Some classic cars
Went to my parents' garage last week to pick up my summer wheels, and decided to take a few pictures of some of the cool classic cars my dad has stored there.
(Oh, if you see no pics, add an exception for phyrefile in your adblock plus, it freaks out because there's "/ad/" in the links) 1950 Studebaker R10 van:      1912 Mercer Raceabout:        1955 DKW RT250S:    1937 Cadillac La Salle halfway through a restoration:      1977 VW Golf GL:    1978 Volvo 262C:     Comments please  I kinda like a lot of these photos, although i can see in a few where i went wrong.

Cool cars
A few of the closeups are a little out of focus, what lens were you using? If I have my 18-135 on and need to take a closeup (and can't be bothered to change to the macro) I find it easier to focus if I step back and zoom a little more, but there need to be sufficient light or it'll end up just as blurry.

Do your parents own these cars or the garage?

You mentioned that you wife has a 20 year old Suzuki Swift, I think the Raceabout has close to the same amount of power as that Swift.

No, i haven't driven or ridden in it (yet). And sadly it's not worth the $1m of the other examples, since it no longer has it's original engine.

When my parents return from Cuba (they're on holiday there) i think i'll ask them a few times for some keys for a few proper photoshoots, after i scout the area for cool locations of course.

Wow, what a nice collection. I'm especially impressed of the Studebaker van, a car I've never ever seen in real life so far!
