O.K. gotta admit, why and where the hell do you need a R-drive other than to deliver mail. http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/4886805979.html

And the right hand drive thing isn't even mentioned in the ad, like its normal.

You think the photos are transposed? The wipers appear to be wrong also....

The Hood letters read D R O F to me.
At least that explains Ross' Absence. He's in Galaxie's right now. ;)

 

[polara71]

I can't see that on my device but that confirms it

 

[detmatt]

I can't make that out either, how does that happen? Kinda blowing my mind right now, transposed?

 

[Bryan]

The pictures are all backwards. I zoomed in - FORD letters are all transposed backward as are the Galaxie scripts on front fenders. The radiator reservoir is also backward on the engine shots.

 

[tbm3fan]

Backwards, out of focus and poor angles. Just who the hell, or what, shot those pictures?

I sure hope Craigslist isn't archived for posterity because, if it is, and some higher beings land here 10,000 years from now they will think not only were we stupid but we were really, really stupid.

How about a quick explanation on how to transpose a picture.

I have been pondering that assuming they are digital. Back in the days when I shot, developed and printed my own B&W all you had to do was place the negative upside down in the enlarger. Same when doing a contact print by putting it down upside down. However, there are no negatives involved here. Now maybe there is something in the cameras program that could do it. Yet, answer me this, how many have ever read those 200 page manuals that come with your basic point and shoot digital camera? If one hasn't read it then one most likely couldn't do it. On my basic point and shoot I have to pull the manual out in order to find where I can change exposure to 1 sec, 2 sec., and so forth. That means I haven't read and absorbed the whole thing and photography is a hobby.

The pics are definitely flipped. Where those cars are is not far from where I grew up. It's all high desert out there. Lots of adobe. Lots. Very dry and low humidity, so these are likely in good shape, in terms of sheet metal and such.

 

[Wollfen]

Mm nice RHD car, or its "transposed" Then again I may have just flipped the image ;)

 

[patrick66]

Besides, the pedal placement on a RHD is the SAME as a LHD drive car - gas on the right, brake in the middle, clutch on the left. See the flip?

Yes, I see what you did. Just pointing out these things to those that may not know.

Easy to do with photo editing software but not likely to be done by accident by taking pics, uploading, posting

Someone would have to be messing with the picture with some photo editing software, even simple stuff like microsoft paint, for that to happen

Yes, I would say the skill level needed to use photo editing programs would be a couple of pay grades above this fellow.

Backwards or forwards I like the cars.
