My pleasure. It's a very unique view! (And I'm old enough to remember some oldies but goodies re cars, lol.)
Btw, my dad had a mint condition Buick Roadmaster (circa 1940-something, I believe?) that he talked my grandfather into selling to him. The beauty had barely ever been out of grandad's garage and it was a dream for our family to travel in...the ride was so smooth, it was like "driving the living room sofa," as my dad said!
Brings back some wonderful memories!

Hmmm....not a sedan, but a tourback, I remember. I think ours was an early 50's model, in fact, and not a 40's as I had originally thought.
I searched out a few pics and it seems to resemble this model: [link]
The 1950 model possesses much more in the way of chrome grillwork, but the silhouette matches.
According to the police, "The Blue Light" (yes, we named her! Pathetic, weren't we?) was the most stolen and taken-on-a-joyride car in the neighborhood! Luckily we always found it abandoned a few blocks away and relatively unharmed. Even the thugs had respect for such a great vehicle, I suppose! LOL

Yep, you definitely captured the retro feel with this one! The colours are perfect, and that stormy sky makes for a really cool (and rather ominous) background.

I really like the angle of this shot, and I really like the contrast between the foreground and the background (its a car...right?)
