Guess whose 1955 Chevrolet Belair Coupe this is! Hint #1: The owner is one of the Inspirations' best buddies. Hint #2: His wife likes to jog, and that's her in the distance in the next pic below. Hint #3: We think she's a very special lady! Hint #4: A lot of SGM fans think she's pretty special, too!
Hint #5: We think he must be, too, to drive this pure vintage car in from another state the evening before the shoot! (get it? PURE VINTAGE! LOL) For a graphic answer, CLICK HERE
Who says photoshoots are easy? Actually, the morning's work was hot, but otherwise relatively painless as Wendy and her crew worked quickly and professionally to make the boys look as good as possible. They provided plenty of towels to keep the ole bearhunter's head-shine at a minimum and plenty of bottled water to replace the shine! LOL
