If that's Laporte, IN, that's the 'salty' environment that Horrie survived, thanks to
some conscientious ownership and maintenance.

He did not survive rust-free, however, but he survived the 'war'.

How about a continental kit, dual fake exhausts on both sides, fender skirts, dual antennas and a police searcher light?
That chubby is quite "little" compared to most of the chubby ragtops.

Its a fairly well known fact that GM's head of design, Harley Earl was a lover of chrome, the more the better.

the bloated 57 nose made to use the quad headlights, the puckered axxhole fin/rear end treatment .....
It just goes on and on !

I will never understand how this car was given away, let alone sold for retail money. What an aesthetic

I just love it when Chevy guys try to tell me how "less than cool" Mopars were/are.

That might give a better result. In good natural light, but not in the sun, put the pic on the floor and hold the camera dead centre over it.

A larger scan would be good. Set your scanner dpi setting to 300 for a good resolution photo scan. This will give you a large image,
but the size of an image can be reduced later in Photoshop or your favorite image manipulator.

On the other hand, a small image cannot be enlarged too much without pixelation.

Taking a picture of a picture is not the optimal way to get a good copy of an image. That is what
you do when you see it in the wild, on a wall in a restaurant for instance, and want to save it for posterity.

This image of a 55 Plymouth and a 57 Dodge is not the greatest, but is the best I could do.
I found it on the wall at a Hardees Restaurant in central Mississippi.

And with practice you can learn to get results as good as a scanner of regular photo prints.
