I came across this wreck in an active ghost town, Austin Nevada. She clearly had been a looker at one time but was now past her glory. Yet her sleek lines still showed her former majesty. Even her current home couldn't hide that.

Igor, this is so different from your recent posts, but is equally compelling and insightful.  Love the commentary!   Your point of view  captures perfectly the long forgotten grandeur of the automobile along with the sense of abandonment with the derelict house in the background.  Way-cool!

I really like these types of images, with all the discarded "old" stuff strewn around in a chaotic mess...however, the fg car is certainly the center of attraction here; no matter where I look, my eye returns to the car,well done.

Yes, I tried to retain the feel of clutter of a junk yard and yet keep the composition from being too chaotic.

I tried to put a white frame around this one but it made things worse. Then I tried different shades of gray. All failed. The strange thing is that I can't understand why. All in all the best results come by looking at the large version activated by the arrow under the image.
