Henry, looking at the first photo of the front part of the car I'm almost sure it's a Jaguar SS. Never seen one without doors though and usually in a better 'classical' state. ;)

 

 

edit:

Ok, thought about it. Risking humiliation now but I'm going for SS100. God I hope I'm not too far off now!

 

I think it is a Bentley Mark VI special. Those wheels were the common fitment to those cars - maybe Tech-Del or Woolfrace ones. They were made by various folks in the UK in the 1960's to early 80's, when you could pick up a rusty Mark VI for pocket change. Some were also made on the earlier 3.5 or 4.25L pre-war Bentleys but the prices of these started to climb earlier than the post war Mark VI cars.

Judging by the hood ornament it could be a Plymouth.

 

Pete.

After the reply of Pete, I searched for an hour models but I have not found. It's not easy but I admit that the Plymouth style

is special for 2 doors coupes, very low a little heavy and Pete may be right.

Henry,

 

That is a pretty ugly one but far from the worst :) There are some totally hideous ones made in the 1960's with plywood bodywork.

 

IMHO they really need decent wire wheels to look right here is a slightly better looking one https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7999761/cars_s1690.jpg

Thanks Wilson - I recon that's it - it's amazing to think it was made as late as 1949 !!

 

Ps. You don't happen to know anything about French film music, do you....:)

Adam, your picture reminds me a famous apocalypse movie where we see the Brooklyn Bridge :)

Keith, nice picture that also reminds me black series thriller

Beautiful composition :)

 

I did today street pictures with my Macro Elmar 90 very discreet and light in comparison with 28 mm .... photos will be developed and you'll give me your opinion

Already a first impression, much easier to take people with their expression at the "decisive moment" . I get ready and I shoot and people do notice anything :)
