We're both falling apart

Yesterday I re-visited a favorite photo site of mine...an auto salvage yard
with a lot of 30s, 40s, and 50s automobiles. I've photographed this one
before, but I have an affinity for it since it was born in the same year
that I was born: 1938. We are both in roughly the same shape, but
I have yet to turn rusty.

A little noisy because I didn't want to use flash and shot hand-held,
but the grain seems rather appropriate for the both of us.

    Terrific shot, Tony. I remember the last time you tangled with this beauty. Your accomplishment this time around is equally as good as the last.thumb.gif

    Take care,

    Love the Art Deco steering wheel and dashboard. I also love that era's sculpted beauty in automobiles. The grain works well for this one. Great shot, Tony.

    Thanks for the comments on this. I have a love affair
    going with old cars, and I'm glad to see others appreciate
    the memorialization of their charm.

    Howdy Tony,

    Really love this one, I think it's my Favorite one of your.

    The Gritty look and feel that the grain gives is perfect for
    the interior to match.

    Very nicely done !!!
    Take care,

    I think it's perfect, Tony! The car may not look like it did when the dealer had it but it lets you know it had a full, rich history.

    Oh man, I wish I could photograph that, but the way you did it, I feel like I was there. Awesomely done. Love your tasteful treatment in post-processing. 5 out of 5 stars.
