If you're taking the road less traveled it's best to do so in a vehicle rarely traveled in. After all, some say "how you get there is more important that where you're going." I think the owner of this 57 Chevy would agree.

I guess this is one of those things... Made perfect sense to me when I entered it, but then as I logged in to vote the next day I went... "That's totally not going to fit". Lol. Oh well... Live and learn.

The photo is a 10. But for the challenge I'm having to struggle to understand 'Less Traveled'. I'm sure that suckers been around the block a time or two in it's lifetime unless it's been a Trailer Queen all it's life!?!?!?!

I would have liked better focus across the front of the car.. Not just the headlight/bumper area..

Well preserved by keeping off the road? I quite like this but I think the focus fades off a bit too soon.
