(really not sure about the border but the windows behind the car were bothering me by being a bit over exposed, the border detracts the viewerfrom the problem (rather like smashing your headlights with a brick would detract from a tear in the upholstery)

i would have preferred sepia, but I guess you kept it this way to preserve the beautiful black of the car.. the whited out edges are a little too overdone to me, but i'm sure there are just as many who say they like it.. a good pic overall :)
Nostalgia. Excellent back and white work with bright whites, black blacks and a reasonable tonal range in between. Your feathered edges are OK but become too much quickly if you went any further.
