Cherry's #3


This 1926 Dodge is amazing to behold.
One wonders what the original owner would think of this paint job.
To our 21st century hot rod lovin' eyes, the "real fire" effect is awesome.


The high gloss, the fire effect on a black background and very little further customization make this a stunning specimen.



Original hood decor (or darn good replicas) includes the irresistible cloisonne-like Dodge Brothers emblem.



The high gloss plays a few tricks on the eyes.
I managed to capture myownself in the rear window.

Taken 12 September 2010.

Modest but reliable Canon PowerShot A590.

  3. Super photography of a super car. My first car was a 1937 Chevy...which I proceeded to lower and deck, etc. But it didn't look anything like this. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing!
