METTMANN, Germany (AP) — Michael Froehlich celebrated his 50th birthday in 2000 by buying 50 vintage cars, all manufactured the year he was born. After removing the oil and pollutants, Froehlich parked them in a private forest near his home in western Germany to create a classic car graveyard.

The collection includes a Jaguar XK120, a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and a Porsche 356, and would be worth millions if the cars were restored. Instead, they remain parked and covered in fall's crisp leaves, winter's heavy snow and 25 years of rust.

And so man and machine continue to age together.
