John, I like even though I don't have a clue how to indicate it as I once could.

I love the model but even as a kid I hated that fairly popular tutone yellow/black combo.

Great car, nice images but as with some others, not my favourite colours.

"does this garage make me look fat?".... 🤨 ......I would love to own that piece John,and your photo-work is up to it`s always exacting standards......but for the first time in my recollection,I`m down-voting the color clashed background you used in this shoot

Hey, my friend, I hate change just as much as you. Took me a little time too - just below John picture, to the right of his post count, is a 'thumbs-up' icon. place your cursor on it. It will give you a blue thumbs-up and, above it, a red thumbs-down. Click the blue thumbs-up and you got it sir!!

Oh, SO agreed. But now, as a long period of time marches on  -  I love it. Go figure!  Nerd

Nice model. I will be different - I like the yellow and black color combination.

@david-green This isn't another of those "Great minds..." things again, is it?

I've always loved the '50's two-tone Black/Yellow color combo.  And on this DeSoto it rocks big time.  Great pics John of a model I'm glad I have parked on car shelves.

JB, great effort, but I believe Bob is trying to indicate "I like" rather than "I reacted", I personally already largely stopped reacting.

JM, awesome pictures.

@rich-sufficool I agree, I don't like the black/yellow that much either, in fact I don't think I have any models in black/yellow except the Ferrari below and maybe a Camaro. Appears too aggressive to me ... exceptions are sports cars and 1930's Horch's and MB's

Thanks for your help JB and Chav. I tried Tony's advice and it worked. Nice to have friends with sharp minds.
