Description The Montclair Timewarp

When Mercury made some of the badest cars around, when the lines were designed and Chrome reflected it's wonderful colors. When Rock & Roll was just being born, and tailfins were the norm. Welcome to the Montclair Timewarp!

HDR processed, selective vignetting, custom retro color curves, selective dodging and burning.

All I can say is that I am ordering a 24x36 print for my wall! I love how this one came out!

Thoughts welcomed!

That's when taillights were really a work of art. Such attention to detail! Not like the sterile taillights of today.
