A few high res photos of this Touring.

Nice photos and a neat car. What are the owner’s plan for it? I see a bit of rust taking hold, I hope he/she is planning some restoration before that gets too serious.
I really liked the last photo but the non-level road was bugging me so I had a quick go at fixing that:
Unfortunately the watermark got cut off in re-cropping because of the angled edges from rotating. Do put that back if you want to use this.

Owner has done quite a bit of work to it but is selling it to make room for a few other cars. Took photos of it for the EBay listing so didn't really pay much attention to the leveling. Looks much better straightened out.

I didn’t even know that was a thing. I like it, a lot.

Can I ask what your kit/settings were for shooting, especially the last photo? Also how much post-processing you’ve done (and what you’ve done). It looks to me like a little bit of HDR and some contrast work.
I have a nice kit (Sony a57 and some old Minolta lenses backed by an RX100) but I’ve never gotten into post-processing and so my shots tend to look fairly pedestrian. Yours really pop so I’m curious if you have any advice on how to get there. Thanks! (A fellow Oregonian who grew up outside Portland)

I used a Canon 5D Mkii with a Sigma 85 1.4. (Shot at F2, 1/2000 shutter at ISO 100 on the last photo) As far as post-processing, I do all my editing in Lightroom. For these photos, the lighting was quite harsh so I did have to lower the highlights and whites quite a bit. Added some contrast, sharpened, vignetting, and messed with the blacks and shadows using the tone curve.
