Brilliant stuff. It's so easy to overdo weathering, but this guy gets it 100% right.

FM did a good deal of them. My favorite, though, may be Danbury's "Winter Project" '55 T-Bird, complete with diorama.

@monteverde802 Disagree, there is huge unrealistic error in the middle of the header photo. Do you guys see what I see?

@john-barry By the way, on the 3-rd photo the Ferrari is loaded on a trailer, hopefully someone discovered it...

Full disclaimer: I personally like appropriately weathered models, but I don't like junk yards models. So much skill and talent wasted... just my personal opinion. I enjoy the beauty of automotive design and the realism in some dioramas as long as there are no trashed cars ...

it`s setting up a contrast that appeals to me.......you visit the big old dilapidated mansion on the edge of town....just to get a notary stamp applied...you`re headed up to the main house.....your eye catches this tableau and your thoughts run to all the years and lives that have passed on this very property

@john-barry Perfect photo for the world you want to drag me to ... but I see enough ghosts at work, so my car world is shiny.
