There’s no doubt that cars can be time machines… but so can cameras. These pictures of the LUC Chopard classic car rally in Moscow were taken a week ago today, but thanks to the impeccable cars, time-warp setting and old-school photo techniques, they somehow manage to capture the flavor of a lost era. Even when a blinged-out Infiniti QX intrudes, reminding the viewer that these are just a bunch of plutocrats playing with their expensive toys circa 2010. As is so often the case, the fantasy is far more satisfying than the reality. It’s Sunday… why not indulge a little?

My wife always asks if I’m enjoying my auto or hockey porn. I showed her the first picture from this gallery and she asked me if I needed some alone time!
So were these shot on Ektachrome slide film, or is this a Photoshop filter trick? If these were shot digitally, then the photog really knew what he was doing. Gorgeous stuff.
Old American iron in Moscow is just another good reason for the end of Communism in the former Soviet Union. Comrade cars from that era had less curb appeal.
