my current background

notice the name on the tower

This was shot by master drag photographer Jere Alhadeff. Its the L.A. Dart driven by Bill Shrewsberry. This was at Keith Black's engine shop, I believe in South Gate, just off the Long Beach Freeway.
The guys in the suits in the background were Chrysler big-wigs here for an open house at Black's shop. One of the "suits" asked Shrewsberry "whats this thing do?". Bill asked the guy if he wanted to go for a ride up the street, and the guys said "sure".
Jere took this photo as Shrewsberry pulled the wheels up in front of the shop, all the while, the "suit" from Chrysler was holding on to the roll cage no longer wondering..."whats this thing do?
