SEMA Heritage—Car Craft Photo Tips From ’64

Thu, 05/07/2015 - 15:06

The equipment may have changed, but many of the tips laid out in this October 1964 issue of Car Craft magazine are still worthwhile for anyone interested in taking better pictures of their cars.

The date on the photo job for this story was July 1964, making the subject Mustang a new car. The California hard license plate and Galpin Ford plate frame suggest that it was not a press vehicle but instead belonged to one of the staffers, as does the fact that the galloping pony and its corral have been removed from the grille.
