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

Saw these on the way to York last weekend.

 

More from the same place

 

Not sure where.​

 

My sister-in-law had a station wagon just like that. The same color green, too. 6 Cylinder Power-glide. It had trouble getting out of it's own way. Very scary to drive in highway traffic.

 

they are way past fixing but I can’t stand to see good parts get crushed.

 

I wasn't meaning just those but all 4 doors. JW

 

This Still just pisses me off.... what a waste

 

Back axle seems to have moved forward a few inches, maybe somebody installed one from a shorter wheelbase car (I think they were torque-tube drives) or maybe somebody started an AWB project?

Spotted this Chevy a few days ago in a small ranch town in eastern Oregon. It's in the boneyard of their local history museum.

Some kind of seeder, perhaps (???), with a boom made from a tree trunk.

Note the offset rear wheels (both sides), presumably for oscillating action.

 

Clown car for parades. Who wants to ride the bull ?

 

Thats really what it looks like. From a time where people didn't want to sue everyone for any reason. No way that would ever fly in today's world.

 

Well, that would certainly explain the pink paint.

 

Man, I wish I could save most of 'em! I need a bigger garage.... and more disposable income....

 

Wasn't in the auction but forgot to ask factory a/c or was.

 

Yes a Dodge - Victory 6 I think it said - no bids reserve I think was $2500

 

There were two ranch wagons that had a high reserve and no bids. It was on-line with a pre-view day.

 

Someone stuck that roof on the Buick??

 

For sure, this car did not leave the Buick factory with that top on it.

Pulled these out yesterday. The 37 Ford Dump truck seized up in the Blizzard of 78 an was parked were I dragged it from . I remember my dad putting a rope loop around the steering wheel to the door ,jumping out and letting it clunk across the hay field in 1st gear .My brothers an I would drag bales to him on the back . In the winter, he would drive it on the ice to see if it was SAFE for us kids !

 

Yup, that's a Victory 6- the body actually slides down over the chassis to help strengthen it, since it's made lighter gauge metal than other cars, used to keep weight down (the Victory 6 used an all steel Budd body).

 

The old guy does have a 1957 Ranchero that's said to be a Barris custom - it has the emblem's on the side and a really nicely striped chrome dash - still running a Y-block with 3x2's and other niceties. I owe him a call back so I'll ask about the Buick. Just one of the drivers sold - a 1957 4 door and none of the others. Reserve was pretty high all most - the 4 door was $7500 but was nice - the 57 Barris Ranchero had an opening bid of $25,000 and was a nice driver. He had Edsel's - mostly a 57-59 FoMoCo guy....

 

Volvo 445 ?
