"I thought, how can the museum bring in more kids and that non-target audience and make it more like Disneyland, where the whole family goes and the kids have something to do besides look at their faces in the chrome wheels," Anthony said. "The faces -- it's something everyone can relate to."<br /><br />The car photographed here is a 1951 Studebaker Starlight Coupe.

Nothing flashy."<br /><br />Anthony and an assistant shot the photos before the museum opened, using lighting and lenses that accentuated the facial aspects of each vehicle -- headlights as eyes, grill as mouth.

<strong>1961 Chrysler 300G:</strong> Anthony called this The Secretary, "straight out of 'Mad Men.' She even has horn-rimmed glasses." <br /><br />Anthony was inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Cars" and the Instagram hashtag #ISeeFaces. He shot the portraits with a wide-angle lens, using two strobe lights that hit the front of the vehicle. Everything else faded to black.

<strong>1909 Hupmobile Model 20 Roadster: </strong>Or "Gramps," as Anthony called it. "Did you know a quart of oil only cost a nickel in his day? No? Well, he'll tell you. Repeatedly."<br /><br />Anthony said he is always looking for the human side of his subjects, whether <a href="index.php?page=&url=https%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fp%2F3rQYf3HzuC%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">that's a cat</a> or a <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wmanthony.com%2FPERSONAL-WORK%2FDisplay-Models%2F1" target="_blank" target="_blank">department-store mannequin</a>. When he was a kid, he loved to think of his dad's '57 Pontiac as a crotchety old man living in the garage.
