This is a 1949 Ford coupe Custom 2 tone and it’s the only one I’ve ever seen. The background is taken from a high vantage point at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.
These once-in-a-lifetime images are combined and turned into a night scene that is strictly from my imagination. For me, that’s the whole point of why I do this. It’s all about taking the things in life that are real and remixing them into the realm of fantasy. I think that is what nostalgia is all about. It’s recreating the past in a way that is better than it really was. So enjoy the view of this perfect automobile in the perfect setting under the glow of a perfect moon. Kind of makes you feel better doesn’t it?

Outstanding work once again. You must be on the lookout for great road shots whenever traveling, well done.
I’ve traveled a good bit and I take photo archiving seriously. That’s important when you want to combine images. Thanks very much Randy.
