A Love for Black & Whites

So there was no sign of the homeless man today outside of my office building. However, I did manage to take a photo today (credit: the iPhone). Just casually walking down West 17th in from 6th avenue, I saw this classic limo parked almost perfectly in the middle of two buildings…no time to reach for the point & shoot, so I lined up the iPhone and here you have it (after a b&w high contrast conversion in Lightroom).

You would think that I’d start walking around with my 30D!! By the way, can anyone identify the vehicle make/model/year please?

UPDATE 9.24.09:  My boss has identified the vehicle as a Daimler DS420.  Thank you!
(Yes folks, that’s what I said, my boss )
