010

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, AZ

A friend and founding-family member asked me to take photos of the old 1929 Buick in storage
where I work and e-mail them to her to help her in selling this wonderful old relic. The poor
girl is covered in dust. I e-mailed six photos to her of different angles including a shot of one
the beautiful wooden-spoke wheels.
For this display photo, I removed the color and added sepia just to give it
that more realistic old-time flavor.

Even the rubber looks good. Under that dust is a lot of money, I'm betting.

Carol, your image is wonderful in sepia.
What I also love about this shot is it has very nice detail which I love to see on vintage autos such as this one.

Nice choice on the sepia tone. The cluttered background adds to the feel of this.
