    I went on another old vehicle spotting safari last fall. I took a lot of photos at one 80 acre farmyard in Southern Alberta.

    Enjoy!

    PS: Before you ask, yes, everything can be had for the right price. No, I'm not the seller but I do know him.

  5. The green 1950 Buick Roadmaster convertible (image 1620) still has all the nice convertible parts.
    Save it.
    The black Imperial looks like it still has it's Hemi inside.

    Great place

    What "Dutch Deuce" said. The ´50 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is another one of those cars that are tough to find anywhere, in any kind of shape anymore. Stripped as this one may appear, it still has all it´s convertible-spec bits on it, and everything that is missing, should be a direct fit from the right, similar-year 4dr donor vehicle.

    Surely an interesting place and collection. Thanks for posting.

    I liked the repair on that cracked head. Must have worked though.

    Wow! Just looked at the Fords, 50 Meteor grille worth more than the asking price, 58 Rideau looked complete extremely rare pieces on it, and not only for sale but affordable.

    To everything?!

    Which one are you interested in? I can talk to my Dad. He and Gary have known each other since grade school.

    By the way, I'm amazed that anyone recognized this place.

    I think you might be right. I've found him very easy to talk to but most others not so much.

    I know that he would trade you for something interesting before he would sell you something for cash. Weird.

    He's absolutely gaga for Chryslers though.

    Once he realizes that his dream is over then maybe he'll release his clenched fist on his stuff.

    I believe that it's a 53 Chrysler Windsor and it is a parade vehicle. My dad said that he saw it in Lethbridge when he was a teenager.

    I took a look under it and it's wacky. There's another Chrysler Windsor frame with two foot stilts up to the original frame.

    The steering column is super long as well as the drive shaft for obvious reasons.

    One of the small rear wrap around window panes is smashed out. That window probably is a zillion dollars if you could find it.
