Buick

I think a straight print (no lith) would be more dramatic. There would be more "play" between the rusty metal and the bleached grass.

While you're making an abstraction of it (it's basically an abstraction of a buick even before you took a photo of it)

I like the image but also see a different way of printing it.

The brownness makes it look muddy (like it's a mud-running contest loser) and I think that's not the story here.

A silver print would probably be good, but I bet it'd be a real nice cyanotype, double coated on white arches platine or other bright paper.

While it's a nice photo, I bet you got a few others while you were there too. It'd also be worth returning under different lighting conditions if you find a medium you like for sort of thing and want some different contrasts or shapes of light.

I recall a member in our club with a similiar type image, used a liquid mask to cover everything except the car. When it dried he sepia toned the picture which meant that only the car was toned. The end result was very impressive but it did entail a lot of work on his part to achieve the final image.
As it is I think that it would fit in well with a series of photos on the same subject and treated in the same way.

Agreed the selective sepia can be a nice effect. You can even just selectively bleach with a brush, and the Sepia will only effect the bleached areas.
