New pics of my 72 Coronet Wagon

Hey all, I love taking pics and I love my wagon. The following pics are all taken with my iphone, so some are not the best due to light. But the concept of the photo is awesome, I think. I need to get some better camera equipment, then I can really get some awesome shots. Anyway, let me know what you all think. -Jeremy

 

A few more. These ones are pretty grainy due to the light that I had to work with. To bad too as I think they are great shots.

 

Looks more like a New Yorker grille than a Plymouth in that light. Very nice shots.

 

Just my preference here......

I'm not too keen on 'artsy' diagonal vehicle photos, Jeremy. Rather see the vehicle on the level.....

If you want to shoot it at an angle, just find a real steep hill and shoot it goin' up from the bottom......

Shots @ dusk with the lights on are good, though.
Try some in the early AM @ sunrise, into the east....if you can get up that early..LOL

Car looks good, but I'm with Krash on this one......If I wanted to see the car Diagonal I'll lay on my side


I'm glad your having fun with it!

 

So most of you like the "simple" pictures huh? lol I have some of them too.


I guess I don't have as many as I thought. lol

Norman, Its actually A DODGE Coronet. lol, not a Plymouth. But I agree, I don't much care for that grille. I have a 71 grille for it, just want to paint it first. Or maybe I'll just throw it in tonight when it gets cooler.

 

Lookin good, Jmac. It's a beauty.
My favorite one, with out a doubt, is the one on that gravel road with the house lights off in the distance. It's a shame it's not more in focus, though.

 

, you did a nice find with that one

 

I too like the picture on the gravel road with the lights and the RR crossing sign in the background. I like the angle shots as well but maybe not quite as steep of an angle, and maybe without stuff in the background (buildings & power poles) that makes the angle more obvious. As a personal preference, I like to take pictures on the side of the car that has natural light. With my lack of talent, I loose all side detail when I take pictures of the side of the car thats in the shadow, when the hood and roof have natural light. But what can I say, I'm no expert and everyone is a critic.

When ever I see these wagons, it amazes me how much they also look like the pictures I've seen of the 71 and up Aussie Chrysler and Valiant wagons. I would love to see a side by side comparison of an Aussie Mopar wagon along side of one of these 71-73 Coronet wagons of the same vintage.

 

Very cool! I just joined--i have a 72 brady bunch green Coronet too--318 with a 4 speed

 

Nice car! I actually really like that grille in it! I actually like it better than the 1971 grille.

There was one identical to that one on one episode of the Brady Bunch when "Mike and Carol" go to the Tiki caves to find the boys... its in one of the Hawaii episodes - the last of a 3-part series if I recall. I think the one in the show is a 1971 though.

 

D-O-D-G-E... NOT ply-M-O-U-T-H before brain in gear...

You'd think I, of all people, would remember. My wife is a Coronel, and I DODGE her a lot.

 

Very nice pics. I think I'll try to get a good one today of my Caprice Estate. I guess you need to be a bit of a visionary to come up with good pics in the city like where I live.

 

Baltimore? How about Fells Point. I recall a little dead end street and I think an old restored sailing ship right at the end of the street and an antique shop full of Marine antiques. Its been years since I've been there, but remember I had plans of getting my Barracuda over there early some Sunday morning for photos, but, its an hour and 40 minute drive, and I don't like driving the vintage car in the city. Also, as I recall, at the B&O Train Museum in Baltimore, the parking lot goes right up to and around some of the vintage steam engines. That would be another Baltimore City Kodak moment for your wagon.

 

Well, I went hunting for a good place to take pictures and got lost. I ended up on a dirt road in the middle of the mountains and had no real idea where I was (I won't be doing that again). I ended up doing a little bit of damage to the wagon and scratched the hell out of the pass side (due to bushes), nearly fell off of a several hundred foot ledge, and drove the wagon to about 9700 feet elevation. The trail I was on for the last part is a decent jeep trail other than the fact that it is actually tapered towards a several hundred foot drop off. I wish I would have taken some pics, but I was to white knuckled and couldn't wait to get down. When I finally found a place I figured I could turn the wagon around, I did. It was very close, at one point there was a 50+ foot drop off less than a foot away from my front tire and a three + foot drop off on the rear. Needless to say, I was a little puckered. But I am fairly glad I did it as I saw some very beautiful back country and got a few fair pics. I am sad that I scratched the wagon, but it is a good story and some good bonding with the car. As for the performance of the car, I couldn't be happier. It didn't give me one ounce ounce of trouble and even though we drove on some ruff dirt roads with many places I was worried I might get high centered. The car did fantastic and I now think that these are the ultimate camping machines. I love this car!!!!
