1950 Studebaker and a 1938 pump. I came across this sitting in a nice man's yard while driving home from a long trip to central PA one day. I stopped and asked the man if I could walk into his yard to photograph the car and he told me stories about how it had made the cover of a magazine at one point and that he had been asked numorous times to sell it, but never did... I felt like if I would have been willing to stay and have a beer and chat, that he would have much abliged. I wanted to thank him, even if he may never see this picture or posting;
Thank you stranger.
And thank you to everyone else for your useful comments and votes. I hope you enjoyed this one.

Taken outside the realm of the 'standard' old car shot by the fact that you have incorporated such a dilapidated looking fuel pump (is it really working?)
Beautifully composed shot. Feels fisheyed, which really adds to the perspective. I'm not a big fan of the toning - the toning adds to the old factor but is just a tad too strong imho.
