FROM A BUICK 6

Its tyres long since decayed, the chassis of this classic American car sits, rusting on its haunches whilst slowly being swallowed by the long dry desert grasses.

The car hasn’t moved since roughy 1920 when the last occupants of Bodie, now a remote ghost town in the Sierra Nevada mountains, left their worldly possessions and opted for greener pastures after the Gold Rush ended.
