Delorean at New York International Auto Show

[PJ Grady Inc.]

I didn't want to post this until the car was signed, sealed, and delivered but now that it's done I want to mention that a beautiful very early VIN (0927) Delorean I purchased just last week is in the classic car section at the south corner of the first floor at the show. The Vintage Automobile Museum of N.J. invited me to bring in a car at the request of the shows organizers. It garnered a lot of attention while I was there. I will be going back to staff the display on Sunday from around lunchtime till late afternoon.
I will also be there next weekend. If anyone is going to the show please look for the Delorean and if you let me know in advance I'll try to meet you there. Sorry no "new" Delorean's there this year!

Now if I could just flip these pictures around that would be awesome.

Well done, Rob, and congrats on that early-VIN classic.

Looks like there is a Chevy Bel Air and a Pre war Packard in the background of the second photo.

The Museum had 14 cars there all of which were flawless restorations. The exception being the horribly applied body side moldings (Never should have left the QAC that way) on my car which I didn't have time to fix before the show. It's on my "to do" list for the car. Maybe Patrick can give me a crash course on picture orientation so I can post more non-upside down of some of the other outstanding cars there.

After you upload from the camera to the computer, right click on the file..... It gives the options of "rotate clockwise" and "rotate counterclockwise" in the list. Of course you'll have to do it twice to rotate it all the way. :cool:

Yes I've done that before but then the pictures are upside down on my computer. I was hoping it could be done in the forum's "manage attachments" section but can't find a way to do that? If someone knows the secret a PM would be most appreciated. I've heard at least one other person with the same problem recently so maybe it's not just me with this little conundrum? Anyway I'm off to the NYIAS shortly so if anyone is going stop by the Classic Cars section and say hello if you're so inclined.

Hi Rob. On the picture issue, were they taken with Apple products? If so, you will need to take them within the button ( the one on the screen with the square on it) at the bottom for vertical shots, and on your right for horizontal shots.

Apple pictures include orientation data that allows their products to render them properly. But PC software can't ( or won't ) read this data, so the pictures don't display properly, unless you take them as described above.

Well, that's not entirely correct...

Truthfully, it's not an Apple thing. It will happen with many other 3rd party digital cameras as well like Nikon, Canon, etc. when you directly import the photographs as well. So don't think that this is some sort of exclusive compatibility problem between Apple and Windows.

Microsoft apps refuse to read the EXIF data file included with each picture that records the camera's orientation at the time of the photograph, in order to properly orient it for viewing purposes. Every other piece of non-Microsoft software from Adobe to Facebook correctly reads that EXIF data, but Microsoft for some reason refuses to play ball. It's a Microsoft thing specifically, but if you use non-Microsoft photo editing software on Windows, then the pictures correctly orientate themselves.

Don't blame Apple; It's Microsoft's problem.

Hi Robert,

No worries. I was just sharing tip that I learned on Apple products, as that's what I have experience with. I wasn't trying to blame Apple specifically. As mentioned in my post, it is a PC software issue reading the orientation data.

Thanks for generalizing the problem though. That's good to know.


Back on topic...... Rob, your car is an Instagram star! I see several posts in the last couple of days. :thumbup:

Cheers,

It can't be Apple's fault as I have a Galaxy S6. I'm not a fan of Apple's customer service however and ditched my I phone when they flat refused to synch my computer email to the phone because I use Explorer.
It's good to know the car is an Instagram star....for 15 minutes!!!!
