This old beauty—likely a late 1930s Chrysler—rests quietly in Ranch Park, Susanville, CA. Once part of ranch land, the area is now a public park, and this rusting relic has become a favorite subject of mine.

I captured this photo by stacking 15 separate images for the sky to reduce noise and highlight the stars. The car was lit using a handheld flashlight across several frames—an old-school light painting technique. Everything was blended in post to create this final result.

It’s always a thrill to blend history and the cosmos in one frame. 🌌🚘
