The Ford Barn

Last Saturday my buddy and I took our coupes out to breakfast. The setting where we parked just looked perfect with the A's in front of the abandoned taverns. I "played" with the photo and came up with this.

I hope you all enjoy it.
I think It has a bit of a late 30's depression vibe going

Great photo, Tiny! Has the back car got different wheel sizes front and back or is it just the shadows?

By the way, what did the coupes have for breakfast?

Tiny · 03-30-2015, 07:02 PM

Thanks Hoogah. Yes my car runs 550 and 750 17" Tires. The coupes ate bugs and drank a little oil, and some gasoline for breakfast, after the owners had fattened up.

Nice picture. It's always sad to see dying small towns empty buildings turning back to earth.

It's not really a dying town. The town had a ton of bars buit in it during the 39's and 40's due to construction of Shasta Dam. Fast forward to now and they are used as cheap storage. Both look like the have stuff in them but neither serve suds anymore.

That is awesome!

I like that Tiny. I have a thing for old buildings and gas stations. Really looks good since you blacked out the white walls.

Great photo...

Great photo. You can imagine some kids running down the street pushing a hoop with a stick.

Tiny · 03-31-2015, 10:57 AM

Thanks everybody. As someone said this is what it's all about, having fun in your A

Looks like a bad part of town, the poor fellow parked in the rear had his hubcaps nicked!

Seriousy though, it's a great looking set of cars and backdrop. Thanks for sharing!
