The roof line on the Satellite was an eye-catcher. Nice angular lines, stylish for the day and still look good.
Good shot, Kim.

Love this photo. My older brother had a red one with the 318 ci engine. It was an amazing vehicle. I think it was Motor Trend’s Car of the Year for 1965.

Kim, your images are frequently a walk down memory lane for me. This Plymouth is an exception? I graduated HS in 1965 and like most kids, cars were a passion back then. I’m going to do some digging since I don’t recall even knowing the Satellite existed, although it obviously did. Thanks for sharing…..
"She drove a Plymouth Satellite, faster than the speed of light"...The B52's. LOL.
Very nice looking car.
JMO but with all the "add ons" and electronics they are putting on these new cars those older cars are going to be in even bigger demand.
I am an owner and a big fan of 2017 Mini Cooper S but the 2024 version stinks.

This Plymouth was shot on a clear, sunny day (which is typical of most car shows). Shot at ISO 200, 1/250th/sec., at f 11. That's about where I like to stay. Depending on time of day & cloud cover, I might up the ISO to 640 or more if needed. I can go as low as 1/60th second, if needed. For aperture, I like to stay in the f 7.1- f 18 range.
Also, I like to get about 10-15 feet back from the car, but that's not always possible. That lowers the distortion of the features of the car. I also like to shoot from lower than normal standing eye-level. Almost everyone else shoots from there.
Some examples below. You have to look around. If you really like the car, ask people to SHUT that hood! You'll be amazed at how people will willingly & gladly do that if you show interest in their car.
This is a typical shot from the average car show shooter.

How many do you think would get THIS shot?

Great shots!
Your comment and pics show why I only shoot a couple like the '57 Chevy when I go. Most of the shows around here have them set up so close together that it's nearly impossible to get a shot without crowds, other cars, or lawn chairs. I've been concentrating on the detail shots and alternative viewpoints.
I too graduated in '65. We had a reason in our town to be keenly aware of the Mopar muscle cars even though most of us drove Fords and Chevys. I belonged to a car club that produced many local trophy winners at the local drag strips, but none so successful as "Mr. Mopar", Bud Faubel. A member of the NHRA Hall of Fame, Mopar Hall of Fame, and East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame he was a real-life local hero all through the sixties when he racked up national records in several classes in his various Dodges known as the "Honker". Good memories.

So... in addition to not hurting the eyes, they could move, as well?

Beautiful photo (and subject).
