Parked Portraits

Pleasingly parked cars. I share my love of car design, architecture & photography here. I love pre-1980ish vehicles, when design trumped gas mileage.

Mostly San Francisco scenes. I usually create a couple portraits a week, and I've got almost 200 in the vault that I'll post weekly. I hope you enjoy!

1979 Mercedes W116 in front of the spa at Indian Springs. Wish I’d noticed the front window was down. Will have to fix in post 🪄✨

1955 Chevy Bel Air in Turquoise 💚🩵 This one discovered by Lueck who tipped me off with the location. I’ll be going back regularly to find out if it lives there or was just visiting. Thanks, Lueck!!!

I finally met the owner of this gem. Another original owner who lives in the area. I’ve also waited years for a cool car to be parked in front of this cute bungalow. It’s not a legal spot—she hopped out for just a minute—so this was another one of those 🧚‍♀️ moments. ✨✨✨

We saw this 1951 Chevy 3100 after doing a little self-guided Stand By Me tour in Brownsville this weekend. We even met two members of the Benevolent Order of Antelopes 😅

1963, my favorite year for cars.

Pretty dark mood this weekend with the terrible news out of Iran and the actions of the US government, both overseas and domestically. I can usually compartmentalize, but this was too much all at once. Kevin and I watched Inglorious Basterds last night. We were in the mood for some N**i hunting.
