Smalltown USA

Smalltown USA

Captured this antique Ford being serviced in Williams, Arizona. Eddie’s Tires is located right on historic Route 66.
I like seeing old cars still in their pre-restored state, and this one was a beauty! Almost felt you were driving down Rt.66 in it’s hayday, and this would have been a common sight.
This is an HDR image, then applied the dodge & burn technique which I just learnt about and just had to try.
