It's awesome! I really love cars looking like this...

I reeaaally think it'd be nicer with a paintjob.
Can't the rust eventually eat holes in it!? Come on!

Some people go to alot of trouble to achieve this look.. some even clearcoat over the rust to preserve it.. :)

For sure! Just makes those cars special! Perfectly painted cars can (of course) look awesome too, but these cars do have more character I guess.

It's got a water bag! I haven't seen one of those in ages! :)

Always assume the worst: if it happens you'll be prepared and if it doesn't the surprise will be pleasant.

Oh I see, not entirely rust eh? Well ok then, I stand corrected.

Some collectors treasure ';patina' over restoration. I can get with that, up to a point. Nice 52 Chevy back there.

My dad had a water bag for our 1958 Plymouth station wagon (flathead six and Powerflite - now there's a winning combination!) and I'll bet I have a photo of that somewhere.

Notice the headlights on this car - aircraft lights? Some guys used to use them. The owner might have had to upgrade the electrical system to run those lights. Wider tires too. Hmmmm . . . peek under the hood?

You can't tell which way the train is coming from by just looking at the track.

If one hangs out with owls, one should anticipate a certain amount of dead mice.

I just thought of it - maybe it's a moonshiner's car?
