Detroit, of course, is a hotbed of car culture. Many of the classics you see here are former California cars, my '55 BelAir Convertible among them. In fact, classics are so numerous here that special one model shows are frequently held. The photo I posted the other day was from a show for just 55-57 Chevies, both restorations and hot rods, and it drew several hundred cars. If you want to see all the pics, they're here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=624073 These aren't anything special photographically. Just roughly converted snapshots. And since I did them on my laptop, some are too bright or too dark. But there are plenty of cars:-). Paul On Jul 23, 2006, at 10:55 AM, William Robb wrote:
