My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

That would make a great hot rod.

Maybe that was what was most needed or just what was available at the time.Nice shot of this old time classic.

My god. Still such a magical car. I love everything about him. The soft, generous curves. The running board, the door handles, the large cooler, the small casement window ... so many lovely details. A car with style. A baby when it is rebuilt.

The last pre-war model. Certainly worth the effort. I love these old cars and admire the people who work to keep them alive.

Its all about the lines, the Decco look, the build quality. There are collectors these days that want cars in this condition feeling that to restore them is not right...something is lost when the original patina is gone. Sounds like antique furniture, doesn't it:) Nice job...hope we find lots more during our future travels.

A distinguished vehicle, My brother went through a street rod phase when he was younger, and lowered the roof on a car of this vintage, only to find that he could not sit upright ! While he was still modifying it with a Perspex bubble on top it was in a fire... There's a moral somewhere.

Your different angle gives it a whole new dimension! Hard to describe how it looks to me other than just impressive!
