Thematic Photographic 43: "Reflective" v.2.0 - 1960 Chevy Impala 2 Door
Of course, you can't go to a car show without doing a few of the obligatory side view mirror shots. I liked this one because it caught the huge leverage multiplying steering wheel common on cars of this era that weren't equipped with power steering.The Impala wasn't Chevy's entry level mid-size (that would be the Biscayne) but it was still in the affordable range. In its day it was a practical (by 1960 standards) working car. It wasn't until years later that these would become "classic" cars.

Nice car shot and beautiful clouds!!!
Hey, a dog's head is about as good as I can interpret.....
If you hadn't told me what it was a photo of, I am not sure I would have ever figured it out.
:P
Wow! That is wild!
Sheer class. Well done!
I love watching old series on dvd's like "The Rockford Files" just for the classic car factor, to see all those big old boats wallowing around in car chases:)
love the photo.
niiiiice
I didn't know there were obligatory side mirror shots!!! I will have to keep that in mind...this one is really neat by the way. :)
I like the way the curve of the steering wheel *mirrors* the curve of the mirror. (Get it? Mirrors? I crack myself up...)
Super side mirror shot!
Nice shot!
I grew up riding around in a 1973 Chevy Impala Wagon. (Longer and wider than a Chevy Suburban, I never did master parallel parking!)
Great photo! Great for the theme, and just great!! And now you've given me an idea.....
I totally remember those steering wheels! Not that I ever drove such a car but my parents and grandparents had them a plenty. We were part of an Auto Club with I was a kid.
Luv mirror shots! (but then again, I have a lil *thing* for mirrors, lol)
