118/366: Classic 1964 Chevy Impala Emblem

30 Apr 2016 11 7 663
Oh, I do love classic cars! They so often take my breath away, what fun to look at them! One of the cool things about where we live is the week-long classic car extravaganza that happens every June. The Medford Cruise Event has a different car show every day, and on the last day there is a many-hour, circuitous parade accompanied by oldies music to enjoy! This lovely emblem was on a 1964 pearly white Impala. What STYLE!! A little more about this emblem: The fact is that I do not love all classic cars, and I think the shape of Impalas is boxy and ugly--"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!!!" In fact, to me, when I see that emblem, I cannot believe they put something so beautifully designed onto such a horrendous car! See for yourself: 1964 Chevy Impala ...I know that the lines of this car appeals to many, but I hate it! So the only thing I photographed was THE EMBLEM! :D

I just love the ornate back ends of classic cars. Such interesting swooshes and details. I have always appreciated old cars, and enjoy staring at them whenever I get the chance. Here in Medford, Oregon, there is a week-long expo in June to showcase these beauties. Different shows every day culminating in a slow cruise parade that lasts for hours on the last day. I got this shot a few years back when Steve and I visited one of the daily "Show 'n' Shine" exhibitions. What a day!! All this time I've been sitting on these pictures, and finally I can share some! During this year, I will be rolling out another dozen if I can, I got so many cool images!
