49 Ford Deluxe (& that desert light)


                 Smoke Creek Desert, Washoe County, NV.
"While drilling a well in 1995 we took advantage of having an articulated loader on site to move this '49 Ford Deluxe coupe onto railroad ties stacked in the remains of the the corral at Parker Ranch so the new owner of the property could get to the house. If only to tear it down and build a new one. The Ford, though elevated, remains oriented exactly as it was when blocking the driveway.

"Like most things in rural Nevada this little monument is shot full of holes - and that IS a woodrat nest up inside.  True ratrod...or woodrat highrise?  You be the judge."--MSM
