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

Did you/ are you able to save them?

 

Nope !
This was about 6 years ago. The dude that worked there told me the owner will never sell anything on his property ! And Man did he have a lot of old iron laying around.. He'd rather that it all rotted away ...
I don't haul outta there anymore and sure would like to know if he changed his mind !
If anybody gets out there his property is on Amboy road about 3 miles south of the old frontage road (national trails hwy) that takes you back to Ludlow,ca

Many, many years ago I drove out there to Baghdad. I think it's just west of Amboy. Nothing there but a sign on the RR tracks. Anyway I got out and nosed around and found a ditch with some old fenders in it. Found me an old 20's Buick? fender all wrinkled up. Took it home and used it for autobody cl***. Wish I'd have a had truck and could have saved the other stuff. I remember another later Buick fender with the portholes in it. Probably late 40's early 50's.

 

I would rock it!

 

A few, more to come!

 

more........

 

Here are a couple of Packards down the street from me.

 

Couple of old pickups next to the new Chick-Fil-A in Sunnyvale CA. West Coast Customs & Cl***ics is permanently closed. Looks like the owner of these two never came back for them.

 

...

 

Went picking today, some pics.

 

I saw this tudor in a pasture on the way from my in-laws' house Saturday. I didn't snap a picture at the time, but Google maps street view has it.

 

Old Henry J

 

I think you mean "poor" old Henry J.

 

"There's a hole in the Henry, dear Liza, dear Liza..."

 

I'm still laughing my a.. off. Thanks for the chuckle guys!

 

Another Tennessee Tudor (Coworker snapped these on his cell phone):

 

My coworker, who lives in the sticks, is now showing me all of the old cars he knows of in his area.

 

Pair of Packards via Google Street view

 

Nah, not the Fleetline! That's obviously been sectioned!

Doc.

 

I thought that I was the only one that looked for cars on street view!

 

Where are you located stringbean?

 

Nashville, TN. The pasture cars are all from about an hour south of here.

 

Nice to have that kind of resource around, Belle Meade just sounded familiar?

 

I've been hoping to save this one for a while, got closer today...

 

Here's a few.

 

Ned, what kind of shape is that '37 Terraplane in? What body style is it?

 

It's a 2 door. They are all very rough. mostly parts, if that. Here's another shot. It's to the left.

 

This one is for sale near where I live. If anyone is interested I can get you In contact with the owner.

Found this old Buick sitting near a mine in AZ. Obviously used to power the mine winch. Data plate is gone. Can anyone Id the year?
