The color caught my eye as well, beautifully done, but an anachronism. This might be of interest and worth a read. http://www.people.vcu.edu/~djbromle/color-theory/color04/jithin/autocolor.htm
Thanks for the link, interesting read.

Oops, Lincoln...
Brain said Lincoln, fingers said Caddy.

An easy error; the '33 Caddy and '33 Lincoln do look similar, especially in photos.

Close up and in person, it was great.
I'm not as senior as many UHH members who may actually remember these classic older cars from when they were kids, but I've always appreciated vehicles that were built long before I was born, in the 1950's. Unlike contemporary vehicles that are designed with computers (I have nothing against computers, I developed and wrote and fixed code for over 30 years), and mostly built by machines, these old cars were designed and built with human hands. Years ago my buddy and I bought and restored a 1947 Dodge Power Wagon. It took us a few years to find all the parts and do the work, and we converted it from 6 to 12 volts and added a few modern devices, but it was a lot of fun and an experience I'll never forget. Now that I'm retired I really wish we'd never sold it and I had bought it outright. It was a lot of fun to drive.

Nice story rmorrison, never had the sKill to do such a roject, but I can appreciate those who do. Regarding the older vehicles, methinks the operative word is CHARACTER!

Sorry, I did not. Sides were not open and too dark to shoot interior. Did not have a flash with me.

I started tinkering with mechanics before I was a teen. My father had a lawn mowing business, along with his full time job with the rail road and part time job taking care of the local church. He taught me how to maintain the lawn equipment, from your basic push mower to this big old beast of a Gravely ride behind mower. I then got into mini-bikes and dirt bikes and my first real job was at a local service station. Although I chose a career in computers and information technology, I always has a passion for mechanics and high tech sports cars and motorcycles. My friend, and neighbor, who I co-owned the Dodge with, was also the person who introduced me to photography. He was a few years older than me and was a technician at an electronics company and was also their staff photographer.
I agree; those older vehicles didn't have much in the way of technology but they sure had character.

This magnificent 1933 Lincoln took home “Best in Show” at an open class car show staged by East Carolina Corvette Club, hosted by Don Bullock Chevy in Rocky Mount, NC. Buster Dawson and company stage awesome shows throughout the year. Yesterday was another winner in spite of the biting, chilling winds and overcast skies.

Can only assume folks are ribbing Dean - since nearly every download has a readable Lincoln Badge, notwithstanding the Label and Sign in two other photos.
Wasn't ribbing anyone. I totally believed him it was a Lincoln (I just wrote Caddy again, had to change it) I haven't the slightest reason to doubt him and haven't the slightest reason why my fingers want to type Caddy. It's just something that happens.
I guess Caddy and Lincoln are both displays of wealth, and my tiny brain lumped them together for some reason.
Whatever reason, it was totally subconscious. My conscious was paying more attention to the nice photo and beauty of the car than the brand of car.
