Photographer Dieter Klein travels to remote corners of Europe and the United States to find abandoned cars in forgotten places. From shabby backyards and dusty barns, in deserted fields and thick forests, Klein roams strange and isolated places to find cars and trucks that were once someone’s dream car. From a dented Porsche to a faded Cadillac, a battered VW Beetle to a whole fleet of abandoned military jeeps, Klein’s subjects creak with bygone glamour and might. Klein’s award-winning automobile photography is not only a tribute to classic cars but also to the transformative power of nature and the enduring intrigue of people and incidents unknown.
Check out his book Lost Wheels.
