When Cars were cars . . .

[Fangman]

Austin 7 Ruby 1937 and Riley 9 Monaco circa 1939 The last they made pre WWII
Taken about 1951 when I used my father's 1930's 16 on 120 Iconta having graduated from his Zeiss 5x4 plate. My DIY develop and printing in a black-out bathroom was the norm - unfortunately all my fathers cameras went missing after a house move - Oh to have them now! Another from a box of negatives from my early days with a camera - much easier to enlarge now days with a scanner and Photoshop.

Loss of cameras on a house move was an unpardonable mistake

Fine shot

It sure is a treat to see a fine old archival treasure of a photograph Fangman! Thanks for posting this for us to see.

A house move whilst I was at college - lost most of my sketches and brass rubbings and lots of negatives and darkroom clobber - banjo and father's cornet - all to be found someday I expect in a stranger's loft.

What a gem of a shot. Theres just something about black and white film. And those old cars and how that guy is leaning on one is just what you want to see in a film shot.
