For more than 60 years Motor Trend Magazine has been the “Bible” of auto publications. In 1949 they started their annual practice of doing a multi-page spread on their “Car of the Year”. The first was the 1949 Cadillac, due primarily to its post-war styling and, more importantly, the fact it was powered by a new OHV V-8 engine and an improved Hydra-matic transmisison. The magazine has decided to do a commemorative on the 1949 Cadillac and they have chosen my 49 Coupe as the featured car. Obviously, I’m excited about this and had a full day of shooting at the Muckenthaler Museum in Fullerton, Calif. The cover story was in the January 2010 issue. Below is my own photo, taken unfortunately during a drizzly day in 2009.
