I had no idea that such a revolutionary design was used so long ago. Your view point for this picture does it justice.

The curved lines you accented with your point of view makes a great contrast with the straight lines in the background. Nice work! V

Sweeping lines and car jewelry in gleaming chrome -- red as fire;
meant to be an art form. It succeeds. So does your capture of it, Tom!
