Cool Fall in Western NY

It was a record high temperature today (83F) so I took the afternoon off and went for a drive to check out the leaves. It's not peak color yet, but here's some of the best I found, with my car, of course.

What's going on with the wheels? In some of the shots it looks like the are at an angle from the rest of the car. Tilted inward at the top of the tires.

I think it must be some sort of strange lens effect from my iphone - like a fisheye. After I looked at the photos, I actually went out to the garage to look at my wheels - they are straight. If you look at the enclosed photo, you will see the front wheel looks angled. In other photos, the back wheel looks angled.

I agree, the front wheels do look to be at a different angle in this shot. Regardless, the colours of the trees match the colours of the 34 Sedan. Very nice. Perfect.

Jim,


Very beautiful car and photos ! I also see a healthy sized exhaust pipe on each side before the rear tires. Still running a flathead V8. The car looks lowered too.
