Under the Digital Knife – Kevin Trower Re-imagines the Classics

Mike Burroughs

While StanceWorks is home to many facets of the automotive world, it's the obscure and unique that often pique our excitement. Our friend and photographer, Kevin Trower, shares these same interests - however, he takes things one interesting and beautiful step forward. Over the past few months, Kevin has spent his time splicing, blending, merging, and chopping together a collection of photoshopped classics, ranging from vintage Subarus to iconic Cadillacs, each with their own humorous and unique style. As each photo made its way to his personal blog, I found my excitement growing more and more, yearning for the chance to share his creations with our community.

Each car has received its own set of wheels and a suitable stance, ranging from low-riding land-yachts to poked econoboxes. The massaged classic ads and dated press images culminate into a sort of "visualized day dream" of what we only wish we could get our hands on. Kevin has taken a wider view, toying with cars few acknowledge and fewer love, instead of the run-of-the-mill sports coupes of the '90s through now. Each car is sure to leave you with a smile; photos are worth 1000 words, and photoshopped classic car ads are worth a little bit more. Enjoy.
