 An image of the Chevrolet marker on the trunk lid of my 1968 Impala convertable. Purchased new by my father off the showroom floor of a local Cincinnati dealership, it is considered a family heirloom. After my father had passed away in 1995 my mother would not let anyone touch it. For many years it sat in an open garage until she finally came to her senses. It is half restored as the mechanical side of the project is complete.

Interesting angle - too bad about the harsh lighting near the end of the word

cool old emblem, I like the gleam. I do feel the crop is tight on the chevrolet though.

Crop seems too close for my taste.

I like how the light really makes the emblem gleam- looks great with the paint (or at least what's left of it) color. Might've cropped it a TINY bit less so the bit of the T & C wasn't cut off.

I have mixed emotions on this, good color and I like the angle of "Chevrolet". I find the light on the right top side to be distracting. If I were you and taking this again, I would have tried to suppress that light somehow. The varying levels of light adds to the image, the harshness and reflections hurt.
