    SWEET MOTHER MCCREE, lookit all the Buicks!!! >facedesk< :eek:

    Please please please...if anyone's heading out there any time soon, I could REALLY use these:

    [​IMG]

    A set of 1949 Buick front fender/marker lights and spear trim. The one above looks like it's in great shape, any chance the left one is just as nice, or that there's a left-side one in the same shape on another '49 in all that gold?

    If the yard owner is willing to have those pieces parted out and wants say, $30-40 for each light with trim? I'll pay for the parts, shipping to FL, and a reasonable amount for your time to pull the parts cleanly!

    Why aren't there places like this in Florida? >cry...<

    The one on the other side is busted, but there are a few 49's there. I'm going back next week and when I do, I'll see what I can find for you and see what he wants for the parts.

    Wow, I wish that was near me. I'd pay the guy just to let me walk that yard for stress relief. So many cool cars and parts to look at.

    Scrolling through those pics is like walking through a cemetery. Something sort of spooky about it. I only saw one Studebaker, a '56 or '57 the whole thing was not in the picture. I think it was a two door post. That could be a really cool car.

    Well, I made the trip back down to this place today and took 181 more pics. I still didn't get pics of everything, but most of it. I also have contact info for those who wanted it. I don't know if the guy that owns this place will ship parts or not and I don't know if you'd want regular guys in that yard pulling parts off these old cars. If anyone strikes a deal and needs someone to pull parts, I can gather a list and make a trip down there for you all - just help with my fuel and a little bit of time. It's about 110 miles round trip for me.

    I'm going to try to put up all these new pics onto my photobucket account tonight.

    I'll PM those who asked for contact information for this place tonight when I get back on.
