Cars and Coffee

I figured out that the white balance on my camera was set to something funky during the Dallas Mustang Open House. That is why most of the pictures look funny. They came out with a blue tint and then I tried to edit them in Photoshop Elements. Needless to say, I have a lot to learn on both fronts.
Cars and Coffee is an event that began in California several years ago. It finally made its way to Dallas. It is held the last Saturday of every month in Plano/Frisco from 8am - noon. It is just a large get together, no prizes, no awards. Just 'Cars and Coffee'. This was the first time that we have gone. I overheard someone say there were over 600 cars there. I don't know what the final count was, but I do know there was more money there than I would EVER know what to do with.


There is more money in this car ALONE than I would EVER know what to do with.
It is an ORIGINAL 1964 Cobra 427. Out of the 20 or so out there that day, this was the only original one. The rest were replicas.




When most people do flames on a car, it is painted on. This guy, I can only assume, took a piece of sheet metal and actually formed it into the body of the car. It was 3D. If I were to do flames, I would do them like this.

I'm not big into cars, but went to many a car show years ago when I was dating a guy who was. I've never seen those sheet metal flames before. Very cool!

irdo you think Dad would enjoy taking the Camaro to Cars and Coffee some day? I know he won't remember it but he might enjoy it at the time. Maybe one of you grandchildren might drive it. What do you think??
