Our local police department keeps this working sample from 1964, a Plymouth Fury, police edition.

Fons, "razorcontrasty"  and colourful. My fav is no 2.
Luckily it haven´t been Ford cars "availabe in any colour as long as it is black"

The 2nd one at least has a German Plate.
These red plates, you can get for historic vehicles to drive them to shows, rallies,
do technical checks, etc. You insure the strongest one and that includes all others.

Thomas, thanks for the correction too quick to assume they were Belgian, Germany is closer-by .

Fons, 1st one in this post (#94) is great! In this way, the (very) contrasty (HDR?) processing works very well. On top of that, the reflection of the modern car in the classic car is the cherry on the cake.

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.

Thank you Hans

It looks familiar to me but cant think of the name

The 'Havana car' is a 1949-51 Ford product.  The first all-new, "modern" Ford from the post WW2 period.

Thanks, Keith. This area of the city is called 'Kuba' so everything fits together ....

You mean postprocessing, i suppose,
i do basic conversion in either Photoninja or Photoshop,
adjustments in the next step were adjust shadows and highlights
and finally with niks  color efex, to enhance tonal contrasts
its over the top but considering the topic it makes for fun.
thank you
