The first time I saw this car on the street in Marfa, we were going fast enough that it didn't register quickly enough. But the second time I told Stan to stop! I had to photograph this! I jumped out of the car with the toy camera and made about 8 exposures, four of them close, like this and four like the one below. I like the photograph below for a sense of place, but I think the impact of the close up is a great way to begin the blog. Please click on this because it is an extra large image and you can see it in better detail. I have never seen a car this beat up, on the street. Ever! I guess in New York State this car wouldn't even be allowed on the street because there is no way it would pass inspection looking like this. I guess in Texas the requirements are less stringent.

Interesting. I see a lot of different colors and painting splatters but not too much rust or dents. More like a truck than a station wagon. Do you know make and model? Price?
Haha! Needs just a bit of work but keep the paint job :-) Betsey
