Mini Challenge #316 - Old Cars or Trucks - Restored or As New
It always irritates me when people take photos of old rusty deteriorating cars or trucks. Even though they are very photogenic rusting away. So this mini is about Old Cars that have been restored or they haven't been allowed to deteriorate. They don't have to be very old but I'd rather they be older than 20 years old. And you can also use photos of cars that were taken when they were new but 20 years ago. My preference is for cars made between 1930 and 1970. Three of your best photos of cars or trucks. The mini will run until Saturday April 17th. 6 pm Eastern Daylight Time.

I am certainly not into cars as much as the next person, but I do have a few that are restored.

2 Apple Red, was found on display at Marriot in Dana Point California

Love the woodie - even has surf boards
Love this subject - I am a big fan of the earlier vehicle design- especially the fat-fender era (40's) and before. Here are my entries.
1) This is Daisy - our 1941 Chevrolet Deluxe - with a little added flaming.
2) A friend's 1939 Buick
3) A 1938 Delahaye 135 MS (Tours, France)
These are not for the mini, but wanted to brag on Daisy.
This is Daisy's engine area:

and this is a portrait of Daisy done by our friend and pro photog Dave Koontz (Fat Kat Photography)

Absolutely brag on Daisy - glad I got to see her
I don't take many pictures of cars, so I had to dig a bit for these. A couple were taken with my first, 2 MP digital camera.
Ford Model A Roadster

Model A Convention

1936 Cord 810 Westchester sedan, "Moonshadow"

This was taken at the Auburn, Cord, Deusenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. I really liked the looks of this car but I couldn't get a view without the crowd control ropes or signs. So I settled for this "I'm about to die" cropped view. I don't know if museum shots are really within the intent of the challenge, but I was out of options.
Cars as sculpture - Museum shots are absolutely within the challenge. The red Plymouth in my post was in a museum
Here's a few from the Woodward Cruise here in Michigan.

I've never seen an umbrella over an engine before.
Great subject for a mini.

I had been hoping to get some photos of the cars in Cuba - since I haven't been able to go.
