GinGer & a Sting Ray
GinGer and I caught one of these incredible cars parked outside of our burger joint, Jack Brown's, in Harrisonburg Va.
Before we even went in for a fried Oreo we just had to shoot a quick pick!
"In the beginning, the Corvette Stingray was a privately funded concept car that formed a basis for the second-generation Corvette Sting Ray (1963-’67). General Motors’ designer Harley Earl is widely credited with inventing the concept car and through the Motorama, the mobile traveling show of the ’50s, made these cars immensely popular.
There are two major focal points on this ’63: the engine and the chassis. While a big-block Chevy isn’t unique, hot rodders everywhere are fascinated when they see one stuffed under the hood."
"The first-ever production Corvette coupe, a futuristic fastback, sported an unusual styling element for its time period – a divided rear window. The rear window's basic shape had been originally conceived by Bob McLean for the Q-model. The rest of the Sting Ray design was equally stunning. Quad headlamps were retained but newly hidden – the first American car so equipped since the 1942 DeSoto. The lamps were mounted in rotating sections that matched the sharp-edged front end with the "eyes" closed. The Corvette continued to use hidden headlamps until the C6 model debuted in 2005. Coupe doors were cut into the roof, which made entry/exit easier in such a low-slung closed car. Faux vents were located in the hood and on the coupe's rear pillars; functional ones had been intended but were cancelled due to cost considerations. The fastback design was later adopted by another GM car, the third-generation Buick Riviera that debuted in 1971, with the "Boattail" nickname applied to the larger Buick design"

I have always been an artist. My understanding is that most people, if not everyone, produces artistic content fluidly throughout their days.
Whether or not that art is documented, complimented, seen, produced on purpose, posed for, manipulated, cheated stolen or just experienced; most things around you including you are art.
Entrepreneurship is an art form and I will now have voice where it is preferred. I have decided to spend my time working on art and for love not with less focus on working for money.

I remember seeing a couple of those when I lived down in Texas... there was this car buff/collector dude who lived down the street from me. He had one like that in some kind of "electric blue;" and also a same time period convertible with a white interior. Pretty slick rides!
