Hey Derek,
Looks like my kind of place! I like your choice of B&W conversion although I generally prefer mine with more tonal range. Silver effex is great but I think you can take this up another level further with some more tweaking to the tones. Keep Ansel Adams in mind and remember how much effort he put into the B&W printing....we can do it much faster but a bit of TLC will definitely make this shine. Just burning in the base of the building will go a long way in making the car stand out even more. As the sky isn't that interesting....I would go for a pano crop.
Just a few thought for you to consider.

Hi Derek
Roman hit my thoughts exactly. My 2 issues here are tonal range and overall comp which I don't find that compelling personally. 
You can still make something of this. I always like playing around with a "red filter" on the sky (taking down blue and cyan values in conversion) which darkens the sky considerably.

Derek,
I would agree with Roman and Morkel comments.
To me, this is an excellent scene to move into and concentrate on the more intimate and interesting details.
