Tin Lizzie

This is a 1926 Ford Model T Racer also known, as well as other Model T's as "Tin Lizzies"!  This Racer is a stock Model T with a lighter body shell and a souped up engine.

It could get up to 90 miles per hour! This particular Model T is typical of race cars of the 1920s. They were driven to and from the race track.

Most had no top or windshield as opposed to the image here.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures, and then incorporating the results into a digital painting.

1940 Pontiac

The Pontiac automobile was established in 1926. Within General Motors, the folks that built the Pontiac had special pride in the way they turned out. In 2009, due to financial hassles GM discontinued manufacturing the car.

That is a shame!  Many good Pontiac factory workers lost their jobs. It seems like they were scapegoats.

Anyway, this cool and classic car was photographed at a car show that was held in the rain in Newport, Oregon.

This image was processed in High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). Five different exposures were combined into one to give the image more depth. It was raining quite hard when this photo was taken and that should show up in the image.

Jaguar Automotive Art

This mint green 1972 Jaguar E-Type was captured at the NOAA 100th Anniversary Celebration in Newport, on the Oregon Coast. Behind the Jag is a huge NOAA research ship, moored in Yaquina Bay.

What caught my eye was the gorgeous mint green paint on the Jag! The auto is absolutely flawless, inside and out!

This capture has been converted to a paintography image.

Below is a 1955 Jaquar XK140 MC. It's one cool customer! The XK140 was introduced in late 1954 and sold as a 1955 model.

Exterior changes that distinguished it from the XK120 included larger front and rear bumpers. The Jaguar badge was incorporated into the grill with an emblem on the boot lid containing the words "Winner Le Mans 1951 - 3".

Right off the production line, a XK-140 could achieve a top speed of 120 and even 125 mph. Roadsters like this one,  had a canvas top that folded out of sight behind the seats.

Moreover, the interior was trimmed in leather and leatherette, including the dash. Not too sure, that even today, that these models, that were produced way back when, could be reproduced and be one of the most popular and best selling sports cars among its contemporaries!

Too, this capture has been converted to a paintography image.

Packard Automotive Art

This is a cool 1932 Packard 900 Roadster. Packard sort of took a backseat to other automotive manufactures volume-wise but, the quality of their cars, innovations were superior.

This particular Packard has adjustable shock absorbers that was available by mechanical linkage on the dashboard. Wow!

Check out the Fly Fishing Pole and Creel! I converted the Packard image into a paintography renditon!

Best Classic Sports Cars

Now days, this Mercedes Gullwing Coupe wouldn't be just a hot deal. In it's day this was probably the epitome of what sport cars were all about. In my opinion, one of the best sports cars of all time!

This Gullwing Coupe was photographed at a car show in Oregon. The Gullwing doors were innovative, sure! However, the body style, looks were off the charts.

1937 Cord 810 Phaeton

This is one of the most beautiful Cords I have ever seen. The burgundy paint is absolutely gorgeous!
   
Versus other model Cords, this 810 Phaeton lacked a lot of showy chrome...the 810 had hidden door hinges and rear-hinged hood.

This particular model is not supercharged so you are not seeing the chrome-plated external exhaust pipes mounted on each side of the car.

1939 Classic Packard 120

This is a vintage 1939 Packard photographed at a Concours d'elegance! Every square inch of this beautiful Packard has been restored to perfection.

Packard basically went out of business because they took the time to make an excellent product and, because they bought Studebaker, couldn't get it to compete with Chevrolet and they tanked.

 Just before this model, Packard did away with the floor shifter and moved it to the steering column. You could get "happily involved" with one of these, brand new for about two grand at the time.

Today, a collector might, just might be able to locate a replacement "ash tray" for two grand!

Cruisin' In A 1946 Austin-The Mouse Trap!

This is a 1946 Austin converted to a hot rod and, restored to perfection. You can bet it can tear up a drag strip.

The car is called the "Mouse Trap"! Maybe the owner was thinking, "I can build a better mouse trap and catch some unsuspecting mice!"  The Austin automobile was produced basically from 1938 to 1948.

Three different exposures were taken of the "Mouse Trap" and then converted to a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image. The final image was then converted to a digital painting!

Let's Get Ready To Rumble!

This Ford Hot Rod was sitting all by itself on a street in Oregon. I just got down on the knees and took the shot!

On the left side is a Cafe and on the right side is a courthouse...nobody is around. This is a vintage Ford Hot Rod just begging to be raced!

Three different exposures were taken of the Hot Rod and then combined and converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). I then converted the image to a digital painting!

Popular Classic Sports Car

Of all the classic sport cars, the Shelby Cobra is one of the most popular. Carroll Shelby, in the early sixties, created the most sought-after American muscle car in history.

The very first Cobra ever produced sold in August 2016 for $13.75 million. Wow! The one pictured here is a kit car but, still impressive!

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

1937 Ford Panel

The following 1937 Ford Panel was captured at a car show in Oregon. There were many outstanding classic cars and trucks displayed at the show and this beautiful panel truck was one of them.

