I like old Kaisers too, but this one got an "Earl Shieb" paint job.

Nah, that was dome with rattle cans. First class. LOL Bumpers, everything. Think he got the visors inside?

Just the top half of the bumpers.

My aunt had a Kaiser back in the 50’s. It was a pretty nice car as I remember.

This old Studebaker sat for years behind a shop near my workplace. Sadly someone stole that big round hood ornament from it, and now the car has disappeared.

I have a thing about French cars ever since the '63 Renault Dauphine I purchased back in 1973. This Peugeot would be more my style now as I've gotten older. Would make a good candidate for electrification.

Farlymac, I had one of those in the early 70's. Four speed on the collum. It's the only one I've seen. It was very inexpensive and cheap to maintain. It also had a hand crank if the battery died. I lusted for a 504, but it was out of my price range. That image brings back fond memories.

Inspired by the space / jet age. A friend of mine in high school in the mid 60’s had a Studebaker like that’s. Very distinctive car that I always loved the look of. This one probably dates to the early to mid 50’s but think it’s a 1950 Champion.

The noble 403. The French are dismissed and ignored yet they continue to make good cars, cameras, wine, cheese and charcuterie, and life. I had a Dauphine. Not safe unless on Michelin radials. That weighty read end would break loose.

Junk Car Shot with 1890s Camera by Neal Wellons, on Flickr

Kodak Bullseye #2, Model D (about 1898) 101 format adapted for 120 film. Catlabs 320 pro film. The spool started unrolling as I was getting ready to unload the camera causing light leaks on every exposure. But I like the look.
Hampton, Georgia

Unbelievable what people let turn into rust.

Just inside Illinois as you cross the bridge from Missouri headed to Cairo. Abandon restaurant.

I think this is a model A Ford. I ran across this in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee in the mid 80’s.

Another one of those precious jewels sitting in a junk yard. Found this in the back country of Tennessee. I guess I shot it about 25 years ago with my Rollei 2.8D

I believe the owner said it’s a 1941 Dodge.

The two most dependable vehicles I've ever owned were Dodge pickups. A bit later models than this. Loved those trucks.

Shot Dec 31, 1999 on 8x10 film.

Anyone have any new POS cars to post.

Here are a couple of ones I shot about ten years ago and uncovered last week.
