Title: car graveyard
Post by: zizi666 on 08 January 2013, 02:06:41 PM

Just saw this on a local newspaper site.
It's a photoshoot of a car graveyard in the Ardennes. Apparently US troops left some 500 cars to rot at the end of WW2 when it became obvious the owners had to pay for the repatriation. Now only 150 remain. These photos have a very PA feel to them.

Some sad sights in there. Grand old dames long gone.
