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

Love it, my high school car was one of these, still have it.

 

Some local cars I found near me.

 

A bit of research indicates that Citroen ID/DS 19's with this interior are pre-65; also, that some of the ID models (less expensive than DS) were made in West Heidelberg, Melbourne.

It never cease to amaze me how much material can still be found in the US/Canada/Australia even Sweden compared to my country where even cars from the 80's are seldom found in junkyards. Usually even if there is an older car it's rusted beyond saving or in the secret stash of the junkyard owner and not for sale.

 

Pontiac dash with Chev rear quarters on it? Or is the rear just sitting on the Pontiac floor pan.

 

I think that's a Canada-only Pontiac Pathfinder, has a Pontiac style grille and dash and engine but Chevy frame/wheelbase/quarters.

 

Makes sense thanks.

 

any tie -in w/ carroll? shelby name...

 

Unfortunately, no

 

Good catch guys. Likewise, that smart looking 55 dodge Regent in post 19906 is a Canadian Dodge (or "Plodge" as it's a Plymouth Savoy with a Dodge front clip). One of Gas City's other posts has an Alberta plate on a pickup. Must be a dry climate there (??) as I recall seeing LOTS of posts of real decent looking iron posted from there.

A real "PINK" slip.
