The Car


Could this be the car missing it's crankshaft from yesterday's post?

 This car happens to be one of the more photographed items at Bodie Ghost Town SP.

It's a mid to late 30's something that died at Bodie and someday will rust away to nothing.

Good job it's not over here as it would have rusted to nothing. Love old cars

Great design. Looks a bit of a sports car. Now searching for the brand.

A rugged old campaigner - it will probably still be there when all our modern cars have faded away.

I just knew I'd seen this car somewhere before! I would love to visit this ghost town!

It is a real cemetary for old cars there.

It has a ways to go, it seems.
Nice reminder of the non-permanency of things, John!
Have a Wonderful Day!
Peace :)

When that car was new it was probably expensive, shiny, and a toy of accomplishment. Who knew it would become a statue in honor of yesterday, rusty and remembering?
