|  After I visited the Brain-Melting Colorado Junkyard last month, I couldn't stop thinking about the car project I've been wanting to build more than any other (including even a Zaporozhets with a Tatra V8 swap, and that's saying something) in recent years: a 1940-1954 American sedan with well-aged patina, 21st-century Detroit V8, manual transmission, and modern suspension and brakes. So, last weekend I returned to the largest assortment of cars from that era that I've ever seen, to get some ideas. While wandering around, looking at Kaiser Virginians and Buick Specials, I glanced up and saw the scene in the above photograph.
 That got me thinking about my friend Walker Canada's great artwork, and the "Junkyard Treasure" graphic he designed for the Murilee Martin Lifestyle Brand™ website a few years back. And, as a gift from the MMLB™ to you, I've added a downloadable desktop-wallpaper-sized version of the Junkyard Rainbow photograph (in case you've become tired of the Junkyard Wallpaper and Thrown Rod Wallpaper files you already have lowering the property values of your workplace computer). Enjoy.
