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

Cotton Gin steam engine in Elko, SC...




And, for the railroad buffs.....The origional roadbed for the S.C. Canal and railroad's first rails, at the time the longest in the world and the first passenger train in the us, Williston, sc.....


This Wagon is sitting on the old roadbed.....

 

It's sad , I pass by a dozen sitting in the woods every day. The guy won't sell them. I should take photos if I don't get shot with rock salt.

 

The white roadster with black fenders looks to be a Shay.

 

Have to drive by this everyday, calls it yard art.

 

Yep, 4 lug wheels are a dead give away.

 

Wow.Rotting cars at a classic car dealership.Work there or what's he pay for the advertising?

 

That '57 Ford sitting next to the black Jag on the rollback looks like a retractable. Is it in good condition, do you know? Just curious.

 

Looks like a normal Fairlane to me.

 

Look at the 7th picture from the top; you can see the roof of the Ford sitting next to the Jag. It looks like the roof is two piece, or is it just my old eyes seeing what they want to see?

 

Looks like a four-door (aka "Town" in Ford-lish) Sedan to me. You can see the window frames in both shots. I think if it were a Skyliner retractable you'd be able to see a little separate overhang over the windshield header in the head-on view.

 

Also it's not a hard top and in photo 3 if you looks close you can see a narrow rear pillar, the retractables have a really thick Thunderbird styled one.

But don't feel bad, it's almost completely blocked from view by the other cars.

 

The front of that car.

He buys and rescues rotten relics from all around, fixes some and sells them. All are for sale, call him if you see something you need.

Tell him Russ sent you.

 

Whoa! Nice stash.

Mom lives down the road in Meadview, maybe time to pay her a visit.

 

awsome

 

Studebaker 2R5 to the right of the Ford

 

i wouldn't advise going back in there again without permission, i know the owner and he is a real hard ass when it comes to people trespassing on his property, i will let him know about this thread so he can reply to anyone interested in some of his cars or parts

 

was sittin' n' rottin' til i saved it in 2003:









wasn't moved since '67, and helped me not gettin' bored the last years

whats the ticket on those 59s? wat state?

 

Where are these '59 Caddys??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

 

They're in a state of disrepair.

2 (shown) of 5 '59s Caddy CDVs were included as part of a recent multi-car acquisition. I'll entertain PM/emails from genuinely interested parties with the understanding that IF any are resold they will not be less than current market rate. They are not being advertised for sale anywhere. This is a sitting & rotting thread.

 

i figured with the dirt burms built up all around them, i dont blame him. you can see vandals already wrecked a bunch of windsheilds and glass. it sure was exciting climbing up the dirt wall the first time and seeing all those though

 

Lol, I just came across three NASCAR Certified Busch Series tube chassis, slight tweaking here and there from hitting walls and whatnot, but otherwise BEAUTIFUL. Bet THOSE are worth saving!

 

I could fix it!

 

No idea what you're replying to... but I agree, I could fix it too!

 

Well I went to Bean Station Tennessee to Miller's Auto Parts today to look for parts for a 61 chevy wagon. he had one but the tailgate was rougher than what I had. I don't know them or work for them but i took a few cell phone pics while I was there.They have 35 to 40 acres of 50s and 60s cars and the stuff is for sale.

 

Looks like a good place to find rattle snakes..

 

someone get that 48-50 ford panel behind the barn
