Why 1977?
The car was made in 1977, so I felt it was unfair to list it as a year before that.
Problems encountered: the car was parked in the garage, so I had to crop out a bit of that which showed. Also, I didnt realize this until I looked at the pics on the computer, but the registration tag which says '05 is on the front of the windshield, so I had to crop that out too. :(
I would have reshot, but I was already 3 hours away from where I took the pic. Oh well.

An image with flair, charm and above all a wonderful composition that appears to be moving right past the viewer. A very nice sensation. Hey, makes the voter want to go for a ride. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.
Looks perfect to me. After voting on all the entries I thought yours had everything. Great photo in general and most important it nails the subject of the challenge. Take away the title and you still know what era you're conveying. That's something you can't say for many of the photos ranked ahead of yours. Good job.
i love it! this is a sweet shot! i hope it does well. i've seen a lot of car shots in this challenge, but this one is the best! the girl looks awesome, and the compositions is really cool, and i like the blown out upper right corner. I give it a 9.
This is great. Where did you find the outfit for the model? lol The glasses really rock. The background and aft part of the car is a little washed out, but it works. 9
I really like the the look of this picture. The blown sky actually works in this setting I think, however I just wish that the highlights inthe rear of the car were still there.
I like this picture and it very authentic looking for the time stated in your title. I like the angle at which this was shot and the overexposed look of the background. 9
This is truly great...totally looks like it was ripped from the 1977 brochure for the car...well..except for that bit of dirt on the bottom...a super fine entry.
