1949 GMC 150

1949 GMC 150
This was parked in front of a muffler shop. Presumably, this needs more than a new muffler. ;-p When I was two years old, this was a new pickup! It has a lot of big holes drilled around the walls of the bed and around the grille. Would that be to reduce the weight? I've never seen anything like that.

Regarding the image; In order to "fudge" the crowding at the front of the truck's image, I added some stuff for breathing space. This is an example of the difficulty I have taking pictures with poor eyesight,now. I didn't see that the image wasn't properly in the frame. So, I could go back and do it again tomorrow, or just add something called a mirror frame and call it a day. ;-)

I really like the colours in this old motor Diane.............yellow, rust and green go so well together.

I know next to nothing about cars, but I guess the holes around the front grill could be to help cool the engine but no idea about the other ones...........maybe they're all just for decoration?

My advice regarding framing with poor eyesight would be to frame much wider that you would normally do and then crop to the right size once you have the photo on your bigger computer screen, where hopefully, you'll be able to see better. I quite often do that :-)

Looks fine to me, Diane. It doesn't have to be in the middle. And from our knowledge of automotive design we can conclude that the missing bit is probably like the opposite bit we can see but the other way round.

Haha! I like your reasoning, John. Thank you very much for the laugh!
