52 Amazing Shots of Classic Cars
By Radwa Samir | November 3, 2009 | Posted in Inspirations | 16 Comments
If you can look to a classic car from the golden years parking next to a new one, you will notice how the auto design trend has changed through the years. When recent auto design focus more on functionality, economy and security factors, the early cars designs have been focusing about the design and the artwork in the car body ore that the functions inside the car, this is why these classic cars still got its affect inside us especially for people who appreciate the effort spent in designing these cars and building the monsters behind it.
The early 1950th and 1960th cars used to focus on the alot of details in the car body, which affects the car speed and driving flexibility. But this has changed in the 70th when the world was looking for more speed cars and bigger space inside the car. Both trends have produced amazing auto design concepts and artwork run in the streets for years and still running for some well-kept classic cars.
Merging between both the art of photography and auto design can produce wonderful photography artwork that tell about the great classic cars design story through the history, no matter if these classic cars are shown in a gallery in a big city or parked on a far away deserted farm, but the beauty of the effect is the same and will never change. However, I would like to share with you some of the amazing classic cars photos that merge between both artworks.

Some marques has general design guide along the years and car models with changing the small details from a model to another. However, when you look to the car models along the years, you will find some thing similar in the design that remark this car than other marques.
One of these marques is the Prosche car design which kept its own style so you can easily recongnize the Porsche cars whatever it is model and year of make.
