Attended the Syracuse Nationals car show today. This is an annual show for pre-1980 cars, mostly American made. Posted a few selected photos of cars. Thought it may be of interest.

For some reason I could only get one to upload, will try again tomorrow.

Managed to add another, thanks to the "manupulation tip" from GGG. Will keep adding as I work it out. The car with the orange wire wheels started out as a 4 door '59 Imperial. Amazing custom build. If interest do a google for "1959 Chrysler Imperial Speedster".

There was one Jag there that I saw and about 10,000 other cars (one estimate had the total at over 12,000 cars).

 

No luck getting the others uploaded?

(remember the file size limits are 9.54 MB for JPG and 2.10 MM for JPEG so you may have to do some image manipulation)

Could use some assistance. The photos were taken with a Droid X cell phone and have are labeled as jpg. I think they are too big. What is best way to manipulate as I don't have much experience with this. Was thinking I may need a photobucket or flickr account. Any assistance appreciated.

 

To upload them to the forum, you need photo imaging software to save the pics at a smaller resolution and therefore smaller file size within the JPG size limit.

You can also use Photobucket or similar to host them and post to the forum with the URL. The disadvantage of this approach is your pics are then in public domain and you have no control over copying or distribution.

Have a look at the edit I've done to two of the thumbnails on your post and let me know if this is OK. If so, I'll tell you how to do it!

I reduced there size and they uploaded. Is there a problem, as they are to have posted. If you mean the two that are not thumbnails anymore, they look great. What is process? Thanks.

 

Once you've got the Thumbnails in the post you're almost there.

1. open the post
2. hover your mouse over the Thumbnail to make it a full size pic
3. right click
4. select 'copy image'
5. go to 'edit' post
6. insert cursor where you want the pic to appear in the post
7. either right click then paste or Ctrl+V

Leave the Thumbnails in the post or the full pic images will disappear.

Once you get the hang of it, it takes longer to read the instructions here than it takes to do. I've added the third pic to your original post.

Have the hang of it now. Thanks!

 

There'll be no stopping you now!

The paint jobs look superb. Rarely see that quality outside the US.
