A classic American car in the deserts of Colorado. "I found this car, a 1958 Oldsmobile, just as the winter sunset began to climax above the desert top of Mesa Verde.[...] The silence surrounding the desert lent a feeling of melancholy for an era I would never know, but felt I was catching a last glimpse of," says Anderson.
