I got my calendars and I am very pleased with them. All the cars look great, and this year the pictures looked very professional. I even had to order more because some of my friends who really aren't car people thought the calendar featured really "cool" cars and had to have one.
After seeing the early 1968 commercial clip of the GT/CS on the beach, I just had to have a picture with the ocean in the background. Cocoa Beach and the beaches up and down the "Space Coast" don't allow vehicles on the sand. So I found a place that I could get close to the sand with the ocean in the background. There was only one place I could find to do this and there are broken palm trees off to the side. It would have to do, it really is a shame how the Florida coast is still broken up after getting hit with 3 Major hurricanes during 2004. After 6 different car positions and about 50 different shots I figured I had enough, and went to leave. As I went to leave the rear tires sunk in and just spun, I tried to slowly back up but just went deeper, I got out to check the rear and I was in pretty deep already. So I dumped the rear tire pressures down to maybe 10 PSI, and my good old track loc got me out. Whew... no need to call Auto club. There was a gas station a block away, so I filled the tires back up and went home and hoped for the best. Out of 50 shots, one looked right so I submitted and hoped for the best. Thank you all who voted for my old war horse to grace a month in our calendar. The next week I was driving down the coast and went by the place where I shot the pic, and there was a fence up. If I had waited a week longer that picture would never have been shot. Timing is everything sometimes.
Once again, thank you Jon. You did a great job putting this together and without you a California/High Country Special calendar would never exist. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you.
Another special thanks you to all who submitted a picture, your photography skills really show the true beauty, style, and grace of a forgotten and now resurrected Ford Mustang.
