Cadillac Coupe

Still on the photos of vintage cars and the like made during my recent trips to a couple of traction / vintage rallies.

Today a 1952, series 62 Cadillac Coupe. I know this because it says so on the car’s license plate. 🙂

Once again, some very nice results from the pushed Shanghai GP3. Unfortunately more dust spots than normal, but I always seem to find this when I have lab developed film – the rolls I develop at home have far less dust surprisingly (although they do tend to suffer much more from drying marks).

No pink Cadillac
This one was rusty and worn
Perhaps on purpose

It’s not often that I see classic American cars while out with my camera – outside of car shows and the like at least – so I had to grab a photo of this Chevy when it pulled up beside me. A moment after taking this shot the traffic lights changed and the car pulled forward but had to stop to wait for oncoming traffic. Grabbing the opportunity to photograph it without other cars in the way I composed a quick shot… only for another car to shoot into the frame and ruin the picture. Grrr.

While the car is still obscured in the first frame, it looks much better than the second.
