Nash Airflyte Ambassador Super.
I think this is a 1949 model. It's an enormous car.
The owner said he had to fight the DMV for years
to be able to keep his license plate.
Exif: F Number: 10, ExposureTime: 100/5999 seconds, ISO: 250, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D70s

Thanks very much, everybody! I really appreciate the great comments! #6294865Deb Koskovich August 10, 2008
This is absolutely awesome, Colleen. Right into my faves. Love the uniqueness of this car! I too find the wide angle lens to be indispensable at crowded car shows. I didn't have it at the last show I went to and I was kicking myself all day for it. #6294947Jeana Clark August 10, 2008

Fantastic capture of this killer car, Colleen - it's truly memorable!Debby #6296989
Colleen Farrell August 10, 2008
Thanks very much for the great comments, Arlene, Tammy, Karen, Kate and Debby!Arlene, it's the DOA ("Dead on Arrival") that he was referring to. I guess the DMV thought it was in too poor taste to use--maybe because so many people are killed in car accidents. #6297051

EDGY COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!:) #6304574frank w. degenhardt August 12, 2008
Coleen- Good day my friend. OHHHHHH what a bad boy we got here. This was when cars were weighed by the ton. They were heavy and so smooooooth riding. I think the inconvenience of taking the shot worked out well for you. I agree that the staight on shot and the width of the front end give the car an even more go out of my way look. That skull with the red eyes is such a sweet touch. I love old car pictures and you have done such excellent work with this one. composition, POV, Colors, Lighting, clarity, and amazing details make for a fabulous out of the oldes picture.Nikki McDonald August 12, 2008
Wonderful POV, whatever the reason, Colleen, and the presentation is, as always, terrific. #6306354Colleen Farrell August 12, 2008
Thank you for the terrific comments, Mitch, Kimi, Frank and Nikki! #6306495Carol Teal August 12, 2008
Great capture of this old car Colleen. The skull and DOA tag are unique. I have tried capturing the classic cars at the shows here, but I just haven't had much luck! Maybe I will have to try again before too long! #6306692KARU WIJESUNDARA. A.N.P.A.S. August 13, 2008
