EVAH C. CRAY HISTORICAL HOME MUSEUM

ATCHISON, KS

Hello from auld lang syne It's not often you find a restored Corvair station wagon puttering by.  Only the obscured pickup and asphalt road suggest this is a modern image.  Fun fact: the engine is in the rear, under the cargo area floor, thereby necessitating the big air intakes on the side.  

Processing note: Bleach bypass simulated by combining color image (DXO photolab deep prime NR, window glare mitigated by local application of clearview) with BW (Silver EFX pro, high structure, smooth setting) at 50% normal blending mode.

The museum is dedicated to preserving the history of Atchison and the surrounding area, and provides visitors with a fascinating glimpse into life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
