Do remember the times when car manufacturers still knew what design was all about? Or was that before your generation?

What a great old car! It was just slightly before my time but I remember the still being around when I was growing up! Thats when they actually put metal into cars! Good shot!

Life ain't always beautiful; but it's a beautiful life!~ Gary Allan song
Paul - We still have these things being driven daily around here due to our dry, rust free climate. Nice self portrait of the artist reflected in the center bezel.

Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes.
Hey Paul, are you in NY by chance? I went to a classic car show last weekend and saw a very similar Studebaker. What a beauty! I love the shapes and characters of the older vehicles. Quite a number of which are making comebacks in some way, such as the Mustang GT. Nice shot!

Be impeccable with your word, don't make assumptions and always do your best
Hey Paul great shot and love the angle. My first car I owned was a 57 Studebaker station wagon. I moved on to muscle cars from there.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
They certainly don't make them like that anymore. How sad. Great capture!

More does not always equal better!
Excellent shot Paul. Great perspective, color and contrast. Love it and I do love the big ol' cars. They just don't make 'em with this kind of character anymore. I mean come on, what's with the Scion or that big boxy looking thing from Honda? Sorry, I digress. This is one great shot. I gave it a 10. anne :-)

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

What a lovely car and the best of colours also!

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
This was when cars had faces. As designers start to see some sucess with some of the new models that have retro touches you'd think that they would figure out that this is what we're looking for, not just another car shaped like an egg. And the Studebaker had a hundred high tech touches ahead of their time.

Wowzer Paul!! look at that great lookin' Studebaker!!
It's a gorgeous red...and cars used to have real class. Too bad now they just pop out copies one after the other, clones so to speak...where they all begin to look the same. Thank you for posting such a lovely front end view...looks grrrrreat! (and by the way, how are YOU my dear?!) Verena

Life is a great big canvas, and you should
throw all the paint on it that you can.
I just saw this on Featured Images. I remember when cars didn't all look alike. That's what I love so much about the Edsel. Great shot, Paul.

Be kind to your web-footed friends 'cause a duck may be somebody's mother!
I remember Paul. Great shot of the Studebaker.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
