Er... well... some of us just age better than others.


(Quick note: This post was inspired by a fellow blogger. When Becky and I drove past Danny's Classic Cars in Elko during our recent road trip, I was so excited seeing old cars, really old cars, that I simply HAD to stop and grab a few shots. If you would like to see some truly artful photography of old classic cars, please take a moment to see Otto Kitchen's work.)

  3. Retired in SC.
    But if these cars could "live" in Havana.
    I'm sure they could run for another 10 more years!

    Few years ago, we had an ID4 celebration in London.
    I saw a 1950s Dodge Coronet there!
    It was really cool.

  8. a magnificent compilation of these old bangers! i like their color (or what's left) and the soft lines of their bodies (i mean the cars, of course!). and as you say, some just age better than others ... ;))

  15. Is that last one Mater? Wow, can you tell I have Pixar kids? Love this series of automotive decay Doug. The blues in the middle shot are still so strong and contrast beautifully with the creeping rust. Awesome!
