Close. This example is a bit older, I’m thinking that it is a ‘54 model.

I agree. But the 1953's and 1954's are similar from that angle.

This T-Bird looked good when it was new and still looks good.

Can I assume...you are expected to use a/your RF camera and feature a car pic done with said camera? I don't see too many reference ort credits to X camera

You can assume that but I do not know of you would be correct. I use RF and EVF myself and that rule has not been spelled out in this thread. So bang away with whatever you've got, pinhole and up.

No, it is all about the picture and not the equipment used though you are welcome to tell us what you used if you wish.

My second car was a Karmann Ghia. "Flooring it" had a different meaning in the hills of northern eastern Alabama. You often had to keep the accelerator pedal pressed to the floor to climb grades at speed.

My eternal weakness, Citroëns. I love them for their great engineering and "out of the box" solutions to automotive problems. This particular DS 21 is the Henri Chapron customization limousine. The same model that Georges de Gaulle rode in. After surviving an attack by automatic weapons (Day of the Jackal) de Gaulle swore allegiance to Citroën and rode in them exclusively. This one was in the Mullin Museum.

And a lesser Citroën, the venerable 2CV. This is the car that put France on wheels. It also introduced radial tires. The company is owned by Michelin which used the introduction of the 2CV for the introduction of radials. Yes, the French invented radial tires.

Boojum, I have great admiration for older Citroens, myself, especially the DS 21 and the 2 CV.
