In this captivating view of the 1926 Ford Model T, we’re afforded a closer and more intimate perspective of this historic automobile, as seen from a different angle that brings us alongside the vehicle. Parked on the quiet streets of Miami, Arizona, during the golden hour, the soft light wraps around the car, highlighting the gentle curves and rugged details that tell the story of its storied past.

Captured with a Leica M6 TTL and this time using Kodak Gold 200 film, the image is steeped in a timeless warmth. Kodak Gold 200 is praised for its ability to produce warm, saturated colors with a classic grain structure, which gives the photograph an authentic, almost tactile feel. The film renders the blue hues of the Model T with a true-to-life vibrancy, while the golden hour’s light adds a soft, dreamy quality to the overall scene.

From this vantage point, we see more of the car’s interior, inviting viewers to imagine the tactile experiences—like the feel of the leather seats or the grip of the steering wheel—of those who drove such a vehicle nearly a century ago. The surroundings, too, offer a new dimension to our understanding of the setting. The storefronts alongside the car provide context to the automobile’s place in history, showing a side of the town that has witnessed the ebb and flow of time just as the vehicle has.

Encased in the golden glow of the setting sun, this print is not just a photograph; it’s a historical document and a work of art, waiting to take its place on the walls of those who cherish heritage and the art of film photography.

Own this piece of Americana and let your space be graced with the legacy of innovation and the tranquility of the golden hour in the desert.
