@flyingstitch: Agreed. Starting around this year (73 or so) Chevy just didn't seem to know what to do with the Nova--they tarted it up quite a bit, which really didn't suit it, and then by 75 turned it into a generic looking sedan. But don't tell Beercheck I said that. 75 was still recognizable as a Nova but it was fading fast.
Great shots. What is that gold drop top, a 71 Torino or thereabouts? Very rare. The stealth Buick Deuce-and-a-quarter is well done indeed as is, of course, the Nova.
@Theimbellis: If you've got an eye for composition, framing, color and catching the narrative of a scene, then I agree, using an iPhone is no impediment, and the technical limitations of the format you're using (ex: Lomography) can be part of the work's charm.
So if you have these things, start shooting cars and I'm sure Murilee will be happy to run your pics.
If I ever get rich/crazy enough to make my much fantasized Project Rambler From Hell, I will put a Holman-Moody SOHC 427 backed with the ZF 5-speed from a Pantera where the back seat currently resides. This is, of course, predicated on winning the lottery.
Perhaps our ambulating entertaining friend would consider this for his Prius?

@.357:Half Man-Half Amazing: I just got back from the Mediterranean coast. They have plenty of Retsina but no Holman and Moody. Charlotte on the other hand...

AFAIC, Murilee does just as well, with more interesting sujects.

Now, Murilee... if you REALLY missed your Cyclone, you'd post the '69 Fairlane 500 fastback I sent you a while back. You saucy minx. ;)

One of the GT40s was the real, shifter's on the driver's door, deal.
