True classics gallery #1

Includes selections from the Million Dollar Car display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. These are cars that are worth a million or more each! Some of these cars were owned by famous people and heads of state including a Shah of Iran.

Trying to adhere to the CCCA Aproved list of full classics. Here is a link to that list:

When I return to Virginia, I'm going to pull this site up and go through some of the "classics" photos with my 89 year old dad. He won't be able to get enough and will tell me all about them. What unbelievable photos.

Excellent Bike work! Your coding skills are badass too, I like how you customized the CSS. I want you to be a premium contribution member to my site. This is just an invitation for you and your guestbook readers to come and check out my new site and help me spread the word. The site is not complete as of yet and I am implementing new functionality on a daily basis. A u t o m o t i v e P h o t o . c o m I have been working on this concept for over 5 months with some extensive research and development. I have contacted many professionals and created a list of over 350 of the best automotive photographers that I plan on inviting to the site in a newsletter once development is complete. You are encouraged to post your thoughts and suggestions so that the site can grow. My goal in building the site is to educate and inform the general automotive enthusiast community on the tricks of the trade. Learn how to get those "oH So Prestigious no line reflection shots" that you see in all the magazines!

I'm not much of a car fancier except for the art deco era. I never saw the Dubonnet until recently... It's magnificent! Where can I find more top quality shot of this beauty? Please reply via email. Thanks, philnoir@earthlink.net

Really enjoyed the pics of some REAL classic cars, something besides '50's and 60's Fords and Chevys. A comment on a mislabelling you may have already discovered. The caption for the 1933 Lincoln KB Willoughby Brogham pictured on the bottom row of your gallery seems to have gotten switched with the caption for the 1933 12 cylinder Packard pictured on the 5th row up from the bottom. Incidentally, cylinder is misspelled in the caption. Thanks for a great site. I have visited it several times already and I only discovered it a couple of days ago. Chuck

Great gallery,beautiful pictures!!! Thanks for putting these together! Just a couple comments...the yellow and black boat-tailed roadster with the canework on the doors is a McFarlan,I think a 1926{?}and not a Franklin.I recognize this car as the one from the Petersen Museum in L..A...{I worked on it doing a cosmetic clean-up before the museum opened some years ago}. The 1929 Chrysler 75 roadster is a beautiful car,but not a CCCA Classic..don't know if it was your intention to just have CCCA Classics in your gallery.Just thought someone from the club might notice that and make a comment or complaint.Some of the members are real purists! Thanks again for taking the time to put this excellent gallery together! Sincerely, Jerry Garvin,Anaheim,Ca.
