Step back in time to 1950's Americana - home of big cars, drive in restaurants, and carhops in roller skates.

Best viewed large for all the retro details. :)

@elaine55 Hi Elaine, You are sweet to ask. Thank you! I like the work but am struggling with balancing everything else. The needs of children and home remain with fewer hours in the day. That is the biggest adjustment for me. I do get to work from home which is (mostly) a plus and can determine my own hours for the most part so hopefully, I will get into a rhythm where it all seems to work OK with minimal stress. Thanks again for asking!
September 17th, 2013  
looks fantastic!
September 17th, 2013  
Lovely vintage picture! :-)
September 17th, 2013  
Great picture! My husband and son would love the car...lol
September 17th, 2013  
Great retro shot. Hope the new job is going well, and you're managing to keep all the balls in the air!
September 17th, 2013  
Wow very vintage, was this just chance or some reenactment? Amazing
September 17th, 2013  
If the car was about 15 years older it would look like a Norman Rockwell painting. Great nostalgic look.
September 17th, 2013  
@lucypics Thank you, Lucy. This was the real deal. This old drive in restaurant is known as "Home to the Hot Rods". It's a meeting place for owners of vintage cars. It's where I took yesterday's shot of the '52 Chevy. They play up the retro theme and with all the old cars parked there, it really feels like you stepped back in time!
September 17th, 2013  
Such a cool shot with so much interest. I can image this on a billboard
September 17th, 2013  
absolutely love the vintage look!!
September 17th, 2013  
love the retro feel to this! where's my poodle skirt? FUN shot!
September 17th, 2013  
Wonderful atmosphere here, so retro and those tones are just to die for! I feel like sayiing this is very delicious shot, it almost looks like good enough to eat and I don´t mean the burgers there.
September 17th, 2013  
Oh, I want to visit! So cool, so retro and so much wonderful detail to look at. A must view large.
September 17th, 2013  
Excellent job! You've captured the 50's feeling!
September 17th, 2013  
Great shot! Love the feel of it. I love that the car even has a USA license plate on it.

So retro! Love the car. :)

@suesmith Thank you so much for that nice pat on the back, Sue! I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water at the moment. I am heartened to know you don't think my project has suffered yet though. I'm sure things will settle into a groove with time. Again, thanks for your kind words and support.
