What I wouldn’t give to have a job like this: article at Freep.com<\/a>
\nWhen I was a kid, I kept a close eye on the local Chevy, Dodge, and Ford dealerships. Every fall I would ride my gold metal flake Schwinn stingray bike with the banana seat to their showrooms. I would peruse the showrooms to get an up close and personal look at the newest models. Especially the Camaros, Mustangs, and Chargers. I was an absolute fanatic about hijacking the brochures and going home and dreaming about owning those great cars. I would even break out the pencil and paper and trace them so that I could color them the way I wanted to see them. If life took a different course, I probably would have been a spy photographer. Not the kind that work for agencies like the CIA. The kind of spy photographer that Jim Dunne<\/a> is. Imagine snapping photos of cars not yet seen or heard of. Cars that only kids like I was would dream about. Forty years later, I still get giddy when I get a chance to see what is in store for the future. It is an exciting time for me. Being one who loves American automotive designs from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. The last 5 years have seen a revival for GM and Ford. Maybe the financial aspect doesn’t indicate that. The design certainly does. I am especially excited about the new Camaro coming next year. I know I won’t be able to afford to have one in my driveway. Just the chance to go to my local Chevy dealer and look, touch, and smell it is good enough for me. Oh, yeah, and snag a brochure!<\/p>\n
