ROADSIDE ATTRACTION COOL PICTURES--YOUR OWN


Recommended Posts

Here are a few shots I've taken that seem to fit in with this thread. I'll start off with "The Windmill Restaurant" in Morgantown, PA. My wife and I go to visit my elderly parents most Sundays and we end up having dinner at The Windmill fairly often. The vanes on the windmill revolve at about 5 rpm. That's them on their way inside, with my wife's Malibu Maxx in the foreground:

This Mack is for sale at a truck repair shop near my folks' retirement community in Honeybrook, PA:

A 1956 Buick Super that used to 'live' in my neighborhood. It's tags and inspection were long since expired and it had quite a collection of parking tickets on the windshield last time I saw it anout three years ago:

We spotted this '57 Bel Air Sport Coupe slowly returning to nature along Route 611 somewhere north of Easton, PA a few years ago:

This 1929 Chevy dump truck was parked in the front line of a used car lot on U.S.Route 30 in Paradise, PA a couple of months ago:

Those Edsel pickups earlier in the thread reminded me of this Packard pickup that I shot at The Corvair Ranch in Gettysburg, PA the same day I shot the '29 Chevy tipper:

While we're talking about old trucks, how about a 1960's Dodge wrecker?:

And finally, one of my old '66 Corvair Monza, which I had to sell about three years ago when we were hurting financially due to this blasted recession. I really miss this car, but I sold it to a good friend who promised me (in writing) the right of first refusal should he ever decide to sell it. This was taken at a roadside ice cream stand near Stroudsburg, PA in the Poconos:

A few more from the corall. I met the owner of all these cast-offs, but he was just leaving and we didn't have time to talk much. Here's a couple of Brits in the mix:

And this is for the tractor lovers. It was parked at the old one room school where my grandmother began her teaching career in 1910...at the age of 15.
