Added 5S205 to the list above.

Video of 5S113

......Black windshield frames - no, look at the chrome on the side of the 55/6 Ford it's also black. Trick of shadows and light would account for many of the color shifts. ...... I would not use this photo as "proof" of any color changes or paint jobs. I might trust a properly exposed/stored Kodachrome slide.

Generally images over 20 years old will develop colour changes, lose detail and become grainy. If Kodachrome is stored properly it can be good for up to 100 years.

Another great photo! 

I agree with Brett (98SVT) and am also not convinced the Cobras in that photo had black windshield frames. 

Light/shadow and 60 year old transparency film (converted to digital via FB) will play tricks on your eyes.

I understand what you guys are saying about time and photos.....  Time can change the film, paper and many aspects of the color.  There are endless reasons.... You make great points. 

I cannot answer if this photo was turned into a color photo later on or what film was used.  I found it on Facebook that was posted by the man who took the photo in June 1967.  It is really cool to dissect and inspect the details we see.

on this Pic later made on LAX History, and even in beautifull Colour, we can see the same Angle of shooting with different Cars, the Notchback Hardtops befor transformed for Trans Am Racing and the Spoiler Prototyp SFM 5 S 319 behind the Notchback

I noticed the black windshield frames in reply 102 just like the photo posted in Reply 24 of this thread (above).  Notice the black on all the bright work of the Cobras although you can still see the chrome on the Mustangs.   

Is this a protective coating added by AC or more photo/image changes for many reasons discussed earlier?   Assuming it is a protective coating, are the Cobras finished and ready to be delivered to dealers or do they still need work done(referring to photo in reply 102)?  Looks like they have the Halibrands on them.

Szabo,

This photo was recently posted on Facebook by Les Taylor on the "POWERED BY FORD - TOTAL PERFORMANCE ERA" page - Link: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10233098270020278&set=gm.803911747969039&idorvanity=757929885900559

Some amazing stuff here.  Notice "Little Red" (almost dark Red??), an R-model with a white wall tire, Cobras with black windshield frames, several 1967 GT350/GT500 models, is that CSX2430 with the number 13 on the door?

Les Taylor took this photo when he picked up CSX3324 in June 1967.
