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

A buddy of mine scooped up this lil gem a couple of weeks ago.

 

Big M Automotive, Williams, CA 2011

 

^^^Are they visible from the I-5? I think I've seen a wrecking yard driving through Williams before.

 

This is the 32 5 window. Next to the open car.

 

want what's behind the Ford truck - Maverick Daddy - is that a 39 Ford ?

 

Thanks for that, its already been pointed out.... please read all the posts! JW

 

I see you said they are probably gone now so exactly how old are those pictures?

 

Must be in Sweden!

 

Jepp, J, i made the junkyard pics in July in Sweden, kyrko mosse near tingsryd. except the truck, i found it somewhere in Småland besides the road. a Scania Vabis from i think mid to late 50s.

Cheers, Carsten

 

I took those photos around 1974 or so. Here is the lot today. Sort of a triangle lot. It is between Pacific Coast Highway and the railroad tracks. There are still vehicles there, but none of the oldies I photographed.

 

Another older shot. ...

 

O

Here's another old tin woodie. I passed this one a while back. It was on old rt. US -11. It was at a old Motel, that has turn into a used auto parts store. { junkyard} It was pretty rough. So it probably just got crushed. But ya can't save them all. SAD

 

While getting hay with the ol man today ,the farmer told us about a truck down the road they just pulled out .Its a 41 but it must be a 3/4 or 1 ton picup because the headlights are outside the fender . Baby is paper thin in some spots

 

Must have been stored indoors somewhere to look as solid as that.

 

Here's a cool discovery I made the other day while driving down random country roads in east-central Illinois.

 

Now how did they do that? Crane? I have heard of cars falling through the barn floor, but never up through the roof!

 

Chuck Norris put it up there and dares you to try to take it down!

 

"Ran when parked..."

 

Just begs the question, WHY!”

 

... got lost in a snowstorm ...

 

For the chickens.

 

Packard*****......X3.......if you can see.........stretch.....

 

And if you can believe he has the ambulance market cornered also........

 

The '55 Ford on the barn roof is amazing. They even modified the roof to make a flat spot for it to sit on. Somebody apparently had more money than sense.

 

Flubber.......lol.

 

Here's a couple finds. This pickup is sitting outside the old garage. But it's what's on the inside, that is really cool. A very rare Willy's sedan delivery. The front sheetmeal was also there. But sorry, it was very dark, and tight to get very good photos. Ron....
