Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Yeah! I want to go there!!!

 

Yep, about a couple months ago.

 

That nova hatchback you posted a picture of is a pretty rare 74 spirit of america edition. Would be worth dragging out just to resell to a nova collector.

 

I am in northern il

Fantastic thread

 

Here are some that a local junkyard hauled in. Acquired from a old hoarder. Mostly Mopars. Some are being parted, but they are trying to sell most as whole cars.

 

Some more...

 

and more...

 

Love the ultra rare 1942 DeSoto with hidden headlamps! I'll take that one and the 1940 Plymouth convertible, please.

 

Yeah, that '40 droptop is pretty uncommon. Hopefully someone will rescue and build it!

 

That's a whole lot of cool right there!

 

No pics of the lime green/flamed car next to the Chrysler wagon?

 

That's a very nice left hood side panel for '38-'39 Ford truck leaned up against that pile of assorted parts, better than the one on my '38.

 

If you take photos of the Edsels, could you please get clear shots of their data plates? They're in the front of the driver's side door jamb. I pass the info to Edsel expert Phil Skinner for his registry.

 

I would love to have that 40/41 convertible.

 

A 1957 Fargo we rescued yesterday.

That vert looks a lot like the one my wife's uncle had when it was new, '39, '40? Plymouth?

 

Sorry, those were gone about two months ago when I went by. The last I went by (a few weeks ago), there wasn't much left. There's still a lot of wooded area in the middle, though.

 

I found this the other day... house looked abandoned and this was sitting in the front yard with the weeds grown up around it... clear coat was peeling. Best pic I could get of it for right now. I think it's a 36? Looked to be in nice shape to be sitting like this. Not sure what the deal is with it.

 

That's just odd. That nice of a car looks out of place there. It looks as if someone just parked it and walked away (stolen), or died in it. Better go back by and have a closer look...

 

Why did Lada's have a heated rear window. To keep your hands warm when you were pushing it.

 

True, but not so many had this magic window that gets your hands warm, i had 3 different Lada's and none had heated windows and our Lada club (200+ members) have many different year (1970-1991) and model cars (talking about 2101-2107 models) and guess what none have hand heater on the window, but interior heater will make a russian bath inside the car in no time even in station wagons

 

A bit O/T guys. JW

 

Some more from NZ, a number of years back. JW

 

^^^ that's (was) a dream yard.
