Owen, if you have hundreds or a thousand or so slides, you are obligated to scan those... . The historical information is priceless, the artistic value is at a premium and the topic is so relevant.

I just finished scanning about 4500 of my fathers slides and negatives and about 5000 of my own. It took me over a year but it is so worth it in the end. I have and you have images of cars that are captured in time from an early era.

As with my father's photos, and probably what will happen to yours, is I fished them out of the trash bin after his house flooded. Luckily, I was able to save about 98% of them.

I began my scanning project with my photos but when I ran into my father's photos, I couldn't put his down. Most of mine were film, most of his were slides and they dated back to the mid 1940's.

One thing became very apparent to me and that was the quality of the slides was head and shoulders above anything I have seen, film, digital, You name it, slides are the bomb. I bought a Canon scanner for under $200 and used Adobe lightroom to clean them up....I had mold residue to contend with. I'm scanning the slides at 9600 dpi and the film at 4800. It takes forever, but the detail the scanner captures if well worth it.

I would highly encourage you to continue...of yeah, his black and white photos are probably my second favorite.

Fantastic effort ....bravo..

51Packard300 has him beat by a year and his Packard is his 5th car he is putting back on the road.

Boy that 52 is nice as well.

Hi 51Packard300,

Welcome aboard, I am really glad you made it.

Thanks, after talking with my mechanic it looks like the 6006 is the wayy to go. The blades on the bulb are shorter, do you think they'll still work?

Thanks

I stopped by NAPA to buy a replacement headlight and they couldn't seem to cross reference it. It's a GE 4030 7 inch headlight. Has anyone else run into this?

Any tips on sourcing one?

Thanks

Looks like I'll have a new owner for my Club Sedan in Williamsport and he is asking if I can suggest a good repair shop

Thanks

That looks like that will be a lot of fun to drive

This car looks amazing
