I don't know why, but I thought of Bonnie and Clyde as this Model A went by, even though it is nothing like the bullet-riddled hard-top they were driving.

I am no expert on the Model A, but I do have the internet. It appears to be a 1930 Model A Phaeton.

Like the pix. Looks like you took it back in the early '30's with that nice B+W treatment.

I agree with lesmore49. The sepia tone, or similar treatment adds to the nostalgic feel. There is a letter in a museum somewhere that Clyde Barrow wrote to Henry Ford thanking him for producing the V8 engine. Some have doubted the authenticity of the letter but wouldn't surprise me.

Thanks Dave! Supposedly the letter is in the Henry Ford Museum, although it is not in a display. Their website has an image of it.

A window into the past. Nice job, Todd - a great combination of subject, composition and post processing!
