Theme Day: Rust and Ruins
Today, September 1, 2014 is Theme Day across the citydailyphotoblog(cdp) community. This rusted Ford is just sitting here in the warm August sun continuing to rot away. Its contents has been gutted, and this old coupe will not be rolling down Route 1 anytime soon if ever again. What year is it? I have no idea. If Marchin was with me, he'd get to the rear lights. He says the year of the vehicle can always be found near the lights in back. We came across an old VW bus right out of the Sixties, a while back, and sure enough he found the year 1961. Kerouac would have loved it. I have to be careful believing Marchin though.
He makes things up.
Some claim that it's a family trait.
That's still up for debate, if you ask me.
Ford.
Quality is Job 1.
Love the grill and the fading color of the car.
ReplyDeleteYour picture makes the car looking like a maori face mask !
ReplyDeleteHaaa, Kerouac! My hero when I was 18...
Whatever its year is, I see a scary face in your picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy Rust and Ruins Day! Interesting what time does to metal...
ReplyDeleteGosh, these things were behemoths!
ReplyDeleteI like the way this car is rusting but you can still see the original colour.
ReplyDeleteI always feel a little sad for old cars. I'm sure this one was almost like a member of someone's family at some point. Neat find for the theme day.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree. I think there's a tear running down my cheek. hehehehehee
Deletewhat a beauty!!! even now!
ReplyDeleteGreat detail, great colours!
ReplyDeleteThis one appears to be rusting rather artistically. I saw a photo on Flickr once of an old rusted out car left in a wooded area and there was a good sized tree growing right out of the center of the car. It must have been sitting there a very long time.
ReplyDeleteExcellent find Birdman.. looks a little like an angry rusty face glaring out at us :)
ReplyDeletea nice detail. I like the look of age.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying this Labor Day weekend!
Artistic rust on this one!
ReplyDeleteNice grill Bird!

Cooooooooooool. Looooooooooooove.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a good find for today's theme! The picture almost looks like a face and is reminding me of the movie "Cars" which I have watched with my grandkids about a bazillion times.
ReplyDeleteGreat find for theme day. And I like the tale of your thoughts on the Ford.
ReplyDeleteYour photo was quality
ReplyDeletePerfect for this theme day, slightly younger (and a bit rustier) than mine...
ReplyDeleteI would imagine the fifties for the year. It really has seen a lot of years!
ReplyDeleteA great theme day interpretation!
ReplyDeleteYou have to watch those clever guys who mix truth with fiction.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot. You should frame that one.
ReplyDeleteIt is younger than you and me, buddy!
ReplyDeleteThere is something very appealing about all the rust and peeling paint, even if it's a Ford!
ReplyDeleteI saw a face.... and that made me stop.
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting postings on your blog!
