Discarded

I had the opportunity to go and photograph a personal collection of vehicles - about 180 of them! They were all between about 1915 - 1980. Some could be saved, some could be restored and some were only good for parts. But, they were all very much worthy of a photograph!

This one struck me as odd. Here sits a Mercedes. Very far off the beaten path, long since loved by its owner. At one point, I would say this car brought a sense of pride to the owner. Now... Here it sits discarded.

BTW - Brad, I tried to get you a hubcap! :)

This is a great looking picture. Your perspective combined with the black and white is great. I imagine there was a good variety of car parts out there! Thanks for sharing. http://www.hpautosupply.com/
