The problem is finding a way to photograph it in a bare static display in a totally non-aesthetic settingwithout just repeating fifteen other guys' shots.... I don't think I found that shot, but I like the car so I had to put SOMETHING in the set. (Yeah, I play favorites. There were a bunch of truly magnificent cars in the show that I appreciated without liking... so they got skipped over. 125 cars isn't a really BIG show but it does make for an excessively large gallery.)
