Description
The Montclair TimewarpWhen 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!

You have some great vintage car shots. This one though, for me at least, stands out from the crowd... Excellent!

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

I use Holbein Duo Aqua Oils most of the time...before i became a student. Now all i do is school art work.
This Mercury is a '57? With a sliding back glass?
