Of the 14 cars I shot at the Mopar Nats this past summer this '55
Desoto Fireflite was my favorite. I don't like the open windows,
but the magazine editor wants hardtops shot with the windows down,
so... The engine is a 528 cubic inch all-aluminum hemi from the
Indy Cylinder Head company of Indianapolis. I believe it dynos at
about 800 horsepower. The drivetrain and suspension are equally
stout. The front end can be raised via hydraulics for more ground
clearance when necessary. The interior is white leather. No door
handles. Doors open via a radio control device. A decent machine.

Both shots with the K7. The car was shot with the 60-250, f5.6,
1/800th, 250mm. The engine was shot with the 16-50, f8 @ !/125th
with flash and lightsphere.

Both excellent shots, Paul. You must have been lying right on your
stomach for that front shot -- that angle and elevation is exquisite.
Thanks. Yeah, I got down on the ground for that. NOt much fun, but
that's the look that the magazines like.
