I saw this old model A drive by, I didn't have my camera so I grabbed my sisters G10 and took some snaps.
PP levels, sepia, contrast, and added noise in PS.
Here is a version for all you people who didn't appreciate the grain :)

First Impression: An old car well taken, been given a sepia effect to give a classic touch. Indeed Out of Ordinary.
Composition and Lighting: I like the slight tilt of the image, makes it more dynamic and draws the eye in (though DPC doesn't generally like tilted images).
Technical: The first thing that strikes my technical eye is the grainy texture. I think grain can be used to effectively boost the mood of an image, but I think it hinders this image. Although you have used a larger aperture of F/3.2, you were unable to get the desired result in DOF.
Conceptual: I would call it Out of Ordinary, but the real challenge is to present to the wide geographical audience how out of ordinary it is.
Overall: Good photo with a classic touch to it.
Thanks!
I was surprised by mrbig65s comment. It is not that common to see one of these driving around in the US.
The grain was purposeful, though I may have overdone it a bit :)
It was taken on a Canon G10 which has a small built in zoom lens so I wasn't expecting a very shallow DOF.
