An old Studebaker pick-up truck.

Canon F1 with Canon FL 50/1.4 and Fuji 200 film. (Just got the lens fixed and wanted to shoot with it. It was stuck wide open. Oil on the diaphragm blades.)

So, this isn't at f/1.4 then?! ;)

What a wonderful softness this has Brian. Velvety. And the colours and composition are very nice indeed.

Thanks, Pete. Going on holiday at the end of the week and I thought I would take my F1 and this lens, so that's why I got it fixed and wanted to take some test shots. (I had originally planned to take the OM-2N, but the shutter is acting up. Had it tested. Slow speeds are OK, but fast speeds are problematic at the moment. I'll get it fixed, but not now.)
 
All I can say Brian is that this is an excellent image. Like everything about it. Love the way the glass in the headlights have turned out.
 
Pete mentioned the softness and I agree totally. You could write a book on the number of good images destroyed by the obsession with pin sharpness.
The colours are real nice and don't shout out at you.

Thanks, Tom! Pin sharpness is off-putting to me usually; that's one reason why film so appealing to me.
