Old Boy Toys
This was one of the most interesting photo shoot I have been on in Germany a car collectors nightmare to say the least!
But in a sad way these one time wonderful autos were sitting with a certain regal poise waiting for me to give them the respect that they deserved.
I hope you enjoy these cars the way I do every time I look at them and now you can have them too!

A brilliant calendar, David. Wonderful old cars. December’s pretty fierce. Agnes:)
David Roman replied
Thats a Killer car you really needed to see it in person it was wonderful!
Such a shame! But I got its soul here so I did all I could to save it!
Glad you like it too!
Kate Adams
Great calendar David,wonderful images, I love old classic cars thats a failing I have..wonderful to look back on though!!!
David Roman replied
Yea they bring back memories of a better time ! Doors open at night friends sitting on the porch telling lies and having fun and mom in the kitchen cooking and offering security.
Thats what I think about when I look at them and then I see my dad driving me to the saturday movies with my sisters to get us out the house for their time alone!HAHA gone all day. I guess we se the same things!
mimi yoon
i love this collection… not because i’m into cars but because you turn them into art…
David Roman replied
Thank you MiMI I think they had a style back when these were made that was easy to see as art. And now that fine style has gone . But it had its time so like its day its part of the past. And I mixed it up a little to say I remember you.
Jane Keats
I love these shots David, beautiful autos and wonderful perspective you give them. It makes me a little sad, I love older cars. I would really love to know the story behind why they were all abandoned there!
David Roman replied
The owner was a race car driver in Germany nice guy a little different in his thinking so he made a front yard of these autos for him to see every day. Quite funny on one side and sad on the other. They really need to be pimped up!
Jane Keats
PS, I think this is a brilliant calendar, something different, a great idea David, to use these shots!
David Roman replied
Thank you Miss Spy girl thats sweet too.
Shanina Conway

David Roman replied

Leslie Battjes
Oh, I really love this! I don’t remember seeing these before, but they are wonderful :) So, the question is, are they toys for old boys or are the boys’ toys old?? LOL! ;-P
David Roman replied

Hi David, this is a really cool collection of old cars. You do them great justice. If they were a living entity I know they would say “THANK YOU DAVID”. Hugz
David Roman replied
One of them did tell me that! LOL Thanks my friend!
4spotmore
They do have a charm of their own. Perhaps I should jazz up the Lada & put it on display in my front yard?.. great work.
David Roman replied
