1958 Thunderbird detail, Magdalena, NM, Jan. 2012 |
A warmish sunny day led me outside with the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood and a long-awaited photo shoot of this 1958 Thunderbird hardtop resting in an empty lot. It's a classic beauty despite the neglect and decay, and as I circled it and focused in on details I was amazed at how well the chrome has survived the elements. The headlights are intact, even, and the body shows some rust but hardly a single dent, a testament to the steel construction. What a sweet ride this must have been in its day.

I love the look of the texture of the cracked, peeling paint.
If my dad could get his hands on that car he would make it beautiful again. Something of a hobby for him. What a shame to leave it rotting in a field.
