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

it was rough but there was a bunch more...

 

This was on C.L. for about an hr. last Sunday for a grand,,,,,, No number and no reply to my email before it went away. Bummer.

 

Man! yeah some of those CL finds are how fast you can jump depends if you get it.

 

Great thread!! Found it last week, finished reading start to finish. Thanks!

Sad to look at these old hulks remembering how great some of them looked to my young eyes when they first came out especially 56s and 57s.

 

This thing showed up next to a pawn shop in my hometown when I was a junior in High School. I offered to buy it from the guy as a project, 'Nah, I'm gonna restore it'. After I left for the military every time I came home I offered to buy it from the guy again, and again and again. 'Nah, I'm gonna restore it.' Last fall was my ten year high school reunion and guess what's still sitting there having not moved an inch in 12 years.

 

You sure he wasn't saying "Nah, I'm gonna STORE it"?

Read every post and looked at every picture. I am pooped. Great thread

 

Found this hoopity buried on the side of a hill (erosion control?) I dont know what it is but with the coil on the firewall I now what it isnt .... anyone go an idea?









.... any ideas? I did find a old Bars Leak bottle with "pat pending" and dated 1947 buried in the wheel well

 

That looks like a fuel system vacuum tank, this could be a Buick... I just can't see it very well.

 

I aint going back ... I found a tick digging in my junk! ... I assume coil because it has, I think, a high volt connector.

But doing alittle research I think the Bars Leak Bottle was worth the tick bite .... 1950 bottle when they were still in San Fran.

 

Oh , good grief !!! Bet 'ya no one will come with the reply "pic,s or it did,nt happen"

 

Betcha he didn't burn it off with a lighter neither.

 

Or stab it with a icepick

 

From a private 'collection' - nothing's for sale - believe me I tried..

 

A tick in your junk? Sitting and rotting,,,,,,,,,,EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW

 

... reminds me of the guy out hiking with a buddy and got snake bit ... punchline "The doctor says you are gonna die!"

 

i need the skirts off that 53 olds

 

Maybe next time roll out there with CASH and say I'd like to buy it and have $xxxx with me now to make that happen and show him. Stranger things have happened especially if your offer is market value or close to it.

 

Photobucket finally decided to play nice.... the pic.s are back up.

 

This one may have been posted before, it's coming out of Petrified Forest/Painted Desert
Nat'l Monument, in Northeastern AZ.
Wife and I went out there for vacation week before last. In my neck of the woods this car would have rotted to the frame rails by now...

 

What is is, a Pontiac?

 

I think it was a GM car of some kind, not really enough left for a novice car spotter like myself to positively identify... some one on here will probably be able to give the Make, Model, and year, no problem...

Looks like a Studebaker.

 

~This part deleted because it made a certain HAMBer sad ~
And now back to the topic at hand.

This 37 Dodge was sitting and rotting and is now going to it's new home this week where the owner is restoring it!



35 Chevrolet Standard that is going to scrap.



A 1939 Pontiac I found buried under many trees while out for a walk.



A Hudson used as a sign I saw on a trip.

 

1931 Studebaker

What did I find and what year is it?

 

Looks like its about a 1957 white wc22. Likely has a mustang gas 6cyl flathead engine in it, seems most of them did along those years. Jim

 

Are these very desirable as I could get for cheap , I just don't have anywhere to put it
