Old Car City started as a small general store in 1931 and is still family owned and operated. It wasn't until 2009 that owner Dean Lewis -- who grew up on the property -- realized he could turn it into a tourist attraction because a lot of people shared his love of decomposing automotive carcasses.

Introduced in 2000 as Canon's top-line professional 35mm film camera, the EOS 1v was Canon's final 1-series film camera and was then the most advanced EOS camera created. The camera features a 45-point auto-focus array, including 7 cross-point sensors around the center of the frame. The camera records 20 attributes of metadata for each frame, including focal length, shutterspeed, and shooting mode among the many attributes. Using a third-party tool, this EXIF data can be extracted from the EOS body and applied to the scanned JPEGs from the processed negatives.

Owner Dean Lewis clears the paths, but otherwise leaves the cars to the mercy of time and nature.

"It’s history. I saved them when other people were crushing them," Lewis says. "I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t get up every morning and look at old cars."

Thank you John, Iron Sight, Gampa, Bill, Bob, Mike! I've been trying to see if I can fit another Old Car City trip again this year when in the ATL area for the holidays. Glad you enjoyed these results.

Thanks Paul for revisiting this old spot with that earlier camera. Film is still awesome and your work proves it. Your lab in California does nice processing too. There are still a few of them around the country and I currently use one in Baltimore as one in NYC.
It's good to have choices and variety makes my day a better path to the next one.
Thanks Man.....Good Job !
