Featured car this month was muscle cars. Next months show (held on August 29 because of the upcoming Los Angles County Fair in September) will featured altereds. If any of you viewing these photos have an altered or know a friend who owns one please consider bringing it out that day, thanks.
These photos taken at the fifth 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 fifth show of 2007 (August 1) brought over 500 cars I am told. 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.
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.

This is a labor of love and such shows as this cost me quite a bit out of pocket for travel, admission fees and of course equipment expenses. Please consider a small donation so that I may continue to share these awesome old cars with you. You may make a secured donation by clicking here:
