An old car in my neighbourhood. It has been sitting there slowly rusting away at least for 30 years. I occasionally snap a picture of it, just for amusement. This is with the Fuji S5Pro and 35-135/3.5-4.5 Zoom-Nikkor AIS, by the way.

No idea of the make, but have nicknamed it the "Havana" car for my files.

That's a '49 Ford. My dad had one.

Lars, that Maybelle looks very interesting. Especially the instrument cluster is unlike anything I have ever seen. Great photos.

Arend, you did great work in that Ferrari museam. Did they allow you to use a support?

Being a bit of a chauvinist I love the look and colour of the Morgan front end!

Indeed, a very handsome car design!

My only complaint is one found on other cars as well, the leather strap hold down. That's just a personal dislike that looks out of place and to me like a last minute fix to cover the fact that they forgot to include a latch in the design. OTOH, I know folks that love the looks of the strap. You just can't please everyone.  ;D

The strap breaks up the beautiful lines of the design, a sin in my view.  ;)

Thanks Mike and Carl. I agree - the look of a classic Morgan is special.
