Special:
- Gräf & Stift Wien was an Austrian manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, buses and trolleybuses, founded in 1895 by the brothers Franz, Heinrich and Karl Gräf, participated by Wilhelm Stift.
- The brothers first car, powered by a De Dion-Bouton engine, was the first front-wheel drive car in the world.
- Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo in a 1911 Gräf & Stift Double Phaeton 28/32 PS (car no. 287 owned by Count Franz von Harrach), which incident ushered World War I.
- Gräf & Stift made very luxury automobiles for "Kings and Emperors", but hadn’t developed a passenger car since 1929.
- Bundeskanzler (Chancellor) Kurt Alois Josef Johann (Edler von) Schuschnigg had a Gräf & Stift SP 8, with whom he had an accident in 1935. Thereafter he used a Steyr 530 as official vehicle. The government “pushed” the Kanzler to purchase a Mercedes, to spawn Hitler, who desired the “Anschluss” of Austria.
- Schuschnigg did not liked that idea, and ordered the Gräf brothers in 1937 to build a typical Austrian official vehicle.
- The brothers “bypassed” the costly development by using stock parts, like SP 8 axles, suspension, ZF gearbox, etc. and ordered a V-12 Lincoln engine in America.
- They did not even bother to convert the 6-Volts Lincoln engine to 12-Volts, what was common at Gräf & Stift. Therefore, it is also the only Gräf & Stift automobile with a 6-Volts electric system.
- The chassis and body were handmade at there own plant in Wien.
- The C 12 was not yet finished when Bundeskanzler Schuschnigg resigned and the car survived WWII as company car of the Gräf & Stift company.
- It has a four-speed manual ZF gearbox (third and fourth synchronized and top was a geared-up "overdrive" ratio) + reverse with vacuum servo assistance, steering column shifter, a 6-Volts electric system, a 110 liter fuel tank, multi-plates discs clutch, shaft drive and rear wheel drive.
- The chassis (with centralised lubrication system) with steel body (L550xW190xH175cm, track width front 153cm, track width rear 135cm) was handmade, has a 138.58 inch wheelbase, hydraulic shock absorbers all around, longitudinal semi-elliptic front and rear suspension and vacuum powered hydraulic drum brakes all round.
The Dodge Dart is an automobile originally built by Dodge from 1960 to 1976 in North America, with production extended to later years in various other markets. The Dart nameplate was resurrected for a Fiat-derived compact car introduced in 2013. The Dart name originally appeared on a 1957 show car featuring a body designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Ghia. The production Dart was introduced as a lower-priced, shorter wheelbase, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car for 1962, and finally was a compact from 1963 to 1976.

Buenas fotos de la sesión de ayer, resultó más productiva de lo que pensé. Ya tenía mucho tiempo ciclado en fotografía de paisajes y algo de acción ayudó a refrescarme.
Creo que esta es mi foto favorita de ayer, no tiene mucho dinamismo por parte del auto, sin embargo creo que la puesta de sol complementa bastante bien a la imagen.

Image from my series called "Work spaces". This is an image of the garage owned by Lou Mandich, Unionville, Pennsylvania. The garage breathes new life into old automobiles. I am interested in the collections that one is surrounded with, and I hope that in some way these images become a kind of portrait. My images are created using light painting, allowing me to show tremendous detail, shape and texture, all of which are captured by the P45+.

1947 Delahaye Model 135 M – Figoni & Falaschi ‘Narval’ Cabriolet
Delahaye 135 was an automobile manufactured by Delahaye. Designed by young engineer Jean François, it was produced from 1935 until 1954 in many different body styles. A sporting tourer, it was also popular for racing.
The Delahaye 135, also known as "Coupe des Alpes" after its success in the Alpine Rally, was first presented in 1935 and signified Delahaye's decision to build sportier cars than before. The 3.2-litre overhead valve straight-six with four-bearing crankshaft was derived from one of Delahaye's truck engines and was also used in the more sedate, longer wheelbase (3,160 mm or 124 in) Delahaye 138. Power was 95 hp (71 kW) in twin carburetor form,[2] but 110 hp (82 kW) were available in a version with three downdraught Solex carbs,[1] offering a 148 km/h (92 mph) top speed. The 138 had a single carburetor and 76 hp (57 kW), and was available in a sportier 90 hp (67 kW) iteration.[3]
The 135 featured independent, leaf-sprung front suspension, a live rear axle, and cable operated Bendix brakes. 17-inch spoked wheels were also standard. Transmission was either a partially synchronized four-speed manual or four-speed Cotal pre-selector transmission.[4]
Competition 135s set the all-time record at the Ulster Tourist Trophy and placed second and third in the Mille Miglia in 1936,[5] and the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans.[6]
The list of independent body suppliers offering to clothe the 135 chassis is the list of France's top coachbuilders of the time, including Figoni & Falaschi, Letourneur et Marchand, Guilloré, Marcel Pourtout, Frères Dubois, J Saoutchik, Franay, Antem and Henri Chapron.[7]
Production of the 3.2-litre version ended with the German occupation in 1940 and was not taken up again after the end of hostilities.
