Features Hunting old cars with the grandkids

My son in law found this pile of old tin out in western Nebraska while looking for a lost calf. He is not a car guy, but he told me about it. So him and I and my 3 grandkids went out for a look. I was able to buy a 1928 AR sport coupe body ( in 2 pieces and missing a door ) and a 3 window chevy door. I plan on going back and trying to dig out the 33-34 chevy coupe body.

 

Any idea who owns them??

I know I'd ask first, ..might save yourself a lot of trouble.

 

No frames or engines. Old body dump for doodle bug left overs or hay wagon conversions . Great find.
Looks like they UNBOLTED the bodies, usually they would hack them off with an axe. Buy everything there !!

 

Nice to know that in 2017 that stuff is still out in fields. Bob

 

Actually, looks like they are at the bottom of a hill. Quite often they would fill in a small gully with several bodies, run over them with a tractor, spread some dirt around and plant some crops on top of them. Seen a few areas like this were the bodies started to pop up out of the ground after 50 years.

 

Can't think of a better pastime.
Cool finds.

 

In FACT i know right WHERE i buried SOME 1929-30 Fords , and a 1939 2 door chevy sedan and MORE.
DOWN the ravine. On Grandpa's property.

 

That's awesome. I wish I could still find stuff like that. I'd try to save it all. Whatever isn't needed/ wanted can always be used for trading material.

 

cool find

 

Save the bed springs. They don't make them any more & can make some nice seats.

 

Any chance there's a 26/27 roadster deck lid?
