Inside the 1,000-car Texas graveyard

Justin Hyde — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:00:00 EST

After reading about the 1,000-car rattlesnake-infested junkyard in Texas last week, a Jalopnik reader decided to survey the scene. Google's satellites were right: What Detroit makes, the earth takes. Here's a look inside a huge rotting classic car graveyard. More »

Still Strapped Down

Aside from the severe scouring this Porsche 356 took in warm-ups during last year's Monterey race, the one thing that jumps out from this shot: How about those leather hood straps? Photo: Maschinenraum via Flickr More »

The Mystery of Flickr's Ghost Car Dealership

Justin Hyde — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:00:00 EDT

Somewhere in Ohio sits an abandoned Chrysler dealership with old cars parked on the showroom floor, like a prop leftover from a nuclear bomb test. The only evidence of its existence were a set of eerie Flickr photos. Until now. More »

SR-71 Parking: Like Car Parking, But More Awesome

Because if you had eleven SR-71 Blackbirds, you'd arrange 'em all pretty and take a nice picture, too. And then you'd go hauling off into the sky like a supersonic, globetrotting bat out of hell. Technology rocks. [Lockheed Martin/Flickr] More »

Anyone who refers to himself as the Grand...

Anyone who refers to himself as the Grand Poobah of Luxemburg and is also one of our Flickr contacts deserves a huzzah. It appears he is governing his tiny European country from UK dragstrips and car shows. [ The Grand Poobah of Luxemburg via Jalopnik Flickr contacts] More »

Won't You Please Help ID Some Muscle Cars?

Mike Spinelli — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 15:59:19 EDT

Our Flickr buddy Djivy, a photog par excellence, took some clutch shots of American muscle cars last weekend. Problem is, as a poor peasant boy from Belgium whose existance relies solely on huge waffles and pints of H egaarten, he needs help identifying the cars he shot. Won't you please donate some of your valuable time and car-recall expertise to help keep American muscle free for Europeans to ogle in beautiful slide-film cross-processed in C41 chemicals? Thank you and Godspeed. – Mike Spinelli More »

The General Snaps Into the Flickr Generation

Davey G. Johnson — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 16:15:00 EDT

Okay, so the automakers are often late to the trends, but GM has hopped on the flickr bandwagon, posting all manner of photography, including a gang of Camaros at the GM Tech Center. So far, though, there's been no Ham Center photography that we're aware of. So, Detroit Metroite GM fans, get out there and shoot your cars in front of the ol' HC. We want Ham Center action now.

Hello Rusty Cars: A Flickr Gallery

Mike Spinelli — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 15:01:33 EDT

Notwithstanding the desires of rusty-car fetishists, whose off-hours habits we don't want to even want to think about thank you, rusty-car galleries are kind of a hoot. They're like short historical tragedies, whose narratives are internal and often evident only to the viewer. This one, on Flickr, is more than 1,000 stories strong, most of them starting with, "Once upon a time, long before undercoating..." More »
