Super Nova


I'm not a "car person" by nature but every once in a while I'll see a vehicle that captures my fancy as a subject to photograph. It's usually of an older vintage, the finish faded and splotched with oxidation. However, in this case, it was the model and bright orange color, racing stripes and mag wheels that got my attention. This Chevy Nova - I'm guessing about a 1975 - stood out due to the fact that it's somewhat of an anomaly in this town.  Subaru Foresters, Outbacks and Toyota Priuses rule here - Muscle cars or their pretenders are few and far between.  All this explains why I felt compelled to hoist my camera and document this rare sighting.
