Hawaiian Gardens Blues

While attending the City of Hawaiian Gardens car show, I encountered a two-tone blue 1948 Fleetline that appeared remarkably familiar. The owner was seated at the wheel and, upon noticing my approach with my tripod and camera, promptly exited the vehicle and closed the door. I suspected that this might be the same car I had photographed at the Pomona Auto Swap Meet earlier this year and subsequently posted on my website. I swiftly located the post on my mobile device, presented it to the owner, and inquired whether it indeed corresponded to the vehicle I had previously captured. He confirmed its identity and expressed his admiration for the photographs.

To facilitate the owner’s access to the images of his car, I guided him to my website on his phone, enabling him to download the photographs. Once this task was completed, I proceeded to capture several sets of photographs of the car in its current surroundings. The owner then proceeded to share the photographs I had taken at Pomona with his acquaintances from the La Puente car club. The photo below is one of the shots I took on this day in Hawaiian Gardens.
