To you gasoline allergic bark dressed backcountry folks out there, sorry about this icon of petrotainment, but if you can’t see a pair of backcountry skis in here you need to go back to design school. My old friend Al Fiorello’s Camaro, 1969 original resto. Even girls turn their heads, do they do that when you drive by in your Subi? Would this be worth the fuel if you are of the single persuasion? Only your Facebook messages page knows for sure. More, about time for an automotive post now that summer is _almost_ here!
Camaro ski design inspiration, 1969 to the present. A bit of a photography exercise. Canon A620 and sun behind a cloud. Giant lightbox in the sky is cheaper than the normal automobile shoot. So was the camera. Click to enlarge.
For those of you in the born yesterday category, study up on it. When you’re old and it’s the year 2040, you might want a 1969 Camaro instead of a 1995 Prius resto, but who’s to know for sure?
