Some of us are old enough to remember when cars like this one were objects of envy. Today, cars with tail fins are either expensively restored or junked. This one is neither. It is simply and old car parked on a street, in a neighborhood of vintage houses – as if it has always belonged there. I built this image around a series of pairings – roof to chrome strip, post-to-post, chrome-to-chrome, and fin-to-fin. The dappled softness of the shadows on the rich red body adds a touch of nostalgia to a subject already reveling in it.
