Scott and El Camino, Santa Clara, CA.
Hot rodders and rods congregate Wednesday evenings during the dry months. Fun and cool, all at the same time!
A bit out of my usual realm here.
I'm not a car buff, but on our way to vote this afternoon (state elections
and voting is compulsory in Australia), came across a hotrod show.
I only had one camera/lens in the car and to be honest, I was totally out of
my depth. The sun was too bright, so there was either harsh light or harsh
shadows, there were too many people around and Bob was suffering from a self
inflicted illness (too much footy and beer last night) and wasn't really in
the mood to be held up whilst I took photos.
So I rushed around like the proverbial fly and grabbed as many quick shots
as I could.

The hotrod rockabilly culture is large in Southern California due to the abundance of parts for old cars. AMY LEANG/Detroit Free Press.

This set focuses more on the beauty of certain details or features of vintage automobiles from a time when designers were as much concerned about form as they were function.
