 I chased a neighbor down the road after I saw him drive by in this classic. Not sure how many people will connect the title to the Meatloaf song "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," but that's the reference :)

My favorite MeatLoaf song.
Cool old car....tank. This is a nice shot and I know how that sun/shadow thing can cost you in the voting. Still I like this and you did a good job.

Yeah, put some Dick Dale music on that radio (or Southern Culture on the Skids) and I could be driving this baby all day, daydreaming my time away.

I would have ranked higher if the sun patches on the steering wheel weren't as bright. Overall, I like the shot, and it is a different perspective of oldie cars besides just taking the picture of the back fin. Good job!
