My buddy's got a real nice all original Nova Wagon that we shot tonight with my homemade ghetto rig. I was going for a little bit of a moody feel to this one since it was kinda foggy out tonight.
C&C welcomed.

Nice shot, the background works really well. I just wish the car had more room to drive into rather than space behind. Still great though ;)

Very nice feeling to that shot. Seen this one? '64 Chevy Nova Wagon 478

I just wish the car had more room to drive into rather than space behind.

Me, too. Maybe something like this:

Very cool shot, care to explain your rig? I love seeing older cars with larger diameter wheels on them, and polished aluminum at that, what are those 17's or 18's I'm guessing?

i'm not a fan of huge tires on older classic american cars but 17s on some cars are OK. that looks decent. As what the other people said, more "coming into" room than "coming out of" room.

It's funny, but I much prefer my crop. Just seems to give the shot a less standard/boring feel, at least in my opinion.

Thanks for the comments guys! :D

Agree about the crop. But still a great capture.
I have 17" Coddington's on my 71 Chevelle...so I love the wheels :D
