This is a photograph of a Citroën CX. The Citroën CX is an automobile that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1974 to 1991. It is a right-hand drive "fastback" sedan as they called it. They are very uncommon to see in Canada as they were never sold here and must be imported. Being a lover of cars, I was instantly captivated by the presence of this vehicle. I almost felt obligated to document it. This is just one of the 3 final photos of the car I took, but I think it says the most. It looked as if it hadn't been moved from that spot in weeks or maybe even months. Everything about the car was very intriguing to me. The license plate that read "Antique Auto", the semi-detached ducktail spoiler, and the bright yellow paint that I could tell was original. It just had so much character. I was lucky enough to stumble upon this car while I was out with some friends on a Sunday evening. Furthermore, I was even luckier that it happened to be at golden hour and I had my camera with me. These factors are what make this image very special to me. It felt as if I was just at the right place at the right time and things sort of just fell into place.
