I've posted some of these before, I made the mistake of not getting the Model A with the monster tires!
Ack!*cough* Ack! Big A, my heart stopped for a second there. Few more I have stored on this computer I,m using at work. This one reminds me that I really ought to get on with mine before it ends up like this!
i dont know why but that picture does it for me. anyone ever see that book titled "DIAMONDS IN THE RUST" ? great book.
Here's one, I've got a few more I'll try to post later. A family member of the owner said they pulled the motor and put it in a their barn before parking it.
Good grief, just look at all that potential sitting around out there! Just ain't enough time and I doesn't have enough cash. I can just smell the Kano Kroil at woik!
like others, that huge pile of vintage cars is having an effect on me. A disturbance in the force that has disrupted my serenity. I may never recover.
here are some cars that i have spotted over the last few years on junkyard hunts and just traveling across the country. as to the specific locations of the cars...i really dont remember ...i should have documented where things were better. < 55 Imperial Limo! more later... i have so many pictures, and it makes me sigh every time i look at any of em!
I'm just over the border here in Erie. How long ago were those pictures taken? I take it you took the one on the trailer home? That one body looks like the front half of a 28-29 phaeton. I was this close to grabbing one like it a few years ago but the seller had a sudden heart attack and died before we could complete the deal. Of course his son who inherited it along with a barn full of others can't bring himself to sell anything. The worst part about it is I pass by the place where they're located twice a day to and from work. Anyway, good finds. I hope you were able to grab them. Steve
the 47 buick is one I recently picked up for ummmm eh hem,......free, 100% complete (the front clip is 4 feet to the right of the photo) the olds....well it just does it for me....all lonesome in that feild the rest are in one central location....on my father in laws property, and he has way more than you see here, he has a aircraft hanger full of old customs/sleds/rods that are either awaiting treatment or already done
My coupe when I got it. It was sitting under the blue tarp in his back yard for about a year. Prior to that it was sitting in his mother's garage for 25 more years, until he lost storage.
I also found this in a local junkyard. It's a 28-29 A, sport coupe turned roadster. It looks broken in the pic but it's actually channeled over a Zeed frame. It has a 46-48 steering box, banjo rear, and motor mounts for an early style flathead V8. It also had split wishbones at one time. I wonder if it was ever a finished car?

Not really abandoned....I know exactly where it is, I just can't seem to get around to getting it back out of storage and back on the road. Everyone loves to stumble upon a good barn find....I have my own built right in. LOL. One of these days.....
this pic is of a local place called trockmans scrap metal. this pile is long gone. but they still pile crap up like this. they don't keep any junk cars they just chew 'em up.
