@yiannis krikis: Thank you Yiannis. It was close to sunset and I like the way the light was setting on the hood ornament.

Great capture full of nostalgia and animal-like beauty! I remember how weird I found the pronunciation of the word "Plymouth", as a kid (when I saw these cars, they were a big status-symbol) I said "Plee- mouth", the second syllabe pronounced as "mouth". Later on they told me the right pronunciation, but maybe mine was more logical.

@Illuci: Thank you Illuci. I smiled at your comment about the word Plymouth. It is a very strange word when you look at it and I was thinking about it when posting the image. Enjoyed your story and comment.

Super shot - ahh! - when cars were cars! It's in superb condition by the looks of it, and to follow on from Lorraine's comment - the grille looks like smiling teeth. I like the framing you've done as well.

@dobbino: You are right, cars were cars then. Try and put a thumb print in that steel! Cars today you can press the metal with your finger. I always look at grills and tail lights they do have features about them.
Thank you for commenting.

A shot "right after my own heart" ; ) Nice work, Barbara. They don't make 'em like they used to, and with so few old beauties around, we photogs are lucky when we have the chance to shoot one. This is charming.
