These are some of my fathers images from WWII. I remember him saying he shot with a Russian copy of a Leica and a 6x9cm folding plate camera that he used glass plates in. The attached images were shot in Belgium, France and England between 1942 and 1945. The film is a nitrate based film and have no idea the brand.
A couple more images from WWII.
It looks like it was used in the Mission Impossible TV series. Tres cool.
The photo in the original post, with the classic Citroen type H , is really amazing. This is the case when we can say, oldie but goldie! I have never seen one in real life, but my dad said that it was one of the favorite utility trucks he has ever seen in real life. After the second world war he actually stayed in France, and his only "car" was this onld citroen. Recently, he was thinking about importing such a truck, however there are so many things that he actually forgot about it. He actually had to read some info about it on http://www.cararac.com, as in there you might find a hell a lot of really useful information regarding any car.

1965 Mercedes 230SL Bought this about 25 years ago in Morro Bay, CA when I was dating a girl from Pismo Beach. Been wanting one of these ever since I was a teenager and just happened to stumble upon this one while spending the day in Morro Bay. Surprisingly, I'm just the second owner of this classic. Its been restored to "driver" status...can't see the point in doing a concourse-quality restoration and never get to actually enjoy the car (well, at least that's just me, for what its worth). Runs like a charm and tons of fun just cruising around, top down of course. But it may be time to let it go and let someone else get some enjoyment from a great little roadster. My fantasy car has always been the 300SL Gullwing, but those are so far out of reach for me money-wise I'd need Lotto money. But the 230SL was a nice substitute.
Bought this just as it was being sent to purgatory. In storage 20 years where I parked my truck. Love at first sight.
Paid $100, put $500 into it for paint and misc. Never a top, if it rained hard I put a cover on it and I stood in the rain. No rust ever.
Drove it for 10 Years, then sold for $2500 and saw it for years in repair shops
Way too small these days, the first 1/4 mile we drove after paint a maniac nearly squashed us both
Then magic, I always found Rock Star parking at clubs, she ran well for me.
