Thanks,Cee. It’s sad to see it sitting out in the weeds rusting away. Made me want to take it home and restore it.

Stunning mono which really work with this one Jake.

Thanks, Gary. I came this close to doing it in sepia but like the higher contrast capable in B&W.
Paola Svensson

What a nice shot. We had a Buck-Toothed Buick when I was a kid.

Thanks, Kay! You were lucky – We had a Nash – {grin}

I thought the Nash was wonderful – seats that folded down… and that sloped back. The preacher had one. LOL
R. Mike "Jake"... replied

Good thing dad and mum didn’t know what their fair-haired boy was doing with those fold-down seats – LOL

Oh, did I forget to mention that I WAS the preacher’s son – ROTF, LOL

Oh what a shame that they are rusting away, great detail and light and lovely in B&W. Well done on the feature in the Rusty crusty and falling apart group
