Fo' reals, man. That musta bin some wild ride, man(TM, SenileJoeProductions).
Looks like a pale version of just about any truck in Pakistan today. And some buses in Mexico too.
Either needs a buswash or some brighter fluorescent neon paint that's UV-resistant. Of course, it may just be the fading photo dyes. Those non-Cibachrome '60s-'70s prints are notoriously fade-prone.
In gratt skool I took a mini-course (non-credit) on Cibachrome color process printing. Cibachromes made int he '50s look as good today as the day they were printed. Butt it is a very difficult, highly temperature-sensitive process to use. The best print I ever made was of one of my negatives of a pure white desert cactus flower that came ~OUTT lavender. And that was the BEST Cibachrome process print I was able to make. But the dyes are UV-resistant salts and should last a hunnert years or more. Butt the process is so difficult to use orstandardize, as a bit more expensive, that it was mostly kicked to DaKerb when those 1 hour Fotomat huts started appearing in shopping mall lots using a quicker, faster, cheaper butt-less-permanent UV-sensitive organic dyes set.
I don't currently have a darkroom and my 35mm gear is all in storage, as the world has moved on to digital photography. Butt in the back of my skull I still have a desire o see if I could master the Cibachrome process. I like technical challenges - as the lab rat that I am.
And the cactus flower actually looks nice in lavender in my Cibachrome print, even though it is pure white from the negative (when printed by conventional color processes) and was pure white in real life when I took the shot.
At Lunatic Labs I had free unlimited film, paper, chemicals, and several darkrooms I could play with. B/W film, paper, and chemicals were stocked in overabundance. Color process was more of a headache to set up. Butt for B/W, you could just walk into a darkroom and develop. We also rolled our own B/W filmstock in reusable 35mm film cartridges from bulk B/W film stocks of every speed from 25 to 400.
Thank you, Uncle Sammie for the freebies. Waste, fraud, and abuse can be a hell of a lot of fun!
