Photos in black snd white

I prefer the blackwall tires on this model.  Great pics David!

Who makes the ones with wood trim?

John, the ones with the wood color paint scheme are made by US Model Mint. Brooklin reworked the ‘49 2wd to  update the model to a ‘52 4wd. The US Model Mint Willys models are extremely scarce but as we speak there are a couple available on the internet. It’s really a nice little replica of the actual car. Some had white walls and went to the country club.  The ones with black tires looked more utilitarian.

Black and white photos often are quite good. Using black and white for older vehicles helps give the look of a realistic scene from many years ago, when black and white was much more common.

And Sepia is also as appropriate for vintage cars at it is for portraits of that era. This ‘47 Cadillac is, perhaps, a good example..

And these dairy farm views in sepia with vintage Divco milk trucks seem appropriate as well.

Those pictures with the Cadillac and Divco trucks look great. If I did not know better, I would think they were photos of real vehicles. One question, is the Cadillac a Brooklin model?

Yes Ed. It’s BRK 184 finished in French Gray. Brooklin has done this car in several paint schemes, all of them very attractive. John Merritt has pictured two other color schemes on the internet. (Thanks John for these!)

I decided to give a black and white photo a try.  A while back I took a photo of a Madison Models 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Sedan using a Christmas card as a background. I just made a copy of the picture and converted it to black and white.  See attached.  Not quite as good as your backgrounds, but interesting effect.

That winter scene works well and the black and white photo I think is quite effective. Nice Pontiac too, Ed. It’s fun to experiment with different possibilities isn’t it! The possibilities are endless.
