Description
Where Eternity Stands in LineLike waiting for judgement say, there they stood, in all their glory....40s era Fords, Oldsmobile's, Pontiac's, Chevy's....awaiting the rodders touch to be sculptured in lead, and reincarnated into a new life as a hotrod.
Sadly, as much as I love this place, it is now forever gone. I did many shoots at Classical Gas in Eaton, Colorado....and now it is just a memory....it is forever closed as the owner has recently passed away. I was lucky enough to have been here as often as I could...preserving it forever with my camera. And while it is an older shot, it seems just like yesterday I was standing there taking this....time stands still......much as it did for the classic 40s Detroit iron.......
Thoughts welcomed, print to come.

awesome, wish i could get to photo cars like that. For a few years i would pass three really old cars that were in a line just rusting at the side of the road on someones land, last year when i went to actually go and take a photo of them, they had been moved further in the property behind a fence.
