Mostly, I don't photograph them (unless I see an unusually late example, such as this '89, or one resplendent in purple paint and tape stripes, like this '81), but today's Junkyard Find— spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-serve yard a few weeks ago— was just so incredibly Malaise-y that I felt compelled to document it in its final parking space.
