My wife and I were out for a walk in our neighborhood and heard the horn of an old car down the street. As it got closer, we saw that it was a neighborhood parade consisting of kids, their parents, and a beautiful 1929 Model A Ford. Mostly, the spectators were just people looking out their windows or sitting in their driveways, but a couple of bikers pulled onto the sidewalk to watch. As we walked past the bikers, my wife said to them, "This is why we love the east side."

That is an interesting and fun photograph! At first I doubted the 1929 dating as that was the year that Ford transitioned to an intermediate and later high radiator. I suspect this is an early example.

Initially I thought it was a 1931, but when photographing the car earlier this morning while parked on the street I noticed the license plate frame that read 1929. The one in my photo is virtually identical to this one:

Hard to tell at the different angle; I think that one has the intermediate radiator. But Ford was messing around with specifications that year and these cars have of course been worked on for many years. I really like the B&W treatment BTW.

I really like these images - both the content and rendering.

I need to get my hands on an M10M 😎

Thank you! They really are great cameras. I haven't tried the M11M, but the M10M is my all time favorite digital Leica.
