Relic of the Depression Era

Old Ford, Danny's Classic Cars, Elko, South Carolina  © Doug Hickok


Miss Daisy's Sunday driving car or
Bonnie and Clyde's getaway?

Imagine what modern autos will look like in 80 years.

  25. What a stand out image, Doug! In/out of focus areas plus colours make this unforgettable. (You can't go wrong with a bit of decay and nostalgia thrown in together, either...)
