Once called "the poor man’s BMW” by Autoweek’s G.D. Levy, the
Datsun 510 is a well-engineered and affordable car that has remained popular among automotive enthusiasts for many years. Avid collectors of this car can be found around the world and one in particular is
John Paul “JP” Dagsaan from the San Francisco Bay area.
I first met JP at the
Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) two years ago in Irvine. I expressed an interest in shooting the car; however, due to the fact that JP was planning on driving back to the Bay area that same night, we were unable to set anything up.

Antonio Alvendia at the
Concorso Ferrari, where the streets of
Old Town Pasadena were closed down and overrun by tons of gorgeous, shiny Ferraris as far as the eye could see.
We don't normally attend these types of events to shoot coverage for our website, but since this all happened right next to where Antonio lives, we figured we should check it out.
