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

i thought those wagons were hardtops, that one looks like it has door tops

 

In 1957, Oldsmobile had the Golden Rocket 88 series, the Super 88 series and the Starfire 98 series. I believe, though I'm not certain, that both of the 88’s had hardtop station wagons, as well as conventional types with window frames. No station wagons were produced in the 98 series. Oddly enough, all 1957 Oldsmobile station wagons are called Fiestas.

 

Great bunch of cars. Thanks for posting them. I like that wagon too.

When you say saved. Do you mean you saved it ?

I would like to here you saved the malibu next to the olds.

I love that body style and they are really hard to find in this area...

 

Tried to load more pictures, but they came out huge; anyway it's a ranch in Wyoming that's being cleaned up. Scroll down a ways and there are some cheeeep projects - even if the floors are gone, any complete '37 Chevy is a good deal at $500.00!

I have some older pictures, not digital, what is the best way to post them?

 

Do you have a scanner?Get them scanned into your computer then upload to image shack or The Hamb.Best of luck.

 

Whats this? Either not viewable or wrong link.

 

With a little practice taking digital shots of 35mm prints can look very good. Not the same as a scanner but not not as involved nor labor intensive. Use natural light, minimize shadows, closely crop, and hold camera as centered and perpendicular to print as possible.

 

Good tip SouthUrn. I do that instead of scanning newspapers & magazines because they look way better photographed.

 

Supposed to be over 500 cars in this lot, and the whole collection is for sale:

These 2 Internationals used to/still sit out in the woods of a house I lived in for a long time back in SD, the pickup is a 39 I think and was drug out about 3 years ago and rat rodded, the guys are almost finished with it, the other one im not sure of the year but I'm guessing its from the 20s and most of it seems to be there. That one is still there last I knew and could probably be bought cheap, I know the pick up sold for 200

 

been a couple days so heres some more out of my local collection

The pictures of this ditch were taken back about 8 years ago, I went and checked on it 2 years ago and they had hauled 95% of the cars out for s****

 

more from the ditch above

 

the '65 cutl*** is a '67

 

Looks like quite a range of "s****". Was that in Iowa farm country? If so, not much rust, and a lot of 2 doors for that area!! Amazing none of it looks to have been picked over, it must have been way off the beaten path!!

 

Think I spotted a couple of Ramblers out there...

 

At the local PNP. Can't remember the make/model but I know a few on here will know!

Renault Dauphine?.. Sorry looks to new for this forum!

 

^^^That looks like a Dolphine all right. Try to get one of the tires off a rim on Coats tire machine! Impossible'!

 

A local junkyard as a few of those but they are all 4 doors,if a 2 door version was made I would like to have a body and make a frame for it so it could handle a motor much bigger than what it came with.
