Welcome to The Machine

Today was Superday, the annual big day of kids events, music, food, etc in town. And as always, I go mostly just for the car show. Used the new camera. A nice warm sunny day with a breeze but no storms, after a week of bad weather so that was nice.

I took quite a few closeups of cars/details rather than all full body shots, as those can often be more interesting. Some I did very little to, others got Photoshopped a bit more.
Starting off with a pretty rare car - a 1970 AMC Rebel Machine in standard red/white/blue color. A very low production car, with a lot of horsepower. Almost stock except for the wheels. A pretty neat and unique musclecar.
The fender badge from a first generation Ford Mustang convertible. Apparently only 50 Mustangs were made for the Rocky Mountain region with this 'High Country Special' designation. So that makes this a really rare car.
The front fender of an early Corvette, with all the neat little details.
Part of the hood scoop on a nice old Dodge Challenger in a bright metallic orange paint.
A full shot of an old-school looking hot rod, a mid-50s Buick. Very nicely detailed.
A shiny V8 emblem on the front of an old Ford coupe.
A early 70's Corvette Stingray emblem, with a lot of Photoshop. Many of these photos had to have some work done to them because it was so bright out, and everything is so reflective I could see myself in many of the photos. Which I didn't really want!

And finally, with any car show photos, I have to include a DHCBWOCHO (Dramatic High Contrast Black & White Old Car Hood Ornament) if there are any to be found. There really wasn't anything very unique as I'd hoped. But I did a couple anyway!
A 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury. Left the color on the emblem itself. The car was bronze colored.
A 1955 Chevy Bel Air coupe. This car was light green.

That's all for the car show. But coming up soon - July 4th and some fireworks!
