Post the best photo you've taken of your car

MaximusJ · 03-15-2013, 01:51 AM

My GF's dad got one of these! 57 chevy; Had the engine rebuilt to brand new 2 years ago; but thats about it; everyything else is original and Its in PRISTINE condititon! A real head turner.

Not my type of car; but I sure can appreciate it as being a nice and rare car.

The pillar between the rear window and passenger window look different...not to mention the front looks pretty custom. It's super clean though. Please tell me more about it.

Thanks.

it's actually a '57 body and dash on a C5 vette roller. Inside it's got custom interior with 4 bucket seats, nice center console, stereo etc... But the dash is full 57 chevy painted to match the car. All drive train, electronics, suspension is from a C5, power windows, AC, etc... It's really a daily driver car that looks like a show queen. The front end has been cleaned up quite a bit. Took all the chrome bullets off of the bumper and the hood. Some of the chrome has been traded out with black; the bits that everyone expects to chrome are still chrome. But the other bits that make that subtle difference have been blacked out. Every year it goes on a FL to MI road trip for the Woodward Cruise, she's no garage queen.

She isn't small either!! haha

Lol, last picture made me laugh.

Also a 57 is in on of my top 10 own before I die car list. So far, I'm 2 down on that list.

You can't sit at a light without getting a thumbs up or someone saying something to you. It's a head turner for sure.

This photo taken last year with my iPhone (shows my soon to be winter wheels). Photography is not my profession

I have 2 digital cameras, however, find my iPhone and / or my iPad cameras superior. Hard to keep up with the advancement of cameras.

Nice photos all around in this thread

A little unconventional, just like its owner/photographer.
