Just Call Me a Yellow Cab

Okay, You're a yellow cab. *rim-shot*

Is that a Checkered Marathon? The split windshield makes it very old.

Ya beat me to it

It's not a Marathon; those were never made in a split-window (AFAIK), but the curves look appropriate for an early 50s A4, but I'm not familiar enough with the interiors to say for sure.

Nice. I drive by a house out in the country every so often that has a collection of really old/interesting vehicles in a yard next to the house. Keep telling myself I need to stop and see if he will let me take photos.

The interior doesn't match the early 1950-ish A4 ... at least what I can find.

Hmmm... sounds like we have a mystery on our hands.

Actually, it is a truck...with a yellow cab. Pun's on me

I thought it looked too utilitarian. I've spent 40 minutes searching vehicle interiors....

Oh, don't act like you're all annoyed - you know you loved every one of those 40 minutes!

In other news, I like this shot. I'd probably play with some crops - looks like you can get a few cool studies of detail from the same image. Also, does it need a tiny bit of leveling, perhaps?

Hey Hey, the "rusty man" strikes again! ... keep them coming!

There isn't anything to shoot a level from. The cab sits pointed up at a 45 degree angle and tilted hard to the left. If there was a reference point outside, I would have angled it to that. This is a great place to shoot and to date, I've made over 20 images with 20 more to go.
