Default American Beauty

Took the D2 for its first outing yesterday. Shot RAW and no processing - yet! Sharpened in Lightroom.

Bigger gallery for those who like 'big cars and lots of chrome'.

She's beautiful, Andy!

Someone in the UK definately has a one-of-a-kind collectible here. The woodie look is pure "Americana", for better or worse.

The attraction must have been the chrome!!!



Thanks.

Allan

Andy -

I had no idea that a Chrysler woodie made it to the UK, much less suvived for more than a half century. I'm glad you were able to catch it without anybody near it.

I didn't catch the Woodies owner so no info. A lot of the cars from the 60's onwards originally came to the UK - and Germany - with the guys posted to the various USAF bases here. When they finished their tour they didn't bother taking them back home and just sold them off cheap.

I was at USAF Lakenheath for awhile when I was in the Royal Marines and somewhere I have a phot of a very large air transport with doors open and full of cars being unloaded by their owners who had just arrived.

The Model T on my web site gallery came via Canada and Australia!
