From a local car show... Attendance here with classic vehicles is way down due to road construction outside the venue.

All with O.C. Nikkor 35mm f2 at f8.

'48 Chev "STYLEMASTER". Car is not quite complete- it lacks the plating around the front wind shields.

There's your erstwhile photog in reflection over the rocket-ship styled nameplate.
I'm not that he-man shaped at all. The curvature of the car's bodywork gives funhouse reflections.

Quartered rear view here. The empty lot in the background is normally full of old cars on a Sunday afternoon.

S/S Camaro. The rear gills suggest a '68, IIRC.
Not a 396- those came with their own badging.
Air intakes in the hood suggest a small block 4bbl.

'64 Olds Ninety Eight.
I like this car the best of any that were there.

There was an early Austin-Healey Sprite that I could not get near enough to photograph properly.
Big crowds around that little car made clear images an impossibility.

Some nice cars Doc Sharptail! There was also a car show in my area this weekend, but the weather was bad and when I went there on Sunday afternoon, most people had already left or were leaving. Although there was a car parked inside, near the food stands, which happens to be the most beautiful rolling art piece I've ever seen, a 66' Shelby Mustang G.T.350H.

I had my Sony A9 and several Rokkors with me, including my newly acquired MD 20mm/2.8 ( I'll have to post about this one in the "what are the best bargains you have found" thread ). But as the lighting conditions were not the brightest, I took the first pic with my MC W.Rokkor-HH 35mm/1.8, and then I figured it was a good opportunity to use a lens from the same era as the car, the MC Rokkor-PG 58mm/1.2, for some close-ups.

Mercury "Eight". I think it's a '45 or 46, from before the post-war Ford re-tooling.

They knew a thing or two about body style...

Ford Thunderbird, likely a '59 by the tail lights. I had the same tail lights on my first car- a '62 Ford sedan that was pretty non-descript, except for the slight rear fins and rocket tail-lamps.

Canadian market Ford Fairlane Victoria, likely a '59.

I couldn't get into the rear to look for a "500" designation- a bit crowded back there.

Badly over-exposed shot of another Canadian market car '58 Mercury Meteor Rideau 500.
The car moved off before I could get a properly compensated shot. Photographer error on the metering system- it was set to tight spot mode.
