Re: Old Cars
Good show of the old cars!
Shows how enthusiastic you all are with the vintage side of these machines; definitely some hard work was spent for the shaping and the engine of these cars.
Thanks for sharing everyone!
Valery, are you participating in a contest of some sort in that amphicar shot? Why the pool of water and why go through it?
Nice shots, by the way.

Re: Old Cars
As Doc said above, I have a number of images of old cars, partially because I like them, and partially because I have taken quite afew images as a volunteer worker for an annual concours that raises money for the local public library.
Here are a few of these images.
In this case, all of the images are of radiator caps or hood ornaments of older cars.

Re: Old Cars
Here are some images of various older cars that have a common theme of speed.
However, the most prominent vehicle in the first of the images is not very fast . . .

PS:
In the second image, the McLaren MK-6 coupe is supposedly a conversion from the racing MK-6 chassis rather than a version purpose-built for the street.
It was also supposedly Bruce McLaren's personal car, occasionally driven on the street by him.

Re: Old Cars
Fabulous collection of pictures Tom. I think I like the red Jag next to the McLaren the best. I understand that 'red' ones go faster?
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

That may well be my favorite image also. When I saw the opportunity to get that photo, I waited for over 20 minutes for people to move away from in front of it so I could capture the image.

Re: Old Cars
It was a just a fun and good time with my grandchildren. The owner of the amphicar collected the money for the people with Parkinson disease, we did some support as well. The guy actually did lot of splashes when diving into the Red River. More photo on Flickr.aster wrote:Good show of the old cars!

Re: Old Cars
Here's an old mid 60's D Type Jaguar racer I ran across in a garage in FL last year. It was surrounded by piles of junk so the only way I could get a decent print was to isolate it with PS.

Re: Old Cars
Since the images in my last post had a common thread of speed, here are some images that share a common thread of "very little speed".
