Too late. We were all Somewhere in Time, and you had to pull that 1979 penny out of your pocket. Bam... back to reality. LOL Sent from my VS835 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

As for the tub,theres a build thread on here somewhere..Do a search for The Jingletown Special and it should pop up..
https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-jingletown-special-my-29-phaeton-build.871312/ Since this is a celebration of vintage timewarp...Seix seems to be hardwired on nailing just that...you are a talent... I used to work in a Wartime Aviation plant and that looks very similar to just that... It was McDonnell Douglas Canada and wouldn't that just be a coincidence if that was our Long Beach Destination for Product...All gone now... Credit to Photographer, Owner
Thanks for the kind words..That photo was taken by myself at the long closed Alameda Naval Air Station.It does look very similar to other aviation sites i’ve visited,so the reference to Long Beach makes since! Man Do I miss that little Tub sometimes Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Like everyone else, I was too drawn to this photo the second I saw it. Timing is everything. The timing that this photo was shot, as well as the timing the shot was posted. Those two things rarely ever sync up as perfectly as they did for this shot, but when they do its insane how your mind forgets about everything going on around you and focuses on the beauty of a single photo. One of my all-time favs. I'd love to purchase a print of this.
Hello, Great story and outstanding photo. Much care was taken in the roadster photo. Simple, but centered in its composition. Film cameras always had that feeling of picking the right moment for a photo. Sometimes it is frustrating when nothing works, but those times when everything does, it is a great feeling. Back in those 35mm film camera days, it may have been that developing a 36 shot roll of color slide photos was expensive and one had to take care of what and how the photo was shot. It was helpful to have a second 35mm camera with different B/W film types in it for experimentation. Digital cameras give some continuity as if using an old 35mm film camera, but faster developing and ability to adjust the photo. But, accessible phone cameras just take too many photos without composition, hoping that one out of 100s will come out. Even then, a photo program is necessary to get the right photo in the right moment. So, that causes a dilemma. Your story shows that a simple, but well-designed hot rod, in a well-chosen background can be just as appealing to all concerned. That color roadster photo could have been B/W and still looked good. A sample of good photograph within a thought-out composition. Jnaki Lee Hammock's 1934 Ford California Top Phaeton. GOLETA, CA... STOW HOUSE BUILT IN 1873 Stow House The location, the hot rod, film camera, composition, and different photo angles all make for a good photograph.
