...............Out on the frozen duck pond, things were mid-kerfuffle and not likely to improve......Lt Frank had been called away from breakfast to deal with reports of a duck caper on Old Ben Miller`s pond......When Frank rolled up,salivating over thoughts of crispy roast duck smothered in a piquant caper sauce, his reveries were yanked back to reality at the sight of the Russian mobster Lars Griegor.

..............Attempting to perform his very own disappearing duck trick, Lars was haphazardly endangering the skin of the "highly sought after" DM 1957 Turquoise Chevrolet Cameo Pickup Truck 

..............quite honestly, Frank never did decide between protecting the "highly sought after" Turquoise Cameo and snatching up the succulent waterfowl at his feet

Great story line and images, not to mention that gorgeous Cameo pickup. Can’t wait to see where Jack take us on this one.

Not certain, but if that 24-70 has VR, turn it on, and to the 'active' setting and the Vibration Reduction will be good for 2 extra 'stops' of shutter speed. That puppy is doing a GREAT job!

these are some of the words that came with the lens.......translated, it means shake shake shake Senora 🎵 🎸  🎷🎶 🎻

"Steadier than ever
4.0 stops of Vibration Reduction*
To complete the evolution, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR also includes Nikon's Vibration Reduction image stabilization technology. It reduces camera shake and vibration up to ~4.0 stops*. Capture sharp, steady handheld stills and HD videos, and shoot at slower shutter speeds in low-light situations without sacrificing sharpness. Versatility, enhanced"

shake down

I am currently running in 4th gear ..........  and planning,someday,to read the manual Razz

Great photos John!  I didn't know the turquoise 57 Cameo is "highly sought after" 

I only wish DM had detailed the bed better like FM did on their 55.

That is one sweet truck, JB!  However, it does lead me to ask this question:  How does one get down off of a Cameo?

David....don`t go feeling like the Lone Ranger.....a LOT of viewers were unaware of the upper level status of the `57 Turq.........that`s one of the reasons I never fail to mention it


Things I often miss:

1) who made the truck/car ?

2) how is it different by model year,producer ?

3) what`s the best way to describe the engine?

4) is Alice getting enough work these days?
