 The building in the background is the old Craviotto Brothers Iron Works. The Craviottos were in business for 84 years and just shut down in 2000. Their shop produced some of the most beautiful wrought iron gates and window grilles in California. They were also famous for their portable barbecues made out of oil drums, most of which are still in use and much in demand on Craig's List.

Love the story behind this one, and great catch with that old truck against this specific backdrop.

Clever mix of image, interpretation, and explanation.

The vehicle and the building look like they're at a similar stage in their lives - well,no I guess not, because the building is no longer in use. What a shame. I hope people can still get wrought iron if they want it.

I like the figure inside the car - he looks like iron too. Nice one.
