Haha, what a madman you are to use super slow film in a scale focus camera! But the result is beautiful!

When those bumpers showed up on MGBs, the entire world reached for eye bleach. What a sad time that was🙁

Note the rib leading from the back wheel opening. I vote for '61, also the hubcaps.
Buick Eight, 1950-ish OHV in-line eight motor, Dynaflow fluid coupling “automatic” transmission uses only top gear unless low is manually selected for special need. Bellevue, Washington. Can't ID that license plate...

Doug,
Pretty sure that is a 1950 model, Sedanette Fastback. My family had the 1949 model. My dad's first car, pretty sure, after coming back from the war. Legroom! Buick Eight.
The one in your photos is nicely preserved.
Intresting, Larry... The sculpturing along the side looks quite different between the two. Grille is different, turn signals... Is that you gazing at the camera? 🙂

There were some differences between the ‘49 and ‘50 but nothing like the amount of year to year difference that started happening in the later ‘50’s when annual styling changes really took off.
Yes, that’s me, wishing for an Edelbrock manifold.

That's a 1967 - just like the tag says. A high point in Beetles.

I think this is a Beetle too, but it's a bit more... how shall we say... undercover. 😀

Lincoln Continental
Don't often see the 4-door convertible, like the one Kennedy was in, in Dallas. This one in Canmore Alberta Canada

Doug, as I recall, that Continental required that the engine be pulled in order to change the spark plugs!

haha... probably not the only car have that 'feature'. As I think I recall, the Sunbeam Tiger required diving under the dashboard to reach the rear spark plugs of its Ford v8.
Oh, and note the above car's "suicide" rear doors!
