I sense a violent end, one in which bullets blew past the windshield, hitting targets.

Painted by Time

Rust, primer, and the elements have played on this car for many decades. The result is a symphony of color and an abstract of what once was.

Murderers’ Row

They may not have belonged to bad men, but I get a real gangster vibe from this photo. Others might see grandfathers and church-going men driving these cars, but I see Al Capone and his henchmen. Most of these cars also had large holes in the driver’s windshield. That is a bit disturbing when you think of wrecked cars and no seat belts.
Z Crusher
Your daddy’s car sits stacked resting upon yesterdays. All those experiences have been reduced to the cost of metal, weighed by the ton.

Junkyard Art

This beautiful relic displays something that looks like port holes on a ship. Combined with a great patina, it makes for a visual treat and a decent photograph, I think.
Old Ford

A pretty cool old Ford sits in a junkyard with time to spare. The well lit headlight looks like an eye and suggests there may yet be some life left in this colorful beauty.
GMC Truck

Rusty, with parts missing, this beauty sits like a retired prize fighter …proud, proven, and still talked about. Undefeated and truly a classic, its patina alone is worthy of discussion.
Junkyard Art-Cabs

Sitting close to each other, like old friends, are the cabs of what I think were once trucks. Although they are now just remains, they offer a pastel serenade that pleases both heart and mind. It is time played softly.
’49 Ford

In 1949 this car was beautiful and shiny new. Now it is slowly being parted out, while still looking solid and beautiful. Time has graced it with colors and texture. It remains proud.
DeSoto

A 1939 DeSoto is slowly picked apart but retains both style and form. Living in a local junkyard it has been marked ‘save’ and is temporarily pardoned from the crusher. Note the sexy split rear windows and incredible reddish tone on this beauty.
