1964 Custom Impala

A very well done, highly customized 1964 Chevrolet Impala was in the alley downtown, where a modeling agency was using it as a prop for a photo shoot. They had finished the photo shoot by the time I was leaving the office, but the car was still there. When the owner saw me walking up with my camera, he told me to please take as many photos as I would like. He took me around the car and explained some of the details, and the cost of the various engravings, all done by hand — only $50,000 dollars for the engraving on the chrome on the rear end and spare tire cover in the last photo.

Death Car

The death car is a regular in the Dia de los Muertos Parade in November and there it was in Corrales’ 4th of July Parade. It’s quite distinctive and reminds me of the Adams Family. At least the driver is well prepared in case he ends up “coffin ready” on the streets of Albuquerque.
