Now that is a classic! What a great comp! This could be a hanger and much more! I can see this hanging in MOMA for sure! If I were you, I would at least forward it to them....see what happens! Cheers!

I wonder if the last owner realized that his/her car would be one of the most photographed cars in the US?

Nice comp Len

Thanks Taz & Randy. You are correct Randy re a very photographed car. Even tho it's been done by "everyone", it shouldn't stop us. I was taken by the color of the patina and the light from the high angle of the sun.

Thanks Len and Randy for the education! I have never been to Bodie, so in this case my ignorance really let me enjoy the shot!:D
I think it is still classic and kind of thing you see hanging in places! Cheers!

Great shot, Len. I love how the old buildings appear as though they're inside the car.

I don't know how you made that stretch Len, but that wasn't even remotely my point. I would never tell someone to not shoot this or that. Just that it would seem odd to leave an old car abandoned somewhere, only to have it be one of, if not the most photographed cars in America.

What cool way of showing things! Great perspective. The photo sure has spirit!

Great picture I like the buildings in the car window.

My bad Randy. I didn't mean to imply that you were telling me what to shoot or not, and I did not think that was your point. Your irony regarding the car's abandonment and subsequent popularity is spot on.
