In a recent visit to Colonia, there were several old cars parked in the historic district of Colonia del Sacramento. Sometimes these oldies are more or less restored. This old Ford was painted pink; it is more charitable to render it in black and white.
Sometimes the dear old cars are just left to decay in a friendly old cobbled street, windshield covered by stickers. This Citroen has been in this same place for at least 20 years. Those reeds grow from inside the car, through what used to be a removable roof. Nature takes back its own.
This Vauxhall is used as a prop for the menu board of a popular restaurant. The front still looks proudly toward the customers.
Sometimes the classics are just used by their owners, while waiting for their turn to become an urban ornament.
