Hi Norm,
Now that is a beginning of new life for the automobile. Countless hours of restoration for the new owner as well . Of course the b/w suites the image well. :)

Thanks Chris! B/W and sometimes selective color helps to eliminate distractions at the car shows and auctions. I did take a few b/w film shots there, but I haven't developed them yet.

Thanks Wendi! I expect it will involve a team of people to complete this job! One of the reasons they sell for six figures.

Thanks Valerie! I like using HDR in the low contrast settings. It makes the image much more three dimensional.

Cool vintage car and the beginning of lots of work for the new owner!

Thanks Dida! Seems like an odd fellow ... he married a couple of times after Amelia was pronounced dead and went on to run a resort in Death Valley and write books about plants.

There were some in worse condition that sold there! Someone must have a stash of parts! There are pictures of some pristine examples being lost to WWII scrap drives.
