Cadillac on Eighth Street, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, 1974.
This image tells a story without needing words. Contrasts in shape, style, texture, and time prompt an overarching question as to what is more out-of-place–the vintage car or everything behind it. If further words were needed they would tell the viewer that this 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with a 429 cubic inch V-8 engine and vinyl roof representing the pinnacle of 1960’s American automotive luxury was in this 1974 photograph already a dinosaur in many ways more antiquated than the aging structures behind it. Those old enough to remember can recall the long lines at the gas station from 1973, the year before, due to the OPEC oil embargo which rapidly drove consumers away from gas hogs like the one pictured. Though the buildings are old, they still stand and serve their purposes, while the Cadillac almost certainly no longer exists, a lesson in engineering and design and the uncertain longevity of the results such efforts produce. Taken on Kodak black and white film using a Nikon F2 equipped with a 50mm f2.0 Nikkor lens.
