Heartbreaking. Abandoned 1948 Buick Streamliner in Southwest US desert.
Oh, I dunno, nice, dry, desert, looks fairly good, I’ve seen cars with a lot less left restored to their former glory, such as ‘Babs’, John Parry-Thomas’s 1926 land speed record car, which spent 40 years buried under a Welsh beach after a tragic accident during an attempt killed Parry-Thomas.
