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

I'll offer $500 and a smoked brisket with beans and cole slaw for the Vette.

 

i"ll agree with that>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>woh

 

I'll take the 57 Buick Behind it!

 

Hey no rust!

 

Come on, some needs to rescue the Vette....

 

Except on the frame.

 

I had a guy I went to school with trying to convince me he'd bought several vettes (he was offering me one at the time) and he told me they only have a little body rust and just a few dents...

It took a lot to not smack him!

 

I'm confused on this one--it's got pull-out door handles like a '49 but has the gas filler behind a door on the quarter panel like a '50. I thought '49s had an exposed gas filler cap. Was that a running change late in the '49 model year instead of a change made at the beginning of the '50 model run? Or is this a '50 with '49 doors?

 

A few years ago, in a place called Bethany, in Manitoba.

 

all that space and they have to pile em up like that!

 

...and not a dent on it, I can't believe how straight it is!

This sort of thing both amazes and sickens me. I would LOVE to give that Vette a good home, keep it as original as possible....and exersise it regularly

Might as well ad this one! lol

 

Is that a home made E-type?

 

'51 was the first Ford hardtop.

 

Pretty sure the one behind it is a 55 Buick

 

Definitely a 55.

 

Whoah, whats that black sedan in the far? Right in front of that 80's Chevy van?

I Agree on the Vette. Any more info on that? (as in, is it for sale?) That breaks my heart to see. Those cars are amazing, and priced accordingly. Blows my mind it would be just sitting there, almost unwanted by the owners.

 

Looks like a 37 Studebaker.

 

I live about 20 minutes from Bethany. I wonder if they're still there? Might have to take a look around!

 

Yep its a vert

 

...you are correct, Chevy was 50

 

wow!!

 

the hardtop ford is a 51 you can tell by the trunk hinges 49's and 50's have the hinges on nthe outside of the car

 

Holy, thats...uh.... been there a while my guess is.

 

...this was sitting and rotting for years; I just picked it up today, a freebie; I just want the springs/hangers, but I'm keepin the rear bumper and some bed panels for patch panels on stuff, anyone need the rear axle?... has 4 & 1/2 bolt pattern, can anyone identify the year/make?...I just don't recognize it, ..orig. thinkin Ford?, they never had that bolt pattern but rear end could have been replaced, it has newer u-bolts.

 

Go ahead - Start the comments....
Yup its real!!! and Nope - it's not photoshop!!!

THis pic is about 4 years old. Car has been moved but it's still there.
And no, they won't part with it.

 

It kind of looks like a International but I am thinking early 60s dodge.
