I shot these back in mid-2011 during my friend's wedding in Wisconsin. His friend's dad owns a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air that rumbles around town like nobody's business. I fell in love with the car in an instant and shot a few photos when I was with it.
Donald or Ike as he's fondly known amongst his family and friends, took me around town as we were winding down with my friends wedding. It was during the wedding that I managed to get a 20 minute break from the wedding shoot itself and took these pictures.
I remember flooring the throttle and sinking into the seat. It was one of those few times on my trip to the United States when I had a smile plastered across my face!
It had a deep emanating growl and as you pottered around town it rumbled, signalling it's arrival and expecting anyone in it's path to move out of its way. The motor was quite a character and the car exuded a classy persona. If I were a mafia don I might ride this to work everyday!
It had been just a few months since I bought my SLR and was still learning the ropes at the time.
I hope you liked the pictures. Thank you for your time and support!
