I think I want one of those boat tail Rolls Royce beasts to drive around in too.

This first set is B&W, taken with the M4/35 Summicron on Tri-X, with a yellow filter. To my eyes, nothing on four wheels was so lovely as this 1937 Talbot-Lago: _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1937+Talbot-Lago+T15 0+ _1_.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1937+Talbot-Lago+T15 0+_1_.jpg.html) _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1937+Talbot-Lago+T15 0+ _2_.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1937+Talbot-Lago+T15 0+_2_.jpg.html) The Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 Zagato remains one of my all-time favorites: _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1932+Alfa+Romeo+8C+2 30 0.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1932+Alfa+Romeo+8C+2 300.jpg.html) Having sparred with a Fiat throughout my college years, here's a rare one: _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1953+Fiat+8V+Superso ni c.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1953+Fiat+8V+Superso nic.jpg.html) A pair of unusual Rolls' - a woody wagon and a boattail Phantom: _http://gallery. leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1933+Rolls-Royce+Shooting+Brake.jpg. html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1933+Rolls-Royce+Sho oting+Brake.jpg.html) _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1929+Rolls-Royce+Pha nt om+I.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1929+Rolls-Royce+Pha ntom+I.jpg.html) Pure elegance - 1934 Packard Twelve Boattail Speedster: _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1934+Packard+Twelve. jp g.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1934+Packard+Twelve. jpg.html) Another rare one - 1954 Nash-Healey Le Mans Coupe; _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1953+Nash-Healey+Le+ Ma ns.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1953+Nash-Healey+Le+ Mans.jpg.html) And two totally different competition cars - 1946 Delage Grand Prix and 1964 Mercury Comet that ran the East African Safari: _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1946+Delage+D6+GP.jp g. html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1946+Delage+D6+GP.jp g.html) _http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1964+Mercury+Comet+E as t+African+Safari.jpg.html_ (http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Ira+Silverman/CDE2008/1964+Mercury+Comet+E ast+African+Safari.jpg.html) I'm working on the (Canon) color pictures now and I'll post a few over the next couple of days.
