Art and Imagination

[mlcraven]

My wife and I like to visit art galleries when we travel...I'm willing look at anything, check my prejudices at the door and attempt to embrace whatever it is the 'artist' is trying to convey. Be open to new ideas, new ways of thinking, different interpretations, etc. Of late, I'm making an effort to bring this same attitude to the things I see at car shows.

Case in point, the photos below. Not so very long ago I would have rejected this automotive interpretation as ridiculous. But at last weekends Virginia Motorsports Park Restoration Reunion I simply couldn't keep away from it, couldn't stop walking back to look at it, to admire all the details and pure wildness of it. I think it's great!

I am still trying imagination, I think it attacks.. if you let it go..

anwyay.
an el camino is not exactly a riddle about anything. The most useful on earth car one could get...
where is the riddle?

a turbo subaru wagon is a riddle..
an el camino, not so much.

nice paint work anyway. the photos are small in your post, but can see some detail.

Cars are art, especially customs and hot rods. I try to approach both with an open mind and see them for what they are, as opposed to what I would have done. Just because something isn't to my personal tastes doesn't mean it isn't done well.That ElCamino is too busy fr my tastes, but there is a ton of work and talent that has gone into it.
