I had forgotten to write about Tony’s orange 1958 Corvette largely because I was so busy with the video (see this post) I shot the day I met Tony. Then Ernie (1937 Pontiac) said ‘I see you’ve met my brother (Tony)’; I had no idea. Tony bought his Corvette in 1970 for $ 750; it had been a racing car and many parts not essential for racing (wipers, lights, radio) had been removed to save weight. Tony actually raced his ‘vette for a few years until the value began to increase. Then he started to ‘restore it original’ had had a hard time finding some of the ‘missing parts’.
To search, type a car name, show name, artist, song, etc.

Focus on Cars
I like to focus on cars I can photograph in depth and write a 'car story' about the owner's experiences with the vehicle. Now there are over 55 stories of these cars; and here is a shortcut link.Post archives
