a new sight

It gets harder and harder to capture different or unique angles of cars at car shows. I have hundreds of photos of antique car details and thousands of photos of cars; so at each show that I attend now, I am looking for something different, a new sight – like photographing a classic through a hood.

a cool car

I first saw this car at the Elgin History Museum Classic Car Show; it wasn’t in a great spot to capture a photo of the entire car, but I captured a very minimalist photo of the hood ornament (“Sleek Lines”, July 26, 2025). The owner was sitting directly behind the car at the South Elgin show and explained that the “hood ornament” is also the hood handle. This was such a cool car to photograph. 🙂

What’s cooler than a fully tricked out hot rod?
Wauconda Cruise In always puts on a good show, and this year, I was able to attend in both July and August.
