A quick one, but a great one John!  When that Oldsmobile debuted from DM, I remember letting out a huge hoot and holler.  I always wanted Oldsmobile's in 1:24 scale and I'd have bought any all without the slightest hesitation.  

Love your "coming and going" shots John!  AWESOME!

John, didn't you mention once that you used the roof of your garage or something for some of your photos? Whatever you do, it works!

Good memory John. Yes it is the roof of my shed. 

It started with me making some repairs to the roof. When I was on the roof, I noticed how cool the sky looked and with the tree branches/leaves in the background, I was inspired. So I set up the area and up and down the ladder with a couple of models, and that was that. I wasn't all that comfortable during the shoot, so never did it again. Sold that house, so won't happen again anyway.

For the '55 Oldsmobile it doesn't get any better than this one. Short but sweet picture array.
