| Wow! I'd normally just make some crack about him having way too much time on his hands but those are astonishingly well done. Cool! |

I wasn't entirely sure what was going on for the first few pics. Outstanding. Nice to see some unusual cars for a change.
Not entirely sure about the 1959 Chevy panel wagon thing---like an El Camino, but with an enclosed bed. Never saw one if they existed. |

| I can't imagine doing that. This probably explains a lot of the things we see in movies. |

Wow, that made my day. The photo work made them seem so real.

| The downside is that I remember all these cars and times when they were new. Wow. |

The cars look die cast to me. But he did do a nice job on the structures and scenery.

I agree, Paul.
Look at the piles of tasteless, no-class, cookie-cutter, uni-color [or lack there-of], cow-tow to AERODYNAMICS [give me a break], sacrifice beauty and grace, JUNK, that people spend obscene amounts of money on.
Suckers deserved to be suckered.
Driving and owning a classy vehicle used to be what the whole deal was about.
Get yourself one of those gorgeous cars in that slide show, and the gals will be lining up for a ride; believe me. Yup. You can be ugly and/or nerdy, but if you pull up in one of those gems, you get the prettiest girl in the crowd. At least for a while.
And, they sure ain't about to line up to a Toyota, that can't de-accelerate. Or even stop.
I'm sorry for ranting, but we definitely are living in a classless time[for the most part]. We live with crass now; instead of class. For the most part.
BAH! 
And before you pounce on me, go back and watch that slide show again; and listen to some Connie Francis, while you're watching. Even have a picture of her, too. That wouldn't hurt.
That's why that guy did what he did. He can't let go.
Why should he let go? There's nothing today that come's close to that wonderful dreamy era, that a lot of us have lived through. Let's all go back. (Listen to the Byrd's "Goin' Back")[Notorious Byrd Brothers]
Almost everything today is just awful. Everytime you turn around, some rat has his hand in your pocket, trying to suck out your money or your life.{excluding the steel world, of course}
OK, that's it.

Wow!
Even with the quality of his cars and sets,
what impressed me most, was his use of light.
That da Vinci thing.

I dunno... if you are discussing aesthetics I would agree with you on a lot of things.
I'm model railroader and I have the same attitude toward locomotives. The diesel locomotives that were designed in the mid 1930s on up to the end of the 1950s were just as stylish as the automobiles of the same period. By the 1960s the locomotive builders went to more uniform body designs that are rather boring to look at.
