I’ve come across a few of these old abandoned mining vehicles in the open desert over time. I’d posted this one awhile back as the original color version. I thought this B&W version might work for this weeks WC.

Sweet ride and a fine image of it. Processing looks good to my eye, too. Very nicely done.
Didn’t Preston drive this one off the dealer’s lot when it was new??? 
@Harley_Goldman, thank you the comment as always…
As far as Preston’s ride, I’m not too sure as I actually have a few more miles on me by a couple months over him as I recall…
This might have been a precursor to my 66 El Camino that I did drive off the lot as a new ride back then…
Love that it is presented in B/W. Fits the topic perfectly.
This is quite the “find”, Paul. Going b&w sure fits with the old, decaying truck. That shredding tire is quite the eye catcher. I think I drove one of these on my grandpa’s farm…
Can you imagine placing yourself here when the car stopped running? I love the “hairy” tire. Excellent comp.
A good news/bad news find, Paul. It’s cool because it’s a piece of history with an untold story but bad because mankind has a bad habit of just abandoning their junk in the middle of otherwise beautiful scenery. I think the b&w conversion works very well for this shot.
Hi Gary, yes people leave things everywhere on this planet without a caring thought about the eyesore to others.
However, in this case this is an area of the desert that was an old mining area and there is a good size stamping mill off to the left of this viewpoint. So, these old vehicles are part of the landscape if you will in this particular area…
Classic Paul. Good choice with the b&w too.
I guess they hadn’t invented re-treads yet… 
A couple of new tires and some gas and she’s ready to go, Paul. Reminds me of a neighbor’s back yard, except his aren’t quite so classic. Excellent composition and the black and white works well.
