c.1988 Toyota Land Cruiser. Santa Fe, New Mexico

 

c. 1953 Pontiac. Costila, New Mexico

This was on the road from Taos up to San Luis, Colorado. There was a lot of old metal accumulating patina in the sunshine. As we got closer to the Spanish Peaks, we started following a snowstorm that we finally caught up with north of Walsenburg, CO which made driving kind of intense through Pueblo, and onto Colorado Springs.

                         

1975 Dodge Coronet. Marfa, Texas.

We have posted a sleepy Dodge Coronet wagon with a 520  big block, and Chip Lord sent us a 1958 Dodge Coronet from San Francisco. Here's a 1950 Dodge Coronet from Colorado Springs.

John Chamberlain's ex-cars.

 

The Chinati Foundation's Chamberlain Building used to be a wool and mohair warehouse in Marfa. In 1983 it was adapted by Donald Judd to house 23 of John Chamberlain's steel sculptures.  Some are from a group of ten cultures constructed on a ranch near Amarillo between 1972 and 1975, and are loosely named after Texas towns and counties. Ant Farm did Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo in 1974. More on Ant Farm.

1995 Ford F150 & 2005 Chevrolet C1500. Marfa, Texas.

               

1967 Buick Skylark. Denver, Colorado.

 

From Markus Anstadt: "Looks like a restoration in progress. Denver neighborhood garage." Here's a 1966 Buick Skylark convertible we posted on a cold day in Maine. A 1970 Skylark in Maine. Great summer car. And speaking of summer cars, here's a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass.
