Cuda in George Tice's "Petit's Mobil Station"
« on: September 30, 2013 - 10:25:09 PM »
Recent article in WSJ (Wall Street Journal) on George Tice.  They are exhibiting 6 of his photos in New Jersey to celebrate his 75th birthday and 60th year as a photographer.  According to the article, he is the most famous photographer from New Jersey, but what caught my eye was the Cuda in the accompanying photo.  The Cuda is a small part of the pic, but somehow the lighting and placement really made it stand out to me.  This pic from 1974 is considered a classic and I can see why...

That's pretty cool.  I'd buy a print of that but I looked around online and couldn't find any reprints.  Might have to have my roommate try to recreate it with my own car (he's studying photography at art college).

Pretty nice, thanks!
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Yeah, that's cool. 

I like how the stripe on the car goes with the bright lights of the station.
It really draws the eye to the shadows of the car.
