USAF Dawn Patrol Vintage Cars

IMG_5821_HDRImagine my surprise, having driven to Dayton to see some vintage airplanes, only to find a phenomenal collection of WW I-vintage cars on display, as well.  What a great bonus!

Like any static display, I look for the shapes and patterns that defined these cars, and like other car shows, I’ve tried to do so in a way that makes these photos about the cars more than about the hustle & bustle of the show itself.  Luckily, these old carriages are just packed with spectacularly-intricate details.
