SLIDE SCANNING PROJECT
This is one of the very oldest "transparencies" in my collection. It was actually shot way back in 1952 by my Dad. This is his 1951 Studebaker Commander "Starlight" Coupe. It featured an unconventional "bullet-nose" design and Studebaker's "glass all-around" panoramic rear view windows. Mom, Dad and I moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis in late 1950. We drove to L.A. in this Studebaker. Two years later my grandfather, Mom's father, became severely ill and she wanted to be with him at that time. So we drove back to St. Louis from L.A. in this Studebaker. This shot was taken after we returned, and you can still see the California license plate on the front bumper. For a variety of reasons we ended up staying in St. Louis after that. This slide had some strong "staining" and the color had faded quite a bit. So I thought it was a good candidate for some creative effects. The car color was yellow and the wheels were a dark red shade. I was so young I really don't remember this car at all. But I know for sure that I did go for a "ride" in it from St. Louis to Los Angeles and back so many years ago. . .
Year: 1952
Film: Kodachrome (unsure of the ASA rating)
Camera: Bolsey - Model B2 (Rangefinder)
Lens: Wollensak 44mm 3.2
