Dick’s Cars

From a series of phographs taken at Dick’s Classic Garage, San Marcos, Texas. Dick Burdick, the owner has assembled the most gorgeous cars ever made in the USA, mostly from the ’30s to the ’60s. I used my tiny Nikon V3, with the wonderful 32mm 1.2 (85mm equivalent) for most of these to enhance the bonnet mascots and beautiful lines of the cars.
