I will have to admit that close cropped 'abstract' images of classic cars are a favorite of mine. This late afternoon sunlight reflected on the chrome shield (ineffective for real world rocks) detail of the 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Vanvooren Cabriolet seen in it's entirety in the previous image, appeals to my art sense more than images of the entire car surrounded by mobs of people and other cars. Since no one has ever tossed me the keys to their multimillion dollar baby, and said 'take all the weeks you want to find the ideal spot, and wait for the perfect weather, preferably moody stormy skies..............I adapted many years ago to darting in among the crowds, to get my interesting closeup. I think this is a nice one, but then I am biased. I have blown this one up to 40"X30" and it is pretty bold when really big.

This unique 1.5 Liter Aston Martin LM3 was the only new factory-built Aston Martin team car for 1929, and was part of an elite group of 7 factory works racers built between 1927-31 to compete internationally.
The third car to be more precise and the only hand-crafted Works Team Aston Martin built in 1929 which was actually raced by company director Augustus Bertelli himself.
This, at the time new “sports model” was much lighter than previous race models. Whereby most of the bronze parts were replaced by aluminium produced ones. Initially, the chassis was fitted with a two-seater pointed-tail racing body with no doors. LM3 had its track debut in the first ever Double 12 Hour meeting at Brooklands with Bertelli and chief mechanic Jack Bezzant sharing driving duties finishing a creditable 5th. After this, many other international events followed.

A roundabout in Brimsdown, near Enfield, where a number of flags have gone up, now mostly hidden by bushes. I note that the gutters are full of weeds here!

120-year-old Mummers Parade, which has been cancelled only twice (1919 and 1934), will not be held in 2021 :(
Odd art deco mascot, and I have seen it on 2 Delahayes and a Delage over the years. Don't know the maker or 'name' of the mascot but it is very distinctive. I like it but it is probably an acquired taste, and........OK i am more than a little eccentric. You can be very sure your neighbor doesn't have the identical one.
During the times...I want to show i support my Flag......only part of it, but all US America People knows what it is......We Honor it. Not in the manner that BLM does.
Class winning 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron, with all the bells, whistles and Bling to set you well apart from the hoi-paloi in their Chevys and Fords.
Introduced for the 1931 model year, the Chrysler Series CG Imperial was larger, more powerful and more luxurious than its predecessor. Styled by Al Leamy, the Imperial CG borrowed heavily from the Leamy-designed Cord L-29, and featured a v-shaped radiator, an elongated hood, flowing fenders and a split windshield with a steeper rake than the Cord. Amenities included passenger sun visors, adjustable seats, an adjustable steering column, hydraulic brakes, vibration-dampening rubber engine mounts, rust-proofed body and fenders, and laminated safety glass.
Starting at 'only' $3,575 for a LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton, full-custom options hiked the price significantly higher. Given the state of the U.S. economy in 1931, it’s not surprising that a mere 85 LeBaron dual-cowl phaetons were ordered by customers.
Power for all CG Imperials came from a new 384.83-cu.in. straight-eight L-head engine, rated at 125 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The dash from 0 to 60 MPH took in the neighborhood of 20 seconds, and the plus-size Imperial, which measured 17 feet from stem to stern, was reportedly capable of hitting 96 MPH.
