Several years ago we began a series of images titled “Retired In …” comprising of old
vehicles that were found alongside the road, sitting in lots, pastures or just abandoned. These vehicles are of an age when sheet metal and steel was king and fiberglass was for wussies.
While most of
the vehicles we’ve discovered have been trucks of a bygone time, we have come
across a few cars. The majority of the
vehicles have become our friends as we tend to visit them whenever we’re in the
area just to check up on them. There
are dents, rust, patina and smooth curves on the fenders; flat tires and broken
widows all add up to a vehicle that has been set aside to rest in its senior
years.
We’ve
found more than one candidate per state however we’ve decided to keep it to just
one-vehicle per state. The first vehicle
that began this odyssey was a truck left on the side of a road in Victor
Idaho. An old work truck, rusty and in
negligent just sitting there in the snow. Sandy & I stopped to admire it
and the rest is history with that truck titled “Retired in Idaho”. Sadly that truck is no longer there; moved
someplace that we can only hope is better.
Each image is
28x16 and offered originally only as a paper or canvas print; however we have
begun offering the images printed on metal which look much better.
Printed on
fine art paper the image is $65.00; printed and stretched on canvas the image
is $145; and a metal print, float frame is $245. The paper is shipped rolled in a tube while
the canvas and metal prints are shipped flat.
Shipping is extra and billed at actual cost.
We are currently
offering the following states, AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NM, NV, TX, UT, WA, and WY
with more as we find them.
Perfect for
lovers of old vehicles and rust.
