Tad,
I'm intrigued, forgive a down-under guy his naivety, but have some of the cars sunk into the ground? Is this the result of the climate with the snow or have the bottoms rusted away? Mal

I'd guess it's a little of both. Soft ground + years of sitting will do that. I've seen some cars here in Kansas that have only sat 10-20 years that were so deep in the ground you couldn't get the doors open. Heck, I know where there's a 1928 Essex 4 door body that's all the way up to the middle of the doors, and has an at least 30 year old tree in the middle of the car! I need to go get pics of it and post it on here. It's supposed to be my car, but the land changed owners and I don't know if I'll ever get it.

Tad,
Thanks for posting. Some of them look like drivers  .Looks like some good stainless parts on some of them. Bet some people out there can use some parts off them or even restore some of them.

I have already posted this picture of a car in the salvage yard, it may be of interest to someone here. It is a 1950 Olds. the car is decked out with options that include an aftermarket trunk mounted air conditioner, wouldn't that be a nice touch to an old Packard out there, a period correct air conditioner.
i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/petritl/Ponderosa/PICT0203.jpg ** note the chrome air intake ports on the upper qtr panels** i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/petritl/MVC-029S-1.jpg My friends shed, the black sedan on the right is a 1935 Dodge 4dr sedan, he bought it from the original owner in the mid fifties, it has been sitting since the mid sixties.He never registered the car; it has the original 1935 title and paperwork from the state of Illinois. rust free dent free car The 52 chevy to the left was a daily driver until 1971 when Tony got a company car, this car was recently removed from the barn and is at a body shop as we speak. when it was put up on the trailer I was amazed, no holes in the floorboards, heck they were still painted green. The car without a clip is a 1935 Olds, 4dr sedan (all doors suicide)the rest of the car is out of the picture, he removed it years ago to repair the engine. This car has been sitting since the late sixties. rust free dent free car To the left of the Olds is a 1951 Ford F3 pickup truck( no duals), some rust but not bad at all. |
