..a 1949 Pontiac Silver Streak 8.. looking at this, i should’ve moved that chair.. but then, i don’t want to get yelled at.. considering how shiny these cars are, i just kept my grubby hands to myself..
The straight-8 was dubbed the Silver-Streak at Pontiac Division, but unlike its “flashy” name, it was anything but. During its 21 year run, which included America’s three year campaign in the war overseas, and right up until it being replaced by the V8, it was considered acceptable under Pontiac’s somewhat conservative management. Powered by the “eight”, a Pontiac was promoted as a likable automobile, with enough power under the hood to get the job done in affordable luxury.(wiki)

I know what you mean about the chair, Rian, because I was in the same situation at my car show awhile back. BUT it is as it is and does not detract ME from the slick feeling of the image. They just don’t make them like this any more, do they!
yeah, oh well about the chair, it’s still a way cool shot
Fantastic reflections. Love the colors. Great eye!!!
Super reflection . Super shot .
I like the reflected picture with the chair and all. I can understand how particular these owners are about their cars. Fine shot.
I wish I was there at this place… This is some awesome carporn!
Those type of chairs are as much part of the car shows as the cars them selfs. Nice reflection shot.
Cool car ! seems to be a theme on various blogs lately.
haha.. yeah, i noticed.. 😀
nice reflection from the silver streak. great composition rian!
terrific reflection! 🙂
superb reflection! lovely colors! good that you didn’t remove the chair. it looks natural.
that’s quite some reflection! love the greens.
Wow, Rian. This is such a cool shot. I’m in awe.
That is one shiny car; great reflection. My first thought when I saw the chair was there is a very proud car owner lurking around someplace nearby 🙂
Great reflection. Both layers of the shot have a lot of interest. It feels like we’re at an old diner or drive-in.
