This sign is so sixties...blur was from not focusing lens and a bit from motion. I ran a cross processing effect in Color Efex Pro to wash it out, then a bit of a texture on top to complete the aged look. Oh, and I used the smudge tool to blur the cars a bit so they weren't so recongizable as new cars.

The more subtleness of bold colors is very much a sixties film trait...cool photo indeed!

Very good idea about the cars - I was about to remark how even the cars seemed retro!

Not focusing - now there's an idea!! I had a friend who used to set the timer and throw the camera into the air.

you did well giving this a vintage feel, the color tone works great to maximize the look. I could see this as some old family vacation photo outtake, something that your little brother snapped on accident when holding the camera mom and dad let him hold. Love it!

Marge was too drunk to see that she was in a restaurant parking lot and there was no liquor store in site. LOL
