Shot in Kodachrome with a Leica and deftly lit with then new sodium vapor lights, the pictures in the photographic volume 'CARS. New York City. 1974-1976' by Langdon CLAY feature a distinct array of makes and models set against the gritty details of their surrounding urban and architectural environments, and occasionally the ghostly presence of people."
