I was out for a beer after work with a colleague earlier this week and was introduced to a friend of his. Turns out he’s also a “car guy” so we ended up going over to his place to see his project car. It is a late 60s Muscle Car, of a variety I had not seen in ages. It still has its original paint, a nice metallic dark green showing a wonderful patina that only time can provide. His garage was very dark, and I forgot my camera, sorry. We talked about taking a drive and I emailed him a list of driving events coming up, so hopefully I’ll see the car again and be able to photograph it.
This chance meeting reminded me that I don’t put up enough photographs of domestic cars, despite having plenty of them around, so today’s CPotD is an American car just for my domestic-leaning car-guy brethren. Can you identify it?
Photo-geek aside: I love the shallow depth of field and subtle bokeh that my old f1.7 Olympus C-5050Z would display when set up right. I’m still trying to find an equivalent lens for this type of shot for my M4/3 Panasonic G1 camera.
Well, it’s definitely an AMC. Javelin? 1970 or so?
Ford Torino.
It’s am AMC, but not a Javelin: it’s a short wheel base AMX.
Paul is correct, it is an AMC AMX.
