How about a 'period looking' classics picture thread?

Taken on Saturday, worthy?

Fail, that leaf is obviously a modern leaf!

Hard to fault that except perhaps the labels on the packages stacked in the office windows are a give away - bar codes weren't invented back then

The old Mustang, last week.

Obviously the standard in this thread is increasing - if you look at some of the first ones posted including the one by the originator of the tread one could pick holes in most of them. You're a hard taskmaster Nicanary

I see what you mean. They're just modern photos made to look like sepia. Weird.How can that qualify as period-looking? More like old-looking, which isn't the same thing in my book. Just rub some dirt and cold tea on everything, to make it look antique.

Some recent efforts have been very good, with images carefully chosen to match cars with period buildings, and surroundings. I thought that was the point of the thread.

Doesn't really matter, I suppose. Any pic of a classic is a good pic.

PS I've just seen your own photo of your DB MkIII in Dec 2010, and that's a cracker. Exactly what this thread should be about IMO, and I'm not just trying to suck up to you.)

I think we are being too fussy. The original op did not have a totally period looking pic. Surely the original op is what this thread is about? Refinements are good, but it shouldn't mean that a pic like the op's first is now a reject

Here is my effort

Had a few attempts today - not as good as others on here as yet. I do have a plan involving a disused petrol station and some 35mm soon!

I love that transporter. All it needs now is the Alfa 8C35 in proper green colours with the Poore insignia - fat chance. Sigh.

That's very good, looks like it was taken years ago.

Another go, the original photo was taken at an old garage in the locality.
