Taken at Bob Weber Auto Mart in Racine, WI.

My uncle—a true American greaser (slicked back, Brill Cremed hair & the whole nine yards) up until the moment the world let him go sometime in his lateish 70s or so—worked here forever. He always had some sweet ride. Or would get them for people to use, maybe for a wedding or something else special.

The place mainly looks like a dumpy car lot. But there are a few lingering old signs way up in the sky to announce the place from far away.

I hate cars. And all they stand for and do. But sometimes a classic is just a classic.

(Imagine a lot will be taken with my iPhone. It's easy and always on me.)

Honestly, pretty inspired by Draplin's daily madness. There's a lot of nice looking things out there with limited life left in them, so I may as well help add to the record of them having existed. Right?
