Cars, Cars, and more Cars!









This past Saturday I had the opportunity of photographing some of the world's rarest automobiles at the LeMay auto show in Parkland, Washington. Make sure you click on each photo for a larger, more detailed view.

At its peak, the collection was in excess of 3,000 automobiles, motorcycles, trucks and other vehicles, plus more than 30,000 pieces of related 20th century Americana.

Way cool, David! Too bad current automotive design is not as beautiful. I get so tired of seeing Tupperware on wheels... all the plastic vehicles with little or no design or sculptural lines. Bah, humbug.

Dave, these photos are terrific; I love the distorted perspective that enhances the beauty of the detail in the design -- fins, grills, and such. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. I wonder if these cars are as comfortable as today's cars. They definitely look roomy.
