GMC Waiting for a Facelift

The small town of Mojave, CA contains a number of rustic scenes with great character. While traveling down a back street, I stumbled upon this very well used, and perhaps forgotten, GMC delivery truck. It's position in the lot indicates that it was parked, rather than simply abandoned. How long ago was it parked? Someone's restoration project? Will it find its way to a museum or a private collection? All good questions that only the coming years will answer.

 

This is a 3-frame, hand held HDR image. The texture and weathered features prompted me to process in a heavy, more painterly manner to capitalize on the unique look. Even in the ultra dry desert air, rust and elements have taken their toll.
