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

Looks photoshopped. They even "filled" all the frame rail holes when they "painted" it.

 

What's that say on the hubcap? Cartercar?

 

I know exactly where those Customline frames are, my old man bought the bodies about 15 years ago. The diff from one of tgem is under the house about to go into his '56 Courier.

In regards to "saving" cars like the '57 T-Bird a few pages back, I think it depends who you're taking it from. If a car has an owner, I think you should respect his or her wishes. On the other hand, I tried for years to get permission from the local Council to buy parts off an abandoned local property they'd seized. Just after Christmas they bulldozed and scrapped 40+ cars and trucks (nothing newer than 1968). With scrap metal at $30 a tonne here, they'd have been better off opening the property up for collectors to pick through. I would have paid what they got for scrapping the whole car for one bumper. There's another abandoned council owned property nearby that's facing the same fate. I think I might do what all the other local car guys do and grab what I need before a $3000 parts car ends up as a $30 lump of scrap under the treads of a Caterpillar.

 

Maybe it's fiberglass???

 

I hope it is. JW

 

That is just CRAZY!!!!! Bruce.

 

One I found a few years ago farmer said not for sale I can understand that. It is his and he has memories loves to look at it and doesn't need the money . And THATS OK.

 

Lincoln.

 

sorry, I love dodge trucks....LOL

 

One of my favorite shots, could have been taken in 1970, I took it in 2015.

 

One more...

 

This almost looks like they towed the Caddie in and just left it hooked up to the wrecker.

 

Looks like it, but the wrecker still gets used, and the Cad was being pulled from its resting place. There were over 100 old Ford window regulators and an engine block in the trunk!

 

A couple of old panel trucks...

 

for sale, $500. Smart Auto Wrecking in Wenatchee Washington. Only a week or two left, then everything is scrapped.

 

Out walking in the woods a few days ago. This was just off the trail.

 

more from Smart auto wrecking

 

View attachment 31120 50[/ATTACH] and still more from Smart Auto Wrecking. All for sale, are going to the scrapper. All in Wenatchee Washington.

 

Saw this about 6 years ago. Guess it's a very early International buckboard-like vehicle with a horizontal engine. It has been sold since.

 

They should be called Not so Smart Auto Wrecking If they are scrapping that 56 chevy wagon the crestline tudor Ford and the 55 ford . A lot of nice cars And theres money to be made too. Wish I was,nt in VA. someone needs to save them.

 

Very cool!!

 

You got that right! Not too Smart. Include those GM's in the first picture and the 39/40 4dr on that list, too. Must be hurting for quick money if they're gonna give up all that good tin for $30 a ton. It really pains me living on the East Coast, also, when I see this happening. You'd think that there wud be plenty of Chrysler "K" cars, Toyota's, Datsun's, etc. that they cud be gathering and scrapping instead. There's plenty of Northwest rodders, so maybe they'll get saved. We can only hope!

 

Found this one

 

Random pic's off the web