To really get the full effect you have to see a panel like this in person. Many, old cars and trucks start out as real projects and take a lot of blood, sweat, tears and money to complete.

The 1937 Ford, both car and truck, featured a more rounded look than what Ford had previously been producing. The front grille was V-shaped and didn't a pentagon shape, as on the 1936 model.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

1929 Model A Ford Hot Rod

The Ford Model A, along with other models, were produced from 1928 to 1931. It followed the highly successful Model T which was in production for some eighteen years.

They sold for $385!  Wouldn't it be nice to purchase a brand new car, today for $385?

Between Model Ts and "As", many subsequent purchasers of these great and classic cars have converted them into hot rods. Some bought them in deplorable condition and restored them to perfection.

This Model A Ford Roadster hot rod is a good example of a restored "A". It has beautiful turquoise paint with gold, yellow, white detail.

1948 Packard Super 8 Touring Sedan

Packard automobiles are among the best luxury cars ever made. At one time, they outsold Cadillac.

Through the years, they were somewhat profitable but, at a point they decided to buy Studebaker to compete with Chevrolet and, that was their demise. Personally, I am more into the older Packards like, 1916 to about 1950 versus the later models.

For the most part, they were classy, well-built and absolutely gorgeous. This great old Packard was featured in a car show on the Oregon Coast.

Vintage And Prestige Automobiles!

The Cord Automobile is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. And, certainly, among the most prestigious and innovative automobiles made at the time!

I captured many angles of the car...even being able to sit in the Cord and photograph the interior. And, I was privileged to spend a lot of time talking to the owner about his automobile.

I circled and circled the car. I did not find any flaws in a car that was eighty years old. When I sat in the car, everything interior-wise, like the dashboard looked dated, like it should. But, it looked brand new.

What blew my mind is that, hardly anyone was looking at the Cord. Folks were off gawking at the hot rods and eating hot dogs.

Most were oblivious to this beautiful automobile, which was a shame!

Cord was the brand name produced by the Auburn Automobile Company from 1929 to 1932 and again in 1936 and 1937.

The founder, E.L. Cord was responsible for building different and innovative cars. Unfortunately, they didn't always turn a profit.

However, you have to think about the era and the Great Depression. That had a lot to due with it.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) and, also into a digital painting. Further, I changed the image that was in color to a selenium finish that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Cruisin' In A 1910 Brush Automobile

The Brush Automobile Company was only in business from 1909 to 1913. What is unique is that the car had a wooden chassis with iron cross members.

In the early 1900s popularity among open cars like this Brush swept across the Únited States. Unfortunately, the Brush Company would be bought out by the United States Motor Company. And, then U.S. Motors collapsed in 1912  bringing the end of the Brush automobiles.

The Brush automobiles were built using hardwoods. Axles and wheels were fabricated from hickory. Further. the frame and flooring was built from oak and the seat structure from poplar.

The one I photographed is absolutely pristine with immense detail throughout. So, pack a picnic lunch and ride around with the top down in this cool car!

1931 Model A Ford

To me anyway, it never made sense why Model A's followed Model T's..."A" is the first letter of the alphabet.  But with heated competition from GM, Henry couldn't sit on his laurels...he had to make some improvements over the Model T real fast or, lose his place in the industry. So came the "A"!

One of the biggest improvement over the T was an electric starter. You didn't have to get out there in the rain and crank anymore. However, there were a lot more things done other than a electric starter.

One of my passions is old, classic cars and this car brings on that passion! I hope you are passionate about nostalgic cars, also!

This is one cool old car. Although, I don't think Henry envisioned the tires or, front suspension depicted here.

I captured this Model A Ford at a car show in Newport, Oregon and converted it to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). Newport doesn't have a ton of classic automobiles hanging around town however, the surrounding areas like Florence, which is fifty miles south on the Oregon Coast does.

1947 Ford Club Coupe

This 1947 Ford Club was featured at a car show in Newport, Oregon. Actually, this model Ford is an  aborted 1942 model because of the Second World War.

Further, the 1947 model was identical to the 1946 except Ford then restyled the body slightly first by moving the parking lights from above the grill to below each headlight. However, this is not reflected in the image here.

That could be because, in the first weeks of the 47's production the car was the same as the 1946. As the 47 progressed, exterior moldings were changed from grooved to a smooth design.

They received a new hood ornament. A new hubcap design became available. The interior dash color was changed from red accent to gold.

The image has been converted to a digital Impressionist painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see link below image!

1937 Ford

There is a certain charm to old, classic cars and, this 1937 Ford Cabriolet is no exception. It was featured at a car show in Toledo, Oregon which is seven miles from the Central Oregon Coast.

I don't know the history of this particular Ford. The owner was missing so I was unable to get any particulars.

I processed the image into High Dynamic Range Photography and then converted it to an Impressionist Painting (Digital Painting). The "Old Salt in" the background gave me permission.
