Description
I'm sure one of you motorheads out there will know exactly what this is. It might be from a '64 Chevy Impala (and do I have a story about THAT car!--there was this REALLY cute guy, he let me drive his 4 on the floor, I scared the **** outta him--someone saw me driving, told his dad, he got grounded--one of those stories!!) Anyway---I just liked all the chrome and shine and STUFF!!

What a great lump that is :)...Nice one Maz!
And a lot of stuff there is, although I'm sure engines then were a lot easier than they are now. Nice shot, Marilyn!
This could just as well be from outer space... I am so ignorant about cars and engines and things... I love the bling though.... Lovely shiny motor and so clean you could probably do open heart surgery on it!!! :))
What a hunk of machinery. Some of the best cars out there. Never more. Aloha
I can almost hear the roar of that engine! Great shot!
Such a nice engine. Big blocks are always fun.
fabulous!!!
I least we could all understand how they worked before electronics!
I bet you floored that gas pedal, lol. Nice capture. Aloha
<<<< shudders at all that cleaning.... nice shot
Now that is a work of art my friend :) lol
cool stuff x
beautiful color, excellent picture
WOW!!! Love the three duece set up, haven't seen that since the seventies!! Sweet!!!!!!
Beautiful capture, gotta love the older motors.. well done.
Vaarrooooooom!!! Three carburetors on that terror? Give me a break! Tuneup time! You don't drive that car, you launch it! Lots of contrast in this neat overhead shot of the super engine, Missy Marilyn. Vaarroooooooom!
I used to treat all 3 stoplights in town like a christmas tree and hit the floor with my foot just as the light changed to green. I left rubber wherever I went. On the couple mile shell road that lead to my house, there were small shell/gravel side streets that met it. At the opening of each side street, the grader would, once a year, leave a big hump of shell and gravel as they scraped the main road. when I would drive this road on the way home from high school, I'd make sure my passenger side tires caught the pile of graded shell and gravel which would send my car up on two wheels (driver's side) and I'd see how far I could go before coming back to all 4 wheels. Yeah, you had to hit those piles going about 50 miles per hour and yeah, a slippery shell and gravel road was not really a safe place for that speed and yeah, I could have lost control and ended up upside down in either of the 6 foot deep drainage ditches that lined the road...but I didn't and I loved it then and I'd still do it today if they hadn't of covered the shell over with asphalt about 20 years ago! LOL
I don't recall ever seeing a big block with three carbs - maybe my memory isn't all that good. Nice photo though, and it obviously clicked MrsLubner's memory big time! Now we really know what she's like - LOL!
sweet capture warm hugs, Linda
well I hope my count isn't off, but this is 1200, right? Close to it? (I counted up from here to your most recent image: 1200!) Well I know you don't make a big deal since you have gallery plus (or whatever it is), but still, it's 1200...so congratulations! This engine is big & blasting & bold, and you got a lot of blues & whites & amazing reflections & wires & motion, and in the back area, there're two splotches of pinks & reds, etc, that make it almost like a watercolor. (Is that you in the reflection?) Another shot where you isolated a part of a car and made it into a visual metropolitan area. And I see PJ was moved! And whaleman said he doesn't recall seeing a big block with three carbs—to show you how little I know, I thought 'three carbs' was 3 types of bread (lol) (pitiful!)...It's a big ocean of activity. And if my math is right, I'm faving this as 1200. Someone has to acknowledge it even if you underplayed it!
