The Nash Rambler was introduced on April 13, 1950; in the middle of the model year. The new Rambler was available only as an upmarket two-door convertible — designated the "Landau". Without the weight of a roof, and with a low wind resistance body design for the time, the inline 6-cylinder engine could deliver solid performance and deliver fuel economy up to 30 mpg‑US (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg‑imp).
Several factors were incorporated into the compact Nash Rambler's marketing mix that included making the most from the limited steel supplies during the Korean War, as well as the automaker selecting a strategy for profit maximization from the new Rambler line. The new Nash Rambler came only in a convertible body, a style that had a higher price in the marketplace and incorporating more standard features that make the open top models suitable more for leisure-type use than ordinary transportation.
The Nash Rambler was well equipped compared to the competition and included numerous items as standard equipment such as whitewall tires, full wheel covers, electric clock, and even a pushbutton AM radio that were available at extra cost on all other cars at that time.
In 1951, the Nash Rambler line was enlarged to include a two-door station wagon.

Toyota Celica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Toyota Celica /ˈsɛlɨkə/ is a sport compact car which was produced by the Japanese company Toyota from 1970 to 2006. The Celica name was ultimately derived from the Latin word coelica meaning "heavenly" or "celestial". In Japan, the Celica was exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships Toyota Corolla Store.
Throughout its life span the Celica has been powered by various four-cylinder engines.
The most significant change occurred in August 1985, when the car's drive layout was changed from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive. During the first three generations, American market Celicas were powered by various versions of Toyota's R series engines. The four-wheel drive turbocharged model called GT-Four worldwide (All-Trac Turbo in the US) was produced from 1986 to 1999.
Variable Valve Timing came in certain Japanese models starting in December 1997, and became standard in all models from 2000-on. Through seven generations, the model has gone through many revisions and design forks, including the Toyota Celica Supra (later known as the Toyota Supra). The Celica was available as notchback and liftback coupes, as well as a convertible."
- First generation / A20 & A35 Series (1970–1977)
- Second generation / A40 & A50 Series (1977–1981)
- Third generation / A60 Series (1981–1985)
- Fourth generation / T160 Series (1985–1989)
- Fifth generation / T180 Series (1989–1993)
- Sixth generation / T200 Series (1993–1999)
- Seventh generation / T230 series (1999–2006)
"In late 1999, Toyota began production and sales of the seventh-generation Celica. It closely resembled the XYR concept with the exception of the front bumper and rear spoiler, while omitting the previously available coupe bodystyle.
The 2000 model year Celica was an element of Toyota Project Genesis, an effort to bring younger buyers to the marque in the United States. Toyota took time to lighten the car and lower cost wherever possible. Power window and door lock controls were placed in the center console so only 1 set was necessary for both doors. Initial sunroofs were made of polymer plastic instead of the traditional glass. This generation was assembled by Kanto Auto Works at its Higashi-Fuji plant in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The Celica came in two different models. The ZZT230 was powered by a relatively economical 1.8 L 4-cylinder 140 hp (104 kW) 1ZZ-FE engine and the ZZT231 powered by a higher-performance 1.8 L 4-cylinder 192 hp (143 kW) (in Europe and Japan) 2ZZ-GE version, co-developed with Yamaha, the latter featuring a two-step variable valve lift control in conjunction with its variable valve timing.
In 2004, CNNMoney.com rated the Celica as one of the best cars to purchase for fuel economy.
Exporting of the Celica ceased in July 2005. However until mid-May, customers could still order one, although it was advised they took action before that time ended.
The last Celica was rolled off production line on April 21, 2006. In its last year, the Celica was only officially sold in Japan."

Here's my Canon Micro Compact. These were sold from 1984 and I found this in a thrift store in the UK for around $2. Came with a detachable side flash unit and a manual too.
It's small and easy to carry around but makes a fair amount of noise when the shutter fires and then autowinds the film to the next frame. Also the focus distance indicator shows you the focus after the shot was taken. Can't really see what the point is of that.
Sharp 35mm f/2.8 lens and took some crisp shots even in the NYC rain, see the set!
Car show time ! Here is a Corvair convertible, 1961 0r '62 I believe. They were introduced to compete with the compact imports arriving from Europe. The design was quite different with an air cooled boxer six at the rear and a swing axle rear suspension.
Going thru some old archive photos I came upon a photo of a Max Occupancy sign at one of the exhibition halls at Chicago's McCormick Place. With all the talk of Social Distancing, it is good to remember what we have to look forward to when this is all said and done, and the next Auto Show comes in 2021
Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.
Found this photo on my old compact camera and decided to touch it up in Lightroom.
This is the waterfall at Shannon Falls Provincial Park in British Columbia. It's one of the calmer days for the waterfall.
The name says it all, This is trully a deluxe camera, very classical in design, but very high quality in terms of build and performance. Everything one needs to take high quality pictures is present: Fujinon lens, automatic parallax correction and a feature inherited from the V series, the focusing is done by means of a wheel, next to the viewfinder, very neat!
My collection of 1980's 35mm compact cameras. 2 of them are autofocus, one is a rangefinder and one uses zone focusing.

The Renault Scénic (French pronunciation: [senik]) is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by French automaker Renault, the first to be labelled as such in Europe. It is based on the chassis of the Mégane small family car. It became the 1997 European Car of the Year on its launch in November 1996.
The Mégane Scénic can be traced back to a concept car of 1991, designed under the supervision of Anne Asensio, then designer at Renault. The Scénic was mechanically identical to the Mégane hatchback (itself based on the older R19). The 1.4 L, 1.6 L "Energy", 1.8 L "F Type" petrol and 1.9 L diesel engines were shared with the hatchback range.
The Scénic was marketed as a multi purpose vehicle, in a smaller size lower price of such vehicles as Renault's own Espace. It was launched in November 1996.
Renault underestimated the market demand that the Scénic would have — predicting that it would be a niche model with only 450 produced a day. Production at the company's Douai plant would eventually peak at nearly 2,500 cars a day.
Along with the Mégane hatchback, the Scénic underwent a major frontal restyle in September 1999, and the newer 16 valve engines were introduced. The front end was quite a bit different from the Mégane counterpart, and there were also redesigned rear lights.
From the time of this restyle, it became officially known as the Renault Scénic, although a small "Mégane" badge still appeared on the rear door signifying the car's origin. Production ended in June 2003.
The Phase 2 allowed the Scénic to be separate from the Mégane and its predecessor by introducing improvements, such as a storage compartment on the dashboard, and a separate opening rear window on the tailgate.
Another small improvement with the Scénic were the rear head restraints, which were fixed over the back of the seat rather than being upright. This increased rear visibility.
I have to admit that last time i really don't know how to take this little cute guy.Now hopefully it is better.Shot this at Mabul house reef under Seaventures rig.Inon D2000 + Inon M165.
