This issue’s featured car is the ‘68 Firebird 400 convertible of Jim McCarty of Palm Springs, California. Here is his story:

I am a happy owner of a ‘68 Firebird 400 convertible, and I thought I would share some pictures of my car. These pictures are a little different from the normal ones you see. No green lawns, and well kept houses.

I have owned the car for about 25 years, and it’s our daily ride when we live here in Palm Springs California in the winter season.

The somewhat unique thing about my car, is that it has an agent, and does a fair amount of advertising, commercial work, and photo shoots in and around the Southern California deserts and ghost towns. I have worked with clients ranging from high brow ad agencies with household brands, to adult film producers. It’s always different, fun and oh, interesting....

Here are some pictures recently taken at a photo shoot for an Australian fashion brand at a deserted gas station at Salton Sea, CA-about 140 miles east of Los Angeles.

Hope you enjoy them!
