Great shots. I love old car shots. I'm not sure but the Ford pickup may be a bit older,37 or 38.

Thanks for your interest!

@poilu; Yes, the lens is sharp, but not so easy to focus with D700 plain screen.

@jules; I couldn´t find a match for this car in the net. 1938- 39 Ford pick-up have oval grilles, 1940 models this kind of grille, but front lights inside the fenders. So maybe 1939 and a half...

I remember seeing those old MGs in the 50's and 60's. Love the running
boards, spoked wheels, heart-shaped dash, very cool. Ones pictured seem
to be late 40's/early 50's models. And now China is building MGs...wonder
what William Morris would say to that!
