Note: In order to add additional interest to this album I will be randomizing the order of shots a few times daily.
281 images. Yes, there will be multiple images of some cars and no images of other cars that I failed to shoot or personally was not interested in. Sorry if I missed yours.
Featured car this month was altered's/gassers.
These photos taken at the sixth monthly Twilight Cruise held in the parking lot of the NHRA Museum on the grounds of the Pomona Fairgrounds. Twilight Cruises are held on the first Wednesday of each month from April to December. For me, this is the best regularly scheduled classic car show in SoCal (other than large yearly events). This sixth show of 2007 (August 29 due to LA County Fair in Sept) brought about 300 cars, down due to temps over 100. Later I will put up a second album with superior shots taken in RAW and processed accurately. You be the judge of the quality of these cars. I do not get involved in the sales of these cars so please do not ask me what a car is worth or what it is selling for.
As always, your comments MOST welcome. If you have make, model and other info about any of these cars please consider leaving that info under the photo by simply clicking on the photo and then clicking on comments. You may remain anonymous if you wish but please refrain from off color remarks that benefit no one. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
All photos in this gallery were taken with a Nikon D80 DSLR with a Nikkor 18mm - 200mm VR lens. On the D80 this is equivalent to 27mm to 300mm. The D80 is a professional 10.2 megapixel camera. All photos in this gallery are drastically downsized and optimized for web viewing only. Printing of these images prohibited. All photos Copyright 2007 Ken Leonard.
High quality prints and JPEG's available. All photos also shot in RAW and selected processed from RAW images will be posted a few days from now as I find time.

They have some huge car shows there, don't they? You have some great pictures there. I love the shot near the end of the 1940 Ford, that's what I learned to drive with. And almost to the end is the 1936 Ford convertible, same age I am. Always wanted one.
