if those guys only knew the future value of the stuff they crashed and smashed. didn't matter much then.
When I was young those old junk yards were near every town in the midwest and on farms. Many cars had nothing wrong except maybe a bad starter or a worn out engine. Also I still remember when I was very young going to the small city airport in central Illinois and watching "Lucky Lee Lot" and his Hell Drivers perform many times. I can still see them in old 30's and 40's cars going off a single wheel ramp and driving a long distance on two wheels, going through a wall of fire, and those other tricks. After retiring to Florida I remember around 1995 going past a farm with a car or two with Lucky Lee Lot on the side. I beleive they were yellow Hudsons but not sure. Seems there were Lot's in real estate or politics too down here. Be fun to meet some of them to see if they are relatives. This was somewhere near Brooksville maybe.
Just like the demo derbys and roundy rounds do today! They think station wagons and large sedans are going to last forever so buy them and crash them. No different than in the 30's!
Would they really still be just as valuable or would the market be saturated? I think if they made as many 32's as they did model T's they would be a lot cheaper....I'm hoping someday to find that parallel universe...
i wonder if that nascar wreck was the inspiration for the cop car scene in the original blues brothers movie!
