Lots of cars: garden of steel

This thread is killing me.

 

More cars

 

Don't think I have shown any of this area before

 

Some more....

 

Few more...

 

More cars...

 

a Fargo is the Canadian version of the Dodge trucks

 

Almost at the end.

 

While you are pulling that, pull me a Windshield frame and a sunvisor too

 

Any idea of what he would like for the '29-'30 Chevrolet Roadster?

 

These are from my last visit at the end of October or start of November with the first snow. Just to make you Cali and Texas people feel good!
I have a few more from yesterday that I will post this evening.

 

Its not my yard. Call Bill Harrison on 204 248 2221

 

The one in the shed? It is an RPU. I should have used flash in there. Give him a call, number in last reply.

 

Outstanding Post!!! Thanks for the pictures

 

how does the ***LE thing work on these cars......

 

I think I'll be calling Mr. Harrison and suggesting he open up some of that acreage to camping..., and then I'll put in for a "Lifetime" membership.

Of course, I'll add in a "pick of the litter" clause for those who choose the "Lifetime" membership option. Being a Minn/Canadian transplant to Cali I can atest to how many of those type of "yards" were/still are huddled beneath the trees in the "Frozen North" (Beauuty, Eh?). Just wish I wasn't such a "muscle car only" type growing up.

Can't remember how many trips to the wooded outback ended up just using these cars for target shooting back in the 60's and 70's (still have some physical/emotional scars from farmer Jone's salt pellets...OUCH!, RUN!).
I'm so ashamed .

 

How big is that place! ????????

 

In terms of number of cars it is around four or five hundred cars. Almost all of them are pre seventies. They are mostly in one field with a few others and the spares on an adjacent site.

 

I didn't see any in your pictures, but if you come across any '42 DeSotos, please share the pictures. A Hamb'r is restoring one. The black '60 Dodge 2dr HT is probably worth saving, as are the '55-56 Mercs. Great yard!

Here is a '42 DeSoto... very distinctive 1yr only front end.

 

Wow, thats stunning! There were a few DeSotos but I did not see one like that I'm afraid.

 

I had a PM about the Chevy coupe by the gate. Here are a few more pictures of it.
Also a couple of other cars nearby including another Chevy coupe with original independent front suspension. Apparently a one year design due to its weight?
I have a few more pictures of the suspension that I will post later.

 

man there is so much cool stuff there i would have thought i was dreaming with my eyes open if i saw all that cool vintage tin

 

A few more of the Chevy independent front suspension

 

A couple more from that area that I don't think got posted

 

Cool stuff! Looks like something for everyone.

 

Aww laughing a bit here, started looking at this thread and its fields of great American steel........and as I sit here at Star Bucks using the net ........Strawberry fields forever starts playing as I look through each page..........stupid I know but i found it funny

 

The one I was referring to is in post 64 upper left pic

 

Wow, there is really some nice stuff in that junkyard!

 

I saw this one, though not in the field. If this is not the one, give him a call.

Also see post #55 first two images

 

Did the gentleman say how he came to have all these cars, is it an old wrecking yard, a personal collection or a many years of lost and stranded American tourist?
