It’s not a Mercedes, what is it? A Mercury? … nice pic

Appears to be a 1949 Mercury Coupe.

Beautiful! Love the B&W.

You have a knack for getting the angle that best shows off these beauties.

Thanks. It's mostly a ploy to keep gawkers out of the shot at crowded cruise nights. Still, it's the industrial design and details that interest me most about 50s and 60s cars. Whole car shots are everywhere online. Trim, head and tail lights, dashes and sheet metal changed yearly and powered sales for Detroit. Sometimes shoot a Mamiya RB67 Pro S kit on a tripod whose plus-size heft repels spectators.

I shoot that way as well.
