La Cadillac Coupe de Ville Hardtop 1964 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Français/French
Voici une des 38,195 Cadillac Coupe De Ville Hardtop produite en 1964. C'était une voiture lourde et élancé avec ses 4500 lbs. Un moteur de 429 pouces cubes développant 340 chevaux la propulsait. Le prix de l'époque se situait autour des 5400$.
Celle-ci pourrait encore servir pour les pièces ou pour un éventuel maniac d'autos pour restoration complète.

I like our composition,

Hello Denis

Wow (ajajajajaj ajajajajaj ... )
Georgeous, amazing, splendid etc ...
but in my opinion a bit cropping of the top is necessary.

Great artistic work. Very well done Denis.
I like the picture and this car :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Salut Denis,
Très intéressantes image et automobile ! Ce modèle pourrait bien sûr intéresser un collectionneur ou un nostalgique de l'époque. Le cadrage est parfait, le ciel était avec toi lors de cette prise de vue. Luminosité et contraste sont excellents. Du bon boulot !
Bonne nuit

Hi Denis,
Very interesting looking old wreck. This low angle shows well that wing design. Funny how brown and green rusty surfaces are in harmony with bluish clouds.

What a great car to photograph! An interesting variety of colors, and I really like the pov and framing. TFS

Dyerco (9380) 2008-10-30 7:03

Hi Denis
Boy you would have to have lots of passion to restore that one. I like the low angle here to emphasize the size of the car. Excellent exposure.
Nocely done.
Phil

Olá Denis,
gosto dessas suas imagens de carros antigos, e já apodercidos, sempre belos e marcantes modelos da indústria. Gostei desse céu carregado sobre ele também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hi Denis,
Needs a bit of work but the rust does contast brilliantly with the stormy silver blue sky.
Excellent details to this old land shark with its iconic fins seen in sharp details.
The colors are ture with excellent sharpness to this antique image.

Hi Denis,
a dark sky over this old car... I remember the old time, I have seen this cars when I was a young man.
TFS.
Ciao
Ludo
P.S. This evening I posted a car produced in 1932.

stego (22500) 2008-10-30 16:42

Salut Denis,
Like an old gentleman, this car manages to keep its noblesse despite the state of despair. The low PoV, the dramatic sky and the achieved colour treatment combine together to produce an outstanding image. Bravo!
Amicalement, José.

Salut Denis,
Tout d'abord, je dois vous dire de ne pas permettez-moi de mettre un sourire sur la photo vous avez dit hier, ne me laisse pas, je ne comprends pas ce qui se passe.
Une bonne capture de cette ancienne relique dans son abandon total. Prend un très très bon singulier avec des détails et des couleurs.
Amitiés,
Charo

Salut Denis!
Magnifique photo de cette vieille Cadillac, je m'en souviens bien c'était la mode des ailes arrières surmonrées, j'avais une Plymouth Fury dans le temps payèe 4200$. Elle n'ira plus bien loin mais ça rappelle de bons souvenirs. Bon rendu des couleurs sous un ciel nuagexux.
Félicitations!... et bonne soirée,
Emilius

Bonsoir Denis,

Dans l'état où elle est, je la classerait dans la catégorie de «vieille minoune».

Il y a fort à parier que le dernier propriétaire, un homme peu fortuné mais d'un naturel inventif aît remplacé le plancher tout rouillé et percé par une «slab» de béton armé ou mieux encore par un plancher type «slab» de résidus monolithiques que l'on trouve à profusion tout près de chez-toi.

Hi, Denis,
I like your oldtimer's collection! Just a spirit of epoch! The Beatles, The Vietnam War, hippy...
Thank for this memories, Danis.
I am not so old, but I like this times through movies and books.
