I believe this photo of the 1966 Chevrolet was taken with a view camera. What I notice in this photo is that the camera is in back of the car and yet the rear tire is still perfectly round.The film plane is positioned nearly parallel with the side of the car and the lens is pointed directly at the center of the car. This avoids the foreshortening the length of the car and as a result it also looks lower. Used correctly it can increase depth of field. | |||||||||||||||||

| An illustrator's rendering of a 1966 Bonneville using a view camera for it's basis. In this view the photo plane was positioned to enhance the width of the car, rather than the length. At least that's my take on it. | ||||||||||||||||||
