Over the top


Everything about this photo is figuratively over the top except the tree,
and it's literally over the top of the second car.

  1. The tree is the best thing for me in this photo - both the car and model are too over the top to work for me! This is a good, fun series, Jerry. You keep surprising and delighting us each day.

  2. The posing trunks were most certainly purchased at the same time as the car. By that time, trunks were in invert ratio to the tail fins... they were getting smaller as the fins were getting bigger.

  3. That's bodybuilder Reg Lewis. And I'm fairly certain the photo is from Russ Warner. Beautiful car.
