Sorry to hear your scanner is giving you fits. Glad to hear Adorama still has this on sale for ya. If you get one, I think you'll enjoy it.
I should note my "black and white" comment is (so far) specific to C41 b&w. I do not currently have any images on normal b&w film. The abandoned/wrecked car? I don't know what model/year it is. I think someone here said they thought it was a 59 Ford though?
