'50 Merc Sedan - 5 pics
This is a real beauty & everyone wanted one in the '50s.
Appraised at $38,000 300D, Kit lens, ISO 200, RAW, Manual everything. 1/8 sec, f-11  Like the sign reflecting in the hood? More PS work for this Winter.    I decided to incorporate the reflection at the top-left in the background to avoid having to PS it out.  350 Chevy motor & trans.

Frank, That's one gorgeous "Lead Sled". And of course your PS work makes it all the better. I'm going to have to learn how you do that effect one of these days.

c0ntr0lz: It might be an aftermarket grill. Looks a lot like the one on the T-Bird in this post:

No, thank you Marie!
I'm glad you all liked the car. I think I should have named it "Black Beauty"!
