Car Photo of the Day: More Bonnet!

An easily recognizable icon, I bet even John Welch can identify it closer than “A silver-gray one with a black stripe and a “427” on it.”

Let’s all sit back and see.

By the way, as much as it is nice to have perfectly clean, washed, and waxed, reflective paint to shoot, I REALLY like the dusty rain splatter on this car’s hood. It gives it a gravitas of purpose. From those elongated impact marks you can almost hear the rumbling 427 propelling that plastic machine forward through the hostile elements of some lonely two-lane highway, hurtling towards the vanishing point on the horizon, where the sun awaits beyond the storm.

Another view.

  2. so where’s the dirt again? my eyes are drawn to the wood grain…

    I’m guessing it a Corvette then is it?

    in my youth there was some huge ‘yank tank’ stationwagon in the area belonging to a family from USA with wood grain all down the sides… very very different… and stuck in my brain all these years…
