Wijnlands Cars

The incredible Wijnland Auto Museum, Joostenberg Vlakte, in the Western cape contains a superb collection of decaying, mostly American, classic cars. While it’s a bit sad to see the effects of old age, the cars also have a unique patina and atmosphere, and it’s a fertile hunting ground if you like the shapes and colours of these timeless classics.

Photographs in this album include: The Red GM 4, Took that corner a shade too fast there, The Red GM 3, The Fin 2, Chrome trim adds sophistication to today’s vehicles, Windows, The line to Eldorado, Fenderline, Screenline, Roof and screenline, Mercury, Fin 1, Ultra convetible, The Red GM 1, and more.
