Ghost of the Open Road Original Painting 60x60

$4,800.00

Some cars are just transportation. Others are legends, even when left behind.

On a midweek afternoon along US-34, near Grand Lake, Colorado, we spotted it—a classic Cadillac, sitting by the road like a ghost of its former glory. The doors were locked, but the trunk? Wide open. It had been left behind, waiting.

We didn’t take it. We just wanted to see it, feel it, and capture its presence. My sidekick snapped the perfect shot, and from that moment, the painting was inevitable.

Now, on a large-scale canvas, this piece preserves the story of that forgotten Caddy—its timeless beauty, its silent history, and the nostalgia of open highways.
