Tomorrow is a big day for the United States of America, if you haven’t heard. What better way to celebrate than setting one of the most American images you can find as your wallpaper? The only thing that could make this shot better would be a red, white and blue paint job, but no one can complain about purple.
This weekend’s wallpaper comes from Drew Phillips, and features a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500CR by Classic Recreations. The man who had this particular car built even put his family crest on the interior, and Drew told us its supercharged V8 engine makes around 770 horsepower. But, even with all of that power, the car sure looks peaceful with the sun on the horizon behind it.
Since tomorrow is the Fourth of July, we’ll give you a few additional photos by Drew to choose from. Good luck picking just one, though.
