Description
Fine art photograph capturing the rusting chassis of a classic 1937 Chevy Coupe, abandoned in the eastern Sierra gold mining ghost town of Bodie, California.
Gold was discovered in Bodie in 1859. By 1879 there were an estimated 10,000 people living in Bodie and 2,000 buildings, including 65 saloons. An estimated $100 million in gold bullion was extracted from the mines from 1876, when the Standard Company discovered a profitable deposit of gold-bearing ore, until the last mine closed in 1942, due to War Production Board order L-208, shutting down all nonessential gold mines in the United States. Bodie is now a California State Park, preserving the town in a state of arrested decay.
