U.S. 17 is a visual delight. You’re driving down he road when you slow to eyeball a deserted diner … …and spy a lone car. Was parking at such a premium, years ago, that valets put customers’ cars atop the roof? That’s as good an explanation as any for why this Renault Dauphine, a French economy car of uncertain vintage — it is at least 49 years old — bakes in the South Carolina sun. Ravenel, 280 miles southeast of Atlanta. (Photos by Senior Junkyard Correspondent Harold “Tex” Colson)
