1969 Camaro SS, Bay Area

from Michael Moore: "1969, year of Woodstock [I saw it on the TV news in a bar in Yellow Springs, Ohio, traveling from Connecticut to San Francisco with a band called the Anonymous Artists of America]; Altamont [I was there, with my future first wife Jeanne Rose] and yet, the only thing of lasting value, Camaros like these..."

Kevin Everson and the Opel Kadett

...."Currently a fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, Everson has been celebrated as one of the leading experimental filmmakers working in the United States today. In Germany, he was planning on shooting segments of a new single-channel film. The piece, inspired by his upbringing in industrial Mansfield, Ohio, centers around an Opel Kadett C 3. The artist’s father, a former auto mechanic, had brought home the car for Everson and his older brother, kindling his original fascination with this particular model. “I just always wanted to do a film about an Opel car.” he explains. When Everson heard that the cars were originally bought in Panama and Germany, and shipped to the United States, the idea for his new film was born. “I thought maybe if I filmed something in Panama and filmed something in Germany and have this car there, I can make this conceptual connection to these objects,” he says, explaining the grander project. Earlier this year, he spent four days at the Panama Canal, capturing its lock and dam system, and preparing to continue his work in Berlin..." from Art in the Time of Corona, American Academy in Berlin   

1959 Pontiac Catalina Window Rock Arizona

 While shooting a documentary on the Navajo Reservation a few years back, the D.P. Ute Briesewitz did some coverage on this '59 Pontiac Catalina for me. You know that AL has a thing for the '59 Catalina of all cars.
