Dear Steemians
As some of you meanwhile know, during my Route 66 trip, in march this year, I fell in love with all those wrecks of beautiful cars, standing, often as part of a roadside attraction, along the whole trip. To me, each of these old ladies tells her own story and I tried to capture these stories with my camera. I know, these old beauties are breaking some oldtimer-lovers hearts, for I myself often thought, they should be restored. But could they then still tell their stories, while living new ones?
I started a series with these pieces of well formed metal. I call the them
I don't know the make or model oft this particular car. Therefore I'll give a full 100% upvote (don't expect to much - I'm a little 🐟) to the first comment revealing the correct make and model - not a big challenge, just for the fun!
I hope you enjoy and wish you all a wonderful day, dear fellow Steemians!
See you!
Liebe Steemians
Wie einige von euch mittlerweile wissen, verliebte ich mich während meiner Route 66 Reise im März dieses Jahres, in all jene Wracks schönen Autowracks, die oft als Teil einer Straßenrand-Attraktion, anzutreffen waren. Ich begann eine Serie mit diesen Teilen aus gut geformten Metall. Ich nenne sie
Für mich erzählt jede dieser alten Damen ihre eigene Geschichte und ich habe versucht, diese Geschichten mit meiner Kamera zu erfassen. Ich weiß, diese alten Schönheiten in ihrem traurigen Zustand brechen einige Oldtimer-Liebhaber Herzen. Ich selbst dachte oft, man sollte sie doch restaurieren können. Aber könnten sie dann noch ihre Geschichten erzählen, während sie neue erleben?
Ich kenne die Marke und das Modell dieses Fahrzeugs nicht. Deshalb gebe ich dem ersten Kommentar, der mir die Marke und das Modell nennt einen vollen 100% upvote (erwartet nicht zu viel - ich bin nur ein kleiner 🐟) - keine große Challenge, nur zum Spaß!
Ich hoffe, meine heutige "alte Lady" gefällt euch und wünsche euch allen einen wunderbaren Tag, liebe Steemians!
Wir sehen uns!

Rambler American (what a piece of junk). When Rambler started they were owned by Nash who made pretty decent cars. Then they were bought by American Motors... who gave us classics like Gremlins & Pacers.

WOW, that's some detail! Well, @dehenne was faster, but for all the information about the Rambler, I'll give another 100%. :)
Have a nice day, Rich!

I know, Rich and it did interest me. And my 100% in nothing, only some 30ct. So it is indeed just for the fun. Thanks a lot for the information about the Ramblers history! Have a great week!

Danke schön, liebe Twinkleberry! Ich habe noch ein paar und dann muss ich mal sehen, dass ich wieder neue Sleeping Beauties auftreibe. Hierzulande sind die ja eher selten. :)

great to see old cars like that , to bad that they don't recycle the metal

Yes, they are beauties. But I think they don't recycle them, but keep them, where they are as roadside attractions.

Vielen Dank! Ja, allein an der Route 66 stehen schon einige. Das wird dort auch als eine Art Dekoration angesehen.

They always give me this old-school vibe where teenagers go to milkshakes bars and dance to the juke box :')

You know I've loved all your cars so far, but this time I agree with richq11, Nash made some fun cars, but American Motors ... well, not so much. Your photo was great as always, hope I didn't offend.

No, you didn't offend at all! I did not construct it! 😃😂 I just mean, seeing the photo in @livelifefullest's post, it's not that ugly (to me). Well the Nash you've added is fun, wit would be great on a trailer behind my RV. 👍🏻

You would need a lot of consistence and knowledge to restore it, but I think it would be worth it. ;)

After restauration the car will look beautiful, the restauration will only add more memories, and a lot history is back on the road.

Looking great again, indeed! They built beautiful cars those years! Guess you're right, would be great to see some roadside attractions renewed with restored oldtimers beside.
