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

The field full of 40s Fords & Chevies may still be there - haven't been there in over 15 years - near Sevierville, TN.

 

Both of these cars have gone to the great ash heap in the sky.

 

I'd love to get ahold of that Plodge mordor with the fins (second one in).

 

The photo of the engine compartment belongs with the Studebaker Hawk parked in the barn. I'd like to know what that engine came out of originally. Does anyone know?

 

All of these are/were in Eastern Tennessee - most probably no longer exist

 

Jaguar i think

 

Looks like a Jaguar to me.

 

yours for $300 or thereabouts. Let me know if you want his contact info.

Its in a wee little town called Wood Mountain, in Southern Saskatchewan.
Just google that for more info.

 

sometimes i think the snowbirds ( retired couples who stay the winters here cause its warmer than there home state ) have taken all our vintage tin back home to rust out .. meanies. chris.

 

A few more.
'37 Nash Lafayette.








^ I know of a bunch of these '40ish IHC half tons.

 

Jaguar 4.2 inline 6. Probably late sixties. My dad has a '67 E-type with one that looks just like it.

 

Definitely Jaguar, but I think its smaller than 4.2 , The carbs and inlet are tiny

 

This is part of my collection. Since it seems I can't get anything done on any of them, they might as well be considered sitting and rotting. My apologies for the terrible pictures, as I climbed onto the roof of my shed, but was quite late in the day.

 

Cool stuff!

Do you sell or trade parts? I'm looking for parts for my 72 Coronet (police car) and I need some 28-29 Model A roadster doors and a good hood for my 26 TT... a**** other stuff!

 

If your name isn't Methuselah, maybe you might want to sell off a few?

 

Been there for decades....saving them from just sitting and rotting!

 

I worked for a govt. agency for 39 years, and part of my job required that I travel most state & county roads checking out bridges & culverts. Lots of opportunities for old car spotting.

 

Wow you should really move some of the ones you dont want. In the 4th photo, that row of trucks farthest away, I see a mid 30's truck in the far left I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. Let me know, Im down by Swift Current right now.

Anyway, I just snapped these today actually.






^ those '50 Chevys are REALLY popular it seems I know of at least 10 of them in various farmers fields.

 

Just took these south of Roswell, NM. Rather apparent some have been sitting for a little while . . .

 

I want this one - bad! Do you know if it is for sale?

 

Whatta shame

 

A few better pictures of my hoarding.

 

Too bad I don't live in Montana, I'd head over there tomorrow.

 

I'm gonna try this again. My stupid internet service is gonna get a kick in the %$^&% tomorrow.

 

One more.

 

And again.

 

One more group.

 

Feels like I have internet terets!

 

Two more pictures.

 

I spy a finned Mopar, '57?, that could use a home.

That red Buick don't look too bad either. Nice collection!
