Dear Steemians
When I traveled the Route 66 travel this March this year, I found among other things so many old wrecks, which often served as part of a roadside attraction.
Since I find that each of these old ladies tell their own story, I tried to capture these stories with my camera. These old beauties in their sad state break the hearts of many vintage car lovers. I by myself would also like to restore one or the other of these beauties.
I started a series with these pieces of well formed metal. I call the them
I know the make, it's a Rambler, but not the 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 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
Als ich im März dieses Jahres die Route 66 Reise befuhr fand ich unter anderem so viele Autowracks, die oft als Teil einer Straßenrand-Attraktion dienten.
Da ich finde, dass jede dieser alten Damen ihre eigene Geschichte erzählt, habe ich versucht, diese Geschichten mit meiner Kamera zu erfassen. Diese alten Schönheiten in ihrem traurigen Zustand brechen vielen Oldtimer-Liebhaber die Herzen. Ich würde nur zu gerne das eine oder andere Schätzchen restaurieren.
Ich startete eine Serie mit diesen Teilen aus gut geformten Blech. Ich nannte sie
Ich kenne die Marke, es ist ein Rambler, aber nicht das Modell dieses Fahrzeugs. Deshalb gebe ich dem ersten Kommentar, der mir die das Modell nennt einen vollen 100% upvote (erwartet nicht zu viel - ich bin nur ein kleiner 🐟). Es ist dies keine große Challenge, nur ein Spaß, der einlädt zum Mitmachen.
Ich hoffe, meine heutige "alte Lady" gefällt euch und wünsche euch allen einen wunderbaren Tag, liebe Steemians!
Wir sehen uns!

I'm not very good with cars, but we were a Rambler family. My Mom had a Classic, an American (which I learned to drive in) then a Marlin. One grandpa had a Classic, and the other grandpa had an Ambassador. There had beed a Nash or two in the family snd my aunt drove a pink Rambler station wagon. You'd think I could ID this one, but I'm only guessing that it is maybe an American?

Hello Melinda! Guess you are the closest. It is a 1962 Rambler American Classic 400. Here is a restaured one, that I found now: Rambler America
Here comes a 100% upvote for your reply! Thanks for having part in the fun. :)

The left car is exactly the similar car like the one in my post, just look at the detail of the front.

Yes..dad is on the left. He would have just been out of the army 5 years or so in this photo. He worked construction as a heavy equipment operator his entire life. So did my grandfather. Both were crane operators.

Though jobs! At that time, guess these were the people making America great! Nevertheless they worked hard, these must have been golden years.

I still love traveling around the midwest and pointing out bridges and buildings to the grandkids that their gr. Grandpa built. I used to be able to find GrGr Grandpa bridges, but most of them are gone now.

Ich mag deine Fotos. Ich glaub, ich hätte auch Spaß dran Straßenseiten-Wracks zu fotografieren.

Vielen Dank, das freut mich sehr! Leider wird mein Material bald zur Neige gehen und hierzulande stehen so wenige rum. Vielleicht sollte ich bald mal wieder über den großen Teich fliegen. :)
Solltest Du aber mal eine "Sleeping beauty" finden und fotografieren, darfst Du gerne den tag benutzen.

Yes, I guess, that's what their owners want them to be: Kind of decoration and witnesses of better times at the route 66.
