Real kewl I'd say. What a special license plate. Neat capture. The car looks to be in good shape.

If Caedes ever has a "B-Movie Nostalgia" contest you'll be set for that one, too. As my kids used to say, "Neato Mosquito!"

Hey, this guys license is expired! Very nice, Verena. Actually the license color and car color blend very well. Any chance for a full shot of this car?

Verena;

I hope you don't mind but I tried an experiment with this one. Photos of industrial or mechanical objects sometimes respond well to certain Photoshop filters so I downloaded this one for a test. I ran it through the "Ink Outlines" filter with a Stroke Length of 2, a Dark Intensity of 12, and a Light Intensity of 24. Suddenly it was a watercolor of a car undergoing some heavy-duty oxidation. I think it looks pretty wild. If you have Photoshop you should give it a try, just for something different.
