Every Friday night he
would
do what every other teenager in Detroit did. He'd cruise the drive-in
restaurants on Gratiot and Woodward Avenues, testing his tire-smoking
427 Ford
in a street race here and there, and hitting on the teenage girls.
The engine is a 9 liter Chrysler
Max Wedge that delivers 800 horsepower to the rear wheels. Dave and
Shirley are
back. Here's a shot of them and their car that I took at the Detroit
Autorama
last weekend. I shot it with the DA 16-45 at 16mm, f4, 1/15th second.
And yes,
the car really is that red and Dave and Shirl are still in love.
They're
wonderful people, and I'm glad I got to know them and their amazing
Shadow.

Great story Paul and just a wonderful picture. Even though its
posed,it still has that
spur of the
moment feel.
You captured 2 people and their auto perfectly.
Great exposure and detail in this shot. Reminds me of my highschool
days with all those
50's and 60'
cars in the school parking lot.
Natural lighting with that slow shutter then.?
Dave
