Maybe Bruce Springsteen had this place in mind when he wrote the song "Cadillac Ranch"... Look forward to more photos from thid fsscinating place....

Thanks for sharing the article, Richard. Just like people, their glory days are over.
Sensational.
It's so sad Richard, we all get old and rusty.
Great pic Richard and it looks like Honest John has a great collection of old cars. Looks like this one made many a trip to the graveyard back then.
Excellent shot Richard...this one does look tired and ready for retirement. But you never know a little nip here tuck there and a dermo peel it will be as good as new..lol
superbe beautees passees,splendide photo!!
this is a cool photo of how time passes... even the car that transports the dead, dies.
Not to be morbid, lol but my dad had a hearse for our family car a long time ago..he loved he horse power the engine had...it creeped us kids out to ride in it, so finally mom talked him into getting rid of it....I think he kept the engine lol EXCELLENT shot...I'd love to walk through this yard of cars.

Sad capture as I have a soft spot for old cars & one of my Uncles was a Mortician, funny story, thanks for the laugh.
EXCELLENT SHOT
Fantastic photo! great story about the ride!
Excellent capture! Reminds me of an old saying in metal working. "Old mechanics don't die, they just slowly rust away." :)
