During a recent business trip, I visited Harrisburg, PA Airport, where the AACA Museum in Hershey, PA had several items on display. Notably, a 1924 Moon 6-50 Touring Car captured my attention due to its distinctive design. I was particularly liked the elegant curvature of the fenders as they gracefully encircle both the primary wheel and the spare. In the image, the wheels are positioned diagonally, allowing the fender to highlight both sets of wheels with continuity.
I processed the image in Lightroom Classic and exported into Photoshop where I used the detail extractor filter in Nik Color Efex to add more detail and then use Silver Efex to convert the image to monochrome.

Chris,
I like your close up of this roaring twenties Moon machine. They used the spare as a design feature rather stick it on the back or hidden in the trunk.

Thanks Emil. I agree with you with the designs of the cars in the 20s. The designed made a statement rather than another jelly bean shaped car we see today.   Posted: 10/02/2025 12:35:26

Chris, I keep coming back to your image. It's absolutely fantastic! Each time I look at it, I see something different. Most recently, I've seen a wild pair of eyes, and the fender has become a curved nose. (Pareidolia) I can't think of any way to modify your photograph except perhaps lowering the brightest areas in the background.
Well seen, well captured, and well processed!

Chris - I love the pattern in the wheels - I also get the sensation that they are in motion. I wanted to see what effect removing the background would have - I feel that this concentrates the viewer on the main subject - the wheels.
