Here is a photo of the very blue and orange Jaguar E-Type #4 in the International Paddock at the Classic. This car certainly stands out with its striking orange livery accents, and the dark body with dark wheels is a nice combination.

David Piper competed in the Formula One World Championship in 1959, and then went on to race sports cars when he lost interest in single seaters. From 1962 until 1970, he often competed in his own cars at sports car events, incluidng 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Perhaps most famous for racing a multitude of Ferrari's, including the 250 GTO, 250 LM and the 512S, he also competed using his own Porsche 917K, and was involved in the filming of the Steve McQueen film Le Mans, where he crashed the 917K and lost part of his leg.
He also competed using the Lola T70 seen here with the Sandeman sponsorship livery and its original British Petroleum Green colour (the colour is impregnated into the bodywork itself). This Lola is chassis number SL76/150, delivered new to the David Piper Autoracing Modena team on the 7th March 1969, and was fitted with a 5ltr Bartz Chevrolet engine.
David Piper described the Lola as "such good value for a long distance sports racing coupe at that time. It was a big step forward in all areas over the Ford GT40 against which it was measured. The car was comfortable and east to drive with no vices at all."

I do not know the year of this particular Country Squire. Any guesses? I am not giving you much to go on!
1951 Cadillac Complete with "Dagmar Bumpers" ---------- "As originally conceived by Harley Earl, GM Vice President of Design, the conical bumper guards would mimic artillery shells.[2] Placed inboard of the headlights on front bumpers of Cadillacs, they were intended to both convey the image of a speeding projectile and protect vehicles' front ends in collisions. The similarity of these features to the then popular bullet bra as epitomized by buxom television personality Dagmar was inescapable." From Wiki

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm and a 3-stop B&W ND filter attached to my lens. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

We met Robert Moore, the owner of Tucumcari Automotive in New Mexico. Robert is justifiably proud of his large collection of classic automobiles. Edsel appears to be his favorite. If you visit this area of Route 66, stop by and chat with Robert. He will show you as many vintage cars as you have time to see. Robert is also very helpful to any motorist who has troubles in Tucumcari. We came by later in the evening and he was helping the owner of the boat in the background by flashlight.
A spur of the moment shot, saw the truck and asked to shoot it. Taken at the Mungle Bros. shop party before the Round Up.
