Sad. But if it is a Californian car it's probably not much rust. You rarely see cars of that age in the streets (here), as they rotted away after not too many winters during the 70's or so. And that one looks like it is a daily drive which is just awesome. Model is Monza Coupe from perhaps -62 and it can have the optional Turbo (!) fitted upon the flat-6 in the rear. And then some say Saab invented the turbo for street cars in the 70's...
Love that early body coupe though it is a true oddball in many respects.

yeah, cars do seem to last much longer here than they did in chicago. a big part of that was all the salt they put on the roads there making everything rust.

I think Sony should make an RX1 marketing page solely out of Sebboh's excellent images. Surely would have to help sell quite a few cameras...

Great work everyone!
sebboh, your B&Ws are always so nice. I need to practice more with B&W processing.
Winter light scenes:
It can be frustrating to be out on the roads this time of year. Gorgeous light and views, but usually there is nowhere to stop the car (narrow roads with walls of snow on both sides). Finally when you do find a place there's nothing interesting in sight. So, even though I usually get home with a few decent shots it's often with a feeling that I missed many much better ones.

Nice pictures all. I'm still liking the size of the RX1 allowing it to be with me so much. I come across unexpected cool things in unlikely places and I am ready to go.

I like the texture of the shopping cart shot, canerino. Helena; Your shots of Norway are great from both the RX1 & GR. And sebboh, the high ISO shots are impressive.
Combined with the Ricoh GR it makes for a great travel cam.

I just received the Rx1 that I bought off ebay. Had to take the camera with me when I picked up my daughter from school and stopped for a bite to eat. So many pics in this thread show a real 3D quality to the pics, and one of the first pics I took with my RX1 wide open show that same 3D effect.

Today we went ice skating. The ice was perfect, but it was too windy, so I spent most of the time taking photos of the cracks. The last one formed just in front of me with a great boom.

helena – sorry to hear about the wind, sometimes it can be nice when there is enough to push you across the ice, but only if you have suitable face covering.
i really like this second one:

it looks like the kind of image that could be blown up huge and made into a mural too without any real detriment in quality too.

Thank you sebboh! Yes, it was fun to be swept across the lake with no effort, but scary too, because after a while it just went too fast. Not to mention how hard it was to get back to where we started...

Good morning Helena,
You continue to amaze me. I am very confused by those photos, how were they taken? Are you using the "macro" facility of the RX1?
Have you got a photo that shows the context of those images?

Thank you for the kind words (and everyone for the likes). The cracks are relatively big and many go straight across the lake, so I just bent down and took a shot here and there when I saw something interesting. The "scene" in #2 was probably about 20cm across and the last one half a meter or so. No macro setting needed. Unfortunately I didn't take any over-views, but if I go there again I'll see if I can come up with something.

Awesome photos Helena! I think if I was on some ice and it cracked under me I'd be hightailing it for dry land and not taking pictures, no matter how cool the crack looks.
Guess maybe if its thick enough it can crack and not pose a risk for safety ?
