Hot Rods Stuff We Find on the Side of the Road? Salesmen Stand and be counted!

I am a traveling sales guy, (no jokes please) I drive the Highways and byways in Ohio-Kentucky and Indiana, while in Indiana yesterday I saw a few things that got me wondering, what do you guys see while working, you Plumbers, Carpenters, Linemen and us guys that don't sit behind a desk or report to the same factory job day in and day out, we see some wild stuff, lets see your photos, stand and be counted!

The weeds were growing from the INSIDE OUT!!!




Neat ol' Legend truck


Show us what YOU see.....

 

That's not the kind of weed I'd expect to see sprouting from inside an elcamino!

 

How many pix do you want of squashed Kangaroos???????

 

Here are a few. I'm out on a 3 week trip in a early October so I'll snap some more then. These ones are quite local actually.

 

I see a for sale sign on this one, someone needs to save it!

 

I'm working on it!

 

It's just a modern mini race car, body made from flat sheet powered by a motorcycle engine. Nothing old or trad about it....other than the flat black and red wheels.

 

I wish I had carried a camera with me when I went 'Out Bush' on exercise with the Army. I was blown away by the places we found cars more than what they were, most were beyond identification but you would find a single car 300km from the nearest road or building. They always made me wonder about the story of how they came to be there.

I never found a stash of anything worth going back for, hell the stuff I found I wouldn't drag out of the vacant block next door!

Doc.

Just showing what I see out here...

 

That is how my son found my 53 Ford 2 dr 1 owner in a old car port N Mo.

 

Bozo the el camino?

Roadside art near Lake Okeechobee.

 

I'm sorry -

 

found this today, not traditional, but still mighty cool

 

I found these in Western Arkansas. They were near Hot Springs. Several hours later, the crankshaft on my flathead broke and my cross country drive was OVER!

 

Old green Austin A50/55 looks good from that distance.

 

See it all the time in rural Ohio sales run. I am always pulling over to " take a look "

 

I've seen Mexicans fighting on the side of the highway over a ladder that fell off a truck.

yea, but i give location and phone numbers for stuff I see for sale, in the hopes, some of you, go buy the stuff and save it...sitting and rotting...not the same, see that **** all the time, who cares, can't be bought....

 

found this right above Richmond, IN on Rt 35....

 

I'm a mobile service tech. I stop and ask about stuff all the time. Saw this gem behind a house in the alley. Stopped and talked to the lady that owned it. Bought it for $750 later that day. Runs and drives. Was just sitting out back wasting away and now its on its way to a new future as a band wagon for me and the guys.

 

"Nothing old or trad about it....other than the flat black and red wheels.".........Hehehehe............ <!-- / message -->

 

Friend of Mine is a train engineer, he sees great stuff sitting from the tracks view. toruble is finding it by street later on. We've been doing some Google Earth lately to try and locate the same spots, but 60mph in a train looks different than up close.

 

yep I deal in natural gas and am out all day on the road checking meters and settings and I have 3 pages of addresses and cars types from my adventures around oklahoma...ill dig up some pics for ya.....I love this time of year as well with winter time you can see further in back of the yards and barns for those forgoten 30's and 40's and 50,s gems

 

I've heard a few stories about cars seen from trains. Never had any luck, but it's amazing where old cars end up. How the hell did they get there? No roads or driveways for miles.

 

my all time favorite

 

Me likey the 60 F-100.. hey wrap that up and send it to me postage paid..
