Gangster's car_Ananglyph 3D stereo picture: You need Red/Cyan glasses

Image by Shahrokh Dabiri
While ago I took series of pictures from some old cars that i found in an old car exhibition in Tehran.
one of them was like those cars I had seen in the Gangster movies so i decided to add some extra elements to make it looks like a real Gangster's car :-)

I cropped the car stereo tightly to add more scary mood to the scene then added few gangsters elements like guns, bullet holes, gangster shoe and a gangster portrait on my picture!
Except the bullet holes, you can find the original raw pictures from every element that i used in my picture, on the link below;
Click here
As you see my added items have been flat 2D pictures so I converted each of them to 3D before applying them on my picture!
Does anyone of you knows about the model and year of this classic car?
Your comments are so welcome to me. don't hesitate to write something for me.

Tariq Goddard: The Picture of Contented New Wealth (Out this September!)

"The Picture of Contented New Wealth"
Cover design by Mat Osman, photograph by Little Lioness.

"In the brilliant red doom of a Hampshire Sunset, Brigit Conti can hear a voice behind her ears that is not her own. Bed-bound, and complaining of a rare bone disease that no Doctor can diagnose, her husband fears that the house they have purchased is a portal through which an older, more malign energy has passed, possessing his wife and son. Through their successive deterioration, his secular and agnostic world-view undergoes a metamorphosis, drawing him to a strange man from the hills: the Rector, their unlikely saviour."

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the J. Gurney & Son stereoview Minnie Conway, head-and-shoulders portrait, wearing hat, facing left. After the death of her father (d1874) and mother (d1875) twenty-one-year-old actress Marianne (Minnie) Conway took over management of the Brooklyn Theater in order to support her sixteen-year-old sister Lillian. Both actresses can be seen here in a later photo. The NY times stirred the ashes of her first marriage to coronet player Jules Levy, seeking scandal, on 6/28/1883. This marriage produced a daughter and a son, Frederick Levy who became a star of early Hollywood as Coway Tearle. She later married Conrad Tearle and had two sons who also worked on stage and film: GodfreyTearle, and Malcolm Tearle.

The Beach Boys “Surfin’ USA”

Image by Sam Antonio Photography

The Beach Boys classic song, “Surfin’ USA,” mentions some top surfing beaches in San Diego County. Here they are featured in the lyrics in bold.

Watch the Beach Boys perform “Surfin’ USA”

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californ-i-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestles
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny way
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning out a route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Haggerty's and Swami's
Pacific Palisades
San Onofre and Sunset
Redondo Beach L.A.
All over La Jolla
At Waimea Bay

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin U.S.A

Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin U.S.A.

I took this sunset photograph of Oceanside Beach which isn’t featured in the song.

It doesn’t matter because...

Everybody’s gone surfin’

Surfin’ U.S.A.

Happy Travels!
