Special:
- The looks were up to date (modern and aerodynamic ), but technically ahead of its time, this Dyna, codenamed “Projekt AF-G (Aluminium Français - Grégoire), designed by engineer Jean-Albert Grégoire, was at first shown (the Panhard X 84) at the 1946 Paris Motor Show.
- The name "Dyna" was selected, a reference to the Panhard Dynamic before the war.
- Increasingly baroque body decoration led to the range being nicknamed "Louis XV".
- Panhard supplier Facel-Métallon, Paris developed a new process to manufacturer its all steel tubular frame chassis and the all aluminum body in pressed sheets.
- Until Ferrari came along with the Ferrari 360 (1999), it was the only production car to feature an all-aluminum chassis.
- The wheels have no hub. They are assembled by "ears" on the aluminum brake drums.
- The Dyna Series were available as this 4-door Berline, as 3-door Commerciale (with fixed side windows), as 3-door Break (with large sliding windows and a rear seat), as 2 -door Découvrable (Convertible), as 2-door Roadster (Dyna X Junior), as Fourgonette (a closed light Van), as 5-door Limousine, as 5-door Taxi and a rare 3-door Canadienne (a closed “Woody Van” (only 1949) and only 25 units built).
- A very special Dyna is Dynavia, a teardrop shape show/ studie model to study the possibilities of streamlining. Only 2 uinits built and only 1 still excists today.
- Citroën had a minority of 25% interest in Panhard since 1955 and took over the P&L Company in 1965 and let the car brand name "vanish" in 1967.

The most I can open the aperture on this lens is f/2.8, which was fine for my purposes. It does not have IS (most of my lenses don't.) Take a breath, then hold steady, haha. 1/80th of a second @ 70mm.
The camera cries that it's "too underexposed" but I've learned that Canon is terribly bad at metering in the dark. The brightness was just fine.
I've been shooting quite a lot at ISO 800 on the 5D Mk IV. There is a very acceptable amount of noise, which I think adds a wonderful texture effect. In my humble opinion, beyond ISO 800, the noise becomes unbearable.
This photo was taken in Shakespeare Ontario Canada in 1938. It shows an 8 year old LaSalle Coupe altered to be put into service as a tow truck for my Fathers garage business. As rare as these are today at the time big cars like this had little appeal to the average buyer. They were heavy to drive and expensive to maintain and fuel. Their great torque gave them more appeal as a work horse and many ended up doing duty on the farm or as make shift commercial vehicles like shown here. After serving in their latter capacity they had further appeal for scrap during the War drive for steel. The vehicle on the hook is a 1931 Chevrolet Roadster that was repaired and returned to the road. The military wheels were an option however few today use them as they lack the appearance that the standard spoke wheels gave.
For 1930 this Lasalle was on a 134" wheelbase chassis powered by 341 cid V8 engine. Total 1930 production was 14986 units which this convertible coupe was one of.

I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.

Although Austin had made six cylinder cars since 1909, they had mostly been aimed at the chauffeur driven trade. Introduced in January 1931 the 12-6 was instead intended for the owner driver. The engine was a fragile four bearing six, typical of the small sixes briefly popular in the early 1930's and came with bags of torque though restricted performance, top gear would pull from 5 to 55 mph with the 1496cc Harley aimed at the lower tax bracket and sibling more reliable 30bhp 1711cc Ascot. This particular model was a stop gap and was built only between December 1933 to August 1934. Bearing some Harley and some Ascot features. The key identification being the chrome radiator.
This was the first Austin to have an all steel body, from the Pressed Steel Company- The original standard saloon came with a three speed gearbox with the Deluxe introduced in 1932 having four speeds

Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- The original Series 62 was designed by Harley Earl, inspired by the space program and the era of jet engines. For the ’55 models, he introduced its unique rear-deck styling and outrageous new “Shark Fin” tail fins usually called “Rocket-Ship” tail fins.
- The name "DeVille" is from the French "de la ville" or "de ville" meaning "of the town".
- It came standard with knobby, P-38 inspired tail fins, radio, electric windshield washers, heater, leather interior, full carpeting (also in the trunk area), power seats and power windows.
- This Cadillac was built for comfort and not for speed: it’s a real cruiser and could carry six individuals comfortably.
- The 1958 Series 62 was available as this 2-door Coupé DeVille, as 4-door 6239D Sedan DeVillle (23,989 units built), as 4-door 6239 Sedan (13,335 units built), as 2-door 6239E Extended Sedan (20,952 units built), as 2-door 6237 Coupé (18,736 units built), as 2-door 6237S Eldorado Seville Coupé (855 units built), as 2-door 6267S Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (815 units built) and as 2-door 6267 Convertible (7,825 units built).
- This fifth generation Series 62 (1957-1958), and last Harley Earl design (the iconic ’59 huge tailfins with dual bullet tail lights were designed by Bill Mitchell), was assembled in Detroit (Michigan) and in South Gate (California).

Special:
- Mid 30s Buick was designing its first production automobile capable of reaching a speed of 100 mph (1936) and its model name “Century” referred to the Bitish saying “doing the century", meaning going 100 mph.
- The ’58 grille style was called "Fashion Aire Dynastar Grille" and was composed of 160 chromium cubes, a total of about 120 kg of chromium, the largest amount of chrome/metal on a car in the entire automobile history.
- The '58 models are always recognizable by its "cubes front", quad headlights and a circular ornament with a "V" (symbolizing V-8) placed on the front and in the center of the hood. Dual horizontal moldings ran along each side of the vehicle, from front to back.
- Because the Century was considered the senior "small Buick", the model received GM's only ever produced finest and most expensive Hardtop Station Wagon, the Century Caballero, from 1957 (7,011 units built) through 1958 (1,050 units built), positioned near the upper end of the market. The Caballero proved expensive to manufacture and unpopular with customers, so GM did not bring it back for 1959.
- For 1959, Buick renamed the Century the Invicta.
- The optional finned aluminum front drum brakes which gave the Buick the best stopping power of any American car at that time.
- In North-America a three-speed manual gearbox was standard, but the export models had a Dynaflow three-speed automatic gearbox.
- The Century Series 60 was available as this 5-door Estate Wagon, as 4-door Riviera Sedan (2,588 units built), as 4-door Sedan (11,697 units built), as 2-door Riviera Coupé (only 2 units built) and as 2-door Convertible Coupé (8,110 units built).
- They were assembled in Flint (Michigan), in Framingham (Massachusetts) and in Lakewood Heights (Georgia).
- There are not that much survivors.

Special:
- Herbert Austin built his first car, a tiller-steered three wheeler car, in 1895 for Wolseley, Birmingham - UK.
- In 1905 he founded his own company, The Austin Motor Company Limited in Longbridge - UK.

Jan's late A pickup hotrod has finally come back out of the garage with some updates. A stock un-chopped, all-original Ford steel cab appears to be deeply channeled but in fact sits on a very custom frame. The original hood and grill hide a bored and stroked flathead v8 with an Isky cam and a Moon Equipped throttle-body fuel injection disguised as a pair of Stromberg carburetors. Behind the flattie resides a Borg-Warner T10 five-speed turning a custom open driveshaft that spins the Winters quick-change rear end. The bed has been shortened and reworked to fit the custom chassis and suspension components. The trucks original bench seat recovered in white vinyl rounds out the spartan interior. The tool box in the bed holds tools and some small replacement parts. As Jan's daily driver this truck runs smooth and cool, and with the TBI and overdrive transmission gets 28mpg in highway driving while making approximately 250hp and 315 lb/ft of torque. A right proper mix of traditional looks hiding modern components, Jan's little red pickup is just about the most perfect little street rod a girl could want.
-------------------------------------
This truck was an earlier build first seen here: flic.kr/p/qEFn8S and then again with some changes here: flic.kr/p/rKxnBH but it had been sitting around for quite a while looking badly outdated. So I thought it was time to update it a little bit as well as retrofit it to my modular chassis standard. I also made some slight changes to the chassis rear section for this rod to better accommodate and support the pickup bed. I finally acquired four slightly usable old white tires so I thought I would throw those into the mix as well on this build. The biggest challenge was fitting the full "hood" to the modular chassis, I hope it came out OK.
