirty years after we did it I still have guys come up to me at car shows my car is at and talk about taking pictures there.

 

Not my car but my son and his business partner built this one. This was a photo shoot at their shop. I got to lurk and snap a few pictures...

 

My 32 and my brother's pickup were shot for use in Holly Felsen's reprint of her Dad's book Hot Rod. And, the inside shot shows my daughter and other brother modelling as the books's characters.

 

Well your Bro and his Associate apart from great taste in Women build pretty awesome Hotrod...that kinda ticks all the boxes...very nice...

 

Oh, what the hay....it's Friday....

 

This was a while ago . . .

 

Thanks...the 32 roadster is an interesting story in itself. It was featured in the Dec 2012 issue of Hot Rod magazine and was an AMBR contestant at the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show. You can find more info by doing a search for Sylvester 32 Ford Roadster.

 

Was asked to use my stude while I was at work at the old Central Terminal. The shoot was for an 80's Punk Rock band, The Restless, and appeared in the October,1984 issue of Esquire magazine.
