I just found a car owner using my photo of their car on a Hagerty article... that's pretty cool!

the original is in this gallery of E Bodies at the 2012 Mopars at the Strip (Las Vegas) https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/05/barracuda-and-challenger-cragars-and.html

Hagerty was doing an article on rims, https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/05/01/11-of-the-best-wheel-designs and left out the most popular ones... because the writer missed the fucking target. It was turbofans, Fuchs Porsche, minilites, BBS for Subaru, wire wheels on Jags... you know, some elitist bullshit for concours snobs that have some delivery company move their investment from the garage collection in Bel Air to Pebble Beach.

They left out everything Cragar ever made. Seriously, how the fuck do you pretend to have a fucking clue about rims, and make an article without any mention of Cragar? No where did they have the Chevy Rallye, or the Magnum 500, or slotted mags - the kidney bean 60s classics, anything with the word Halibrand, etc.

I like Hagerty as an insurance company, and they've been doing great work on their magazine for 11 or 12 years now... but they've got a perspective on the car world that ignores the existence of cars that aren't professionally detailed.

Sidenote in followup, I find they did an article on "Mag Wheels" that is a thorough look at all the stock rims on American made cars. It's quite thorough, however... when you compare the titles of the articles, they snobbed out with "best wheel designs" and when it comes to the best looking most popular rims of all time, that article is a Mag Wheel Field Guide. See the stark difference? And they called an article on factory styled steel wheels "Mag Wheels" which exposes their lack of understanding of what mag wheels (not a common term) or mags, slotted mags, magnesium rims - are.

What's most remarkable, is that the author of the best wheel designs ignored the Lamborghini Miura rims by Campagnalo.

and until I looked back into my photos of Miuras, I hadn't realized there were two varieties. I love the gold design more.

yes, I've been spoiled ridiculously by being able to go to Southern Californian car shows of all kinds to get photos of Miuras. The gold was at Bobileff's showroom, the silver was at the Art Center College of Pasadena annual show
