American beauties

I was out for a walk in Soho the other day when I stumbled upon a stretch of Mercer Street that seemed to have time-traveled back a few decades.  It was lined with a fine collection of American classic cars, no doubt being used in the filming of Men In Black III.  I've never been a big automobile fan, but I have to admit, these beauties made my day.

Bonus:  rusted clunkers in front of Gourmet Garage, which I found funny.

And, a day of cars wouldn't be complete without a soundtrack:

    Nice shots, especially the Cadillac! The front of it kind of looks like a bulldog! And a perfect song at the end.

    Galaxy -- now that's a word we don't hear often enough. A spectacular branding choice, car maker, spectacular.

    Nice shots, Goggla!
