Old Cars

I wasn’t as happy with the treatment of these as I was with the Jaguar shot, but thought they were worth sharing anyway.

I liked the spokes on this. The car was pristine, but the wheels just shone. The keen eyes may notice the reflection is slightly warped – that’s because I cloned out some writing across the centre of the hub.

I’m not sure what type of cars any of these shots came from. If anyone knows, let me know?

    Ah, my inner car geek rises to the challenge, at least partly. :)

    The “Flying A” is from any number of different Austin cars of the 1950′s era. Beyond that I don’t know which model.

    BOY 576 is this car (no photo here unfortunately), a 1936 Standard 12/4 Deluxe. Seems to fit the description anyway.

    The wheel? No idea.
