Sometimes road traffic can be a problem even on an early Sunday morning.

Judging from the wood spoke wheels, the running boards and the shape of the cabin top, I'd say it's a late 1920's Chevrolet. Does not look like a Ford.

New Zeeland?

Nope. Road 12 west of Crested Butte. Apparently, the best time to take the sheep to the high country for the summer grazing season is early on a Sunday morning.

Late 1920's Ford two door sedan - customized. And it sports a true Ford V8 (not original), probably a 302 cubic inch punch out of a 289.

CA, Yosemite. Panoramic shot during a day trip there. I didn't stay too late but sky was so clear there. They said there's a lot of astronomy stargazers at night.

OK, I can only get details from this first one. It is for sure a Chevy....... hubcaps have the center embossed bow-tie emblem and the hood ornament is distinctive of a mid 1930's Chevy (1934 - 1935) post depression period car. I'll go with 4 door Master Deluxe as they used that name a lot until the 1950's.

The straight six looks like an early 216 cubic inch ("Stovebolt" nomenclature) with a modified two carb setup. Those early 6's had splash oil lubrication and NO OIL FILTER. However, I'll bet the owner changed that,

Thanks for the next challenge.

I am sure this is a 1949 -1950 Mercury convertible. It is mildly customized with fender skirts, probably a lowering kit, the dual chromed spotlights (not stock!) and I will say that the top was chopped as the windshield height seems not as tall as stock. Also, the door handles are "shaved' and I'll bet the trunk latch is too. These were great cars but handled like a battleship in a 100 MPH windstorm.

The usual engine was a Ford/Merc flathead V8 which had about 100 HP. Most came with a manual transmission (3 speed column shift) and some came with an auto trans (cost extra). These were crappy engines as they ran hot and overheating was common.

When I was a teen driving old cars (all I could afford), this was one of my favorites, a 1947 Plymouth:

My Plymouth had a back seat so big you could hold a party in it. Had a flathead 6 cylinder of about 70? HP and 3 speed on the column. A real tank.

Interesting conversation. Maybe a separate thread on classic cars would be appropriate. This thread is about photography.

Yes, that would be a good idea as I thought the same. I'll leave it up to Twilo123 to start one if he desires.

Wait a V8 could only top out at 100 HP? what changed in horsepower increments over the years? just like fuel injection and maybe turbochargers or something?
i like the chopped top looks on these classic cars. sometimes they come out really slick and forward/future looking for cars at that time.
is handle shaving a common theme on classic cars?
just saw the start a new thread. will do so and take it there. i have tons of these picks aja8888

i made a new thread for Autos over here thanks

not sure what kind of birds these are. i took the pic of their nest on the top of an abandoned building near a waterline.

This was taken at Gilbert Riparian a few months ago. Unfortunately it is severely compressed from the original picture which is much sharper.
