This past Easter Sunday, I attended the annual Easter Sunday Classic Car Show and Parade in the town of Garden City, New York on Long Island. There was close to 1,000 cars at the show ranging in years from the 1900's up to 2017, every make and model from muscle cars, low riders, rat hot rods, the classics and your 50's and 60's racing machines. The show started at 10:00 am and the parade followed at exactly 1:00 pm until there was no more cars left to come out onto the street. I was able to get some great photos of the various cars at the show even though it was crowded and there were so many beautiful cars to photograph, but that is why I got there so early. The best part about the day was the parade because of the close to 1,000 cars in the show about 500 participated in the parade and they came out nice and slow so everyone could get photos of their favorite cars. When I saw this mint condition 1969 Dodge Super Bee coming out of the parking lot I got my camera all ready because this was a car I had been waiting for. Just as it began to rev its engine it stopped right in front of me and I was able to get an excellent angle shot of this 1969 beauty with its sleek body style and the four lights on the very narrow grill along the insignia of the Super Bee on the rear panels of the car. In addition, this beauty had a black verticle pin stripe running on the rear panel on each side of the car. The car like most from this era was a two door with a hard top with an excellent choice of wheels to make it look even better.
