Lost Cars of Brooklyn, Part 1
Living in Brooklyn is a dream for some. To others, it’s just the city of their existence. North Brooklyn gets a bad rep these days, laying claim to Williamsburg and Greenpoint – so called “Hipster Heaven.”
But many have inhabited this area of “BK” for generations, and it shows when you stumble upon their automobiles. The people of New York City are the proudest you will ever meet, that goes double for outer borough residents. They hold tight to civic pride, love of community, and to memories – including their classic automobiles.
Take a walk (or fixed gear bike ride) around North Brooklyn, and you’ll see many old school vehicles park on gritty (or not so much) NY streets.
A slightly-dropped Chevy Nova in Greenpoint.
This rusty roadster probably hasn’t moved from its spot off Meeker Ave in decades.
Always parked in the same spot at a school bus depot is this classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air.
NY-proud Ford Mustang hangs out off the BQE.
In Williamsburg, someone has a very well maintained Ford Fairlane…
…and in Greenpoint, another Fairlane!
Can’t go wrong with a deep purple Plymouth. You can bet there will be more shots of this ride coming to blog posts!
