Still on the Road

My original intent for this gallery was to find old motor homes still on the road. As I was looking, I started noticing all the older automobiles on the road. That evolved into trying to capture images of anything related to automobile travel of yesteryear: Old gas stations, historic roads with their motels, cafes, highway signs etc. This part of Americana is slowly disappearing so displaying these gems makes this one of my favorite galleries.

Very good collection and I think it is also a good idea to document these old ones before they go to the scrapyard.Franz

Nice collection. The trails sign is an educational peek into the past.
