Re: Which one is better ??

I much prefer the color image. I've cursed 19th century photographs far too many times due to the limited technology's loss of information. I seldom like seeing monochrome used in the modern world since there's no need. At the rate video capture and data storage is advancing it seems that within my own lifetime I may eventually expand that opinion to still photography more generally, but we're not quite there yet.

I have some appreciation for B&W photographs taken with period-appropriate hardware for the same reason I appreciate operation of old steam locomotives and railroad technology: History that's not preserved becomes forgotten and it's hard for us as a people to appreciate where we are unless we know where we've been.

I see a little blue poking through in the sky in the photograph, rather unlike some of the other recent photos you've posted. Seems like your winters are almost as overcast as ours here in the great lakes region tend to be. The windshield of that old vehicle seems pretty clean. While I dislike winter in general, the lack of bug guts on windshields is one small silver lining in a generally cloudy season, although perhaps that particular vehicle doesn't normally run fast enough to build too many up anyhow.
