Yet another KKOA 2011 Photo Thread

Shows my age.
Pintos had not been thought of when I took my test.
The kool part of the story, it was a brand new 57.
Belonged to a cousin and his wife.
She was a cheerleader when they married.
She was a pretty blond and I think the driver's examiner was looking at her instead of my driving.
That is my story, and I'm stickin to it!

 

Hey Mick, I took my driver's test in a stick shift '49 Merc - Dad's, but my Mom taught me how to drive it cuz Dad said he'd never let me get a license cuz he knew I'd kill myself in a car...came close a few times, but I'm still playing with 'em...!!!

That would have been kool taking a test in a '49 Merc. My Pinto was a stick shift.
Man, I'm almost as kool as you. Ha, ha,... I need to find a Nerdforum so I can tell
my stories...LOL!

Happy Trails, Mick

 

I got to take mine in a pretty hot 66 Buick Electra 225 that belonged to one of my dad's mechanics since our 59 Olds Super 88 might have scared the driver test guys. I wish I had that one now.

Also - thanks everyone for your patience. Each one of these takes quite a bit of time to do correctly, some more than others. I am glad you are enjoying them.

 

Thanks Mick - and now we have your show (Starliner) to look forward to.

 

Yea, you are making me miss Salina so much I am getting more serious about trying to make the HAMB Drags this weekend...

 

Thanx for the pic of my Caddy, Dan...it looks gorgeous and good enuff to eat (fortunately, I get to drive it all over)...since it's so big, I'd imagine it took a long time to do this one...

Your welcome Roger - it is always a treat seeing it and photographing it. guthriesmith - I hope you have a blast at the drags. I wish I had the time to go.

 

Yep...almost...!!! You're getting there...

Why would you need a Nerdforum to tell your stories...??? There's plenty of 'em right here...I'm one...I'll listen/read...!!!

Bitchin' rides, thanks for the awesome photos !!!

 

Thank you Ricky!!

 

Is this Roy?

 

Yes, and WOW that is a great pic!

 

Thanks guthrie. I was pretty sure it was, but it was one of those things that just happened while I was shooting the car by itself. I wish I had had the presence of mind to put my flash on. It would have turned out even better.

 

No Sorry hotrodpodo ... I like it more.. How cool is this truck...

 

These renderings of photos look like that artist....Ken...Kent Bash? Is that it? Man I can't believe some of these! I've seen (and touched - don't tell) the green flamed '54 Olds! What a destroyer!

 

Thanks Mr Diablo and Blackmaria60!

Congratulations to Frank (GrouchySS) (63 Nova) and Larry(GasserLouie) (55 Chevy) in the picture below for wining awards at KKOA

 

Anyone know what year and model this is. Looks like some type of Model T or ?

 

Awesome stuff, Dan! You obviously love what you do.

 

Yep, that's the one. I thought it was just me. haha
I think it's 'cause, normally, in a photograph or rendering, there's a focal point, everything ahead and beyond loses focus. This photography and Bash's work keep most everything sharp.

 

Thanks Jimi and for the information jeem

 

Thanx for the pic of my Caddy, Dan...it looks gorgeous and good enuff to eat (fortunately, I get to drive it all over)...since it's so big, I'd imagine it took a long time to do this one...

Roger...always enjoyed your stories...they were great...never cared much for your taste in cars....but....your caddilac is gorgeous and just outstanding...

 

More on this one please!

 

Great pix Dan ! Didn't get to meet-up with you in Salina, but hope your camera has recovered from the 113 degree heat melt-down !

Thanks Jonnie. I think my brain was more melted down than the camera. The weather really does test people and of course the cars.
