I love this! Such a cool car, and I love the PP. I'd have had photographic seizures and fever, as well, lol!

I kept looking for your reflection and couldn't find you!

It's amazingly similar to GM's cars of the same time frame. When I first saw it, I was wondering if it was a Chevrolet, a Pontiac, or an Oldsmobile, or one of those just slightly customized. Thanks for sharing!

Great capture, dof is perfect and I love the reflection in the shiny paint. Sepia tops it off.
