The snake holes around this car were everywhere and I was wearing flip flops. This car looked so regal sitting abandoned for decades. The axles were partially buried. I feel I gave it a second life when I snapped the shutter. It was certainly the highlight of my day exploring the forgotten Mother Road, Route 66.
