1964RamblerAmerican440

This was a lark. I had some studio time avaialable between shooting cars on assignment so I had my 1964 Rambler American 440 convertible detailed and rolled it into a the studio's cove. It's probably the first time since the fall of 1963 that a 1964 Rambler American was shot inside of a studio so I went for some brochure-style shots that might have been seen in the 1964 promotional materials. I think that given that the car is 40 years old, it looks pretty good. The car was bought on eBay last spring and except for a quick $400 paint job (with lots of self-prep before hand), the Magnum 500 wheels off of my 1968 Rambler Rogue (undergoing a ground-up restoration) and rechroming the bumpers, it's pretty much as I bought it. (Shots of the all-original interior will be posted soon.) Its trip from Boston to LA has already been featured in a two-part story, "Ramblin' Route 66" in the UK publication Classic American. You can look at part one of the series in my PDF Files library at: http://imageevent.com/mmm_mag/pdffiles . Just scroll down to images #19 + 20. If you own a vinatge, classic or special interest car and would like to commission a shot, please feel free to contact me at autotronic@aol.com. My rates are reasonable and I can shoot your car in a studio environment, with a period-authentic background (like a vintage building) or just standard, boring photography (the least expensive way to go) like you see in the vast majority of automotive publications. I am based in Southern California but travel extensively in my work across the US and in Europe about six times a year. As you can see from my PDF files, I've been published extensively around the world and I am always looking for noteworthy vehicles, especially those rare vehicles with interesting "history." I look forward to hearing from you -- if I can make my daily-driver Rambler look this good, just imagine what I can do with your pride and joy. I would love to hear from you.
