The Back End Caught My Eye

Upon initially observing this automobile at the Chicano Park car show held within the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego, I was initially hesitant to capture its image. However, my perspective shifted when I positioned myself at the rear of the vehicle and noticed the custom-repurposed 1959 Cadillac taillights. While I have encountered similar modifications in the past, I consistently find myself captivated by the craftsmanship and design that emerge from incorporating elements not originally intended for the vehicle in question.

It is important to acknowledge that this automobile possessed exceptional beauty, with its paintwork being flawless and its chromed parts exuding a spectacular appearance. Nevertheless, it was situated in close proximity to a 1959 Impala whose design and prominent horizontal arcing tail fins hold a greater appeal for me.
