flying b

one cannot live on chevys alone, so i offer up something else for a change.

here's a bentley i saw at the million dollar breakfast club in marina del rey. while not entirely pretentious, it wouldn't be one that i'd go out and buy for myself, on the imaginery thought that i'd had the money to do so.

it has an interesting burled wood dash and the driver's side is on the left. the interior is a tan leather, so i assume the seating would be somewhat comfortable, at least to the touch.

i think i mostly like the front end with the big headlamps on cars from this period.

anyway, got that out of my system. i'll be back to chevy's, pontiacs, fords, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera next time.

“streetrod”

this owner was getting ready to leave. i had been taking pics of the car next to his. he had his hood up, so i wasn't going to shoot his car anyway. i asked him if i was seeing flames on his paint job, and he said yup, they're ghosted on there. not the typical airbrush in a barely lighter color ghost, but more of a they're the same color as the paint, only they're a slightly raised surface. really hard to see, especially with all the clouds reflecting on the hood. they're behind the vent(?) on the hood and on the fender above the tire, but you probably can't see them at this size.

anyway, he was nice enough to wait while i took a few pics of his car, so here ya go, and thanks.
