Pics Of Rare Old Tin

I'm pretty bored right now, so I thought I'd post some pics of some barn finds for your viewing pleasure.

 

A few more.

 

That's one of them Motorama trucks! Is that recent?

 

Where?

 

Yeah! I good amount of these pics were taken within the last 2-3 years. And, as far as I know, mostl of these cars are still sitting in the same places.

 

Most of them are in the Mid-West and North-Eastern US.

 

Here's another pair of pictures. This Cadillac is in Pittsburgh, PA.

 

you must be getting some of those from ebay... I have several of the same in my rusty car folder . I'm up to about 700 now. get em from here and ebay mostly, along with a few I've taken myself.

what is it about a rusted worn out old car that is so appealing???

 

you've got to be kidding me. where is this one? i call dibbs.

 

Yeah. I just collect them in a folder on my computer. I have a bunch that I took, and a bunch that I found.

I don't know what it is about the cars, but I just can't get enough of them. They just have so much more "personality" to them than a trailer queen does.

 

this one: Futurliner

 

That one was just sitting in a field just North of Pittsburgh. It's back on the road now.

Here's another picture for you.

 

damm, where do you live at. Its not every day you see vintage tin like that. great pics

 

I only saw two Barns in all those pictures...

 

LOL. I don't know what you call them other than barn finds, though.

Just finds, I guess. But that doesn't sound as good.

 

Ya a day late and a dollar short

where are these two sittin?

 

Im leavin' right now to cruise around "just north of Pittsburg"!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL. No kidding. It's insane how much **** they have around there.

 

That bus reminds me of one that my old high school teacher and her husband were restoring to use as a motorhome. It was an old Flexible Flyer. Pretty similar in design. All aluminum construction, save for the frame and driveline. It had a 460 in it, put in sometime in the 70's. I was trying to talk him into a 6BT diesel for it, but he never did before they moved away. Pretty neat old bus. I've thought that restoring one for a RV would be fun.

Seymour - I run across a few old cars from time to time driving around west Texas. You lookin for something specific? I can keep my eyes open for ya...

 

Dang. I was hoping you'd found at least some of them around Calgary...

 

Haha. I know of a guy about 20-30 minutes from here who has a ****-load of old tin (like 80-90 cars ranging from the 1930's-1950's...), but he doesn't want me giving out any of his info.

 

A few more....All of these are in So. Jersey...

 

is that '57 convert for sale??

 

A few more....Still in So. Jersey...

 

That's unfortunate, but I can't say I blame him. I'd want to keep that under wraps too.

 

dont know if it's rare but its old. my first hotrod i got from my wife for my 30th. 1941 Studebaker Commander.

 

Yeah. Is there anything in particular you are looking for? I may be able to get a hold of him if he has a car you want. He's not really interested in selling, but you never know....

 

Not particularly, unless he has some 61-66 Ford truck stuff. That's my main focus right now.

 

More please.....
