Morning All,
I took this with a Rolleiflex 3.5F. My maddness this morning is 2-fold. First, I buildt a website over the weekend and want to see if this link works. Second I have not printed this one wet as of yet, and would like any suggestions for cropping.
-edit Thanks to Craig for the link.

Interesting shots, Brad. On the Chevy I think that may be a WW II "Black Out" modification to the headlamp. This was to narrow the light beam to make observation from aircraft more difficult. Done in later years with flat black paint.

That 41 Chevy is a rather interesting automobile. Typically, military vehicles lacked chrome trim, while this old Chevy grille absolutely sparkles in sunlight. Judging by the spotlight mounted, is it a police car? Since it was made in 1941, it was most likely a civilian automobile, but why the blacked out headlights? Odd.
Back to the topic of the picture, great capture of an old vehicle, though the car in the background is distracting. Also, it might have been better to get a lower composition to get more of the Chevy in the picture and less of the other car/pole/trees in background.

I would crop the top just a hair. Maybe just to the top of the chevy.

Actually this Chevie is a 1937 or maybe a 1938.
But that makes no difference, the picture tells the story.

This was taken at a car show. It is probably built as a WWII comemorative by its owner. I went back to that roll to find a wider shot but I didn't take one. I did however wet print this on Ilford Gallerie at 8x10 with a tighter crop and it really came out nice.

I was only 10 years old when the war ended, but it seems to me the military used civilian staff cars, and they did have 'blackout driving' lights.
The first thing to go is the memory :lol:
I think if you would have cropped more of the car the picture wouldn't have been near as good. You sort of dated it.
