Description
This big beautiful yellow Dodge Charger has an abstract appeal and would look stunning on any car enthusiast's wall. Photographing this car brought back many memories as I raced a classic green 1968 Dodge Charger RT on the quarter mile drag strip in the Powder Puff races - of course. .It was a man's world at that time.
On January 1, 1966, viewers of the Rose Bowl were first introduced to the new "Leader of the Dodge Rebellion", the 1966 Charger. Designed by Carl "CAM" Cameron, the Dodge Charger introduced a fastback roofline and a pot-metal "electric shaver" grille. The grille used fully rotating headlights (180 degree) that when opened or closed made the grille look like one-piece unit. Hidden headlamps were a feature not seen on a Chrysler product since the 1942 DeSoto. In the rear of the new Dodge, the fastback design ended over a full-width six-lamp taillight that featured chromed "CHARGER" lettering.
Photographed at the event "Hot Nite in The City" 2014.

Normally I try to avoid reflections in many of my car photos...but this works so well I am going to have to rethink my techniques!

such an interesting unique capture Theresa! I love those yellows and the reflection. Also the abstract quality from the close-up well chosen PoV :)
