Default Trying to show off 4 era's with one car - my 50 Streamliner

Ignore the fact this car isn't old enough to be in two of these photo's .

1950 Pontiac Streamliner
Straight eight
Three on the tree
3 inch drop
Lot's of things shaved

Just wanted to see if I could pull off a 40 yr span in the "style" of photo by shooting 4 shots in the same setting. I like the 50 era photo best just because I think I nailed the Kodachrome effect.

Feel free to comment it or ignore. 20's, 40's, 50's, 60's

(besides car chat has too little love from the old school.)

3rd picture is simply awesome.

Last picture looks too vivid/clear to be a 60s photo.

i like the B&W ones, but I think you'll do it better justice by taking some film shots of with in Kodak Tri-X 400, steeped in Kodak D-76 developer and scanned in on a film scanner - B&W pics need grain for that "look".

The 3rd one does have a Kodachrome feel to it, like it was featured in Life.

Third picture looks like an under exposed old picture from an old photo album from the old seventies.
