This is a 1950 Mercury Woodie. This happens to be a very rare car. Since the restoration, that took 7 years, this is the car's second appearance. It won the “The Participants Choice Award” and the Best of Show Award. I used the Nikon D-700 camera and the 24-120 Nikkor lens and it was a bright sunny day.
