This is a picture of an old ford coupe out at the Scottsdale (Arizona) Pavilions cars show held every weekend. Picture was taken with an XSi and 18-55mm kit lens. C&C appreciated. Thank you for looking.
Explanation of thread/picture title, don't care just skip this part.
I chose the name of the title drift away because for me, when I see a beautiful old classic car or truck either parked or running down the road everything else in life just seems to drift away and it's like I get to pretend like I'm living in the good ol' days. Granted, I'm only 21 so it's hard to take me seriously when I say "the good ol' days", but it just seemed like a much simpler time that I would of really liked to of been able to experience.

It's a nice car however the image is not centered. Maybe re-crop it again so that it's in the middle but nice pic.

Re edited, tried to center it up a little bit better.
Re-edited again because I suck at details and straightening, I really need to slow down and look more.

I'd prefer to see more of the front end (ie: bumper)...there's nothing really all that eye-catching about the car to justify the tight crop (like the grille on a RR or something)

Thank you for your comment and I'm going back out to the show tomorrow evening. I've seen this car there a few times I'll try and get a better shot and post it up. If not I'll have more posted up of various other cars and trucks as I plan to get out there early and take lots of pictures before the sun goes down.

PhotosGuy, thank you for your comment and link. I just got done reading it and I'll be heading out to the show in about an hour, hour and a half. I'll try to get some better shots with the tips in it, it was a very useful link I have bookmarked now, lets just hope I can put it to good use.
