Lakes Pipes


This morning I realized that some poor benighted souls may not know what Lakes Pipes are, so I decided to correct that problem with a picture. I had a devil of a time finding an acceptable picture. This one is adequate, but it's not really what the latest style was back in 1961 when I was ten years old. The trunk lid on the '61's were at least a couple of feet longer than they were in '58. To my ten-year-old-eye, this car looks truncated.
     Most car pictures are shot on the diagonal so you can see the end and the side, but if you really want to appreciate the pipes, you need a straight on side shot. And then there's the backgrounds. Many car photos are shot at shows and the backgrounds are horrendous. It's understandable if it's not your car, you shoot what you can, but that doesn't explain the pictures done by owners. It's like they don't even see the background. Sad state of affairs.
