Back in 2002 when this shot was taken, it took a while for my camera to start up. I saw this classic 1962 Chrysler Imperial coming down the street and reached for my camera. I was able to pull of these two shots. This car certainly represents the American car of the 60s. It would not fair well in Europe where the streets are often narrower. Also, gas was about 40 cents a gallon back then so this driver/collector must spend a few dollars every time he starts the car. The collectors call the faux spare tire on the rear deck the “toilet seat”. Here is a link to an interesting website about the Chrysler Imperial cars of that era.
