Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Man that Cadillac is SWEET!


This Dodge is sitting in "downtown " Ester Alaska.

 

My friend came across these the other day while project hunting in North Pole Alaska.

 

Two of my favorites .






And the last one....

 

caddie man ---i was worried about you till you sneaked in that rambler pic---great bunch of pics---thanks

 

You are the Caddy Guy!

 

Are you guys talking to me? If so Thanks.ha In Fairbanks Alaska I am known as That guy with the black Cadillac.With summer getting closer I should have alot more photos to share with you guys here..

 

That Nash wagon is the first one like it I ever saw. I didn't know Nash made one.

 

Didn't Clark Kent & Lois Lane used to drive around the Daily Planet in a similar Nash Wagon?

 

Man, I need the hood lip trim and the grille surrounds/front fender trim from this one.

Isn't that a cool roof line?

 

The Rambler wagons from 1953-55 used this same basic body, but only the 55s had the unskirted front wheels. 53/54 front wheels were skirted same as the rear.

 

Pulled this from under a tree this morning.

 

Sad case here , many of these were driven here. its been disappointing seeing them deteriorate over the last 25 yrs.







The '39 in the last pic used to be the pride and joy , still gets talked about like its still a great truck.

 

Cool - any guesses as to the make?

A lot of Ambassadors in that show, Clark had a Nash-Healey, and Lois Lane had a couple Rambler convertibles (they're still called "Lois Lane Ramblers" today), but the IMCDB listings show no wagons.

 

Thought I'd add these here, I took them 2 or 3 years ago...

These weren't so much 'found' but had been sitting here for many years,
the property they were on is about 45 mins North West of Melbourne.
The owner of the property had collected them over the time he lived
there, the mansion and land were up for sale and so a large auction/
clear out was held to remove everything that wasn't wanted.

Anyone who was interested was invited to attend, I went along,
unfortunately I didn't have any spare cash at the time to buy anything
but I did take some photos.

Whatever wasn't sold at the auction went to scrap, the property is now
completely cleared of cars, the mansion has new owners and is in the
process of being restored.

What you see in these photos wasn't even a quarter of what was there...

 

This is local to me...factory chopped and super cool.

 

What in the hell is growing on these cars?

 

I bet it would make you trip for days..............or kill you?

 

I was wondering the same thing ... what is that stuff??

 

It's a type of moss, if you leave a car sitting around as long as these have been, in
the right conditions (usually on swampy moist ground) it will grow all over the car.
Pretty common site here in Aust'.

 

Looks like Lichens (which are a form of fungus) to me, they can rust a car out pretty bad sometimes. I see that a lot in the wetter areas in North America as well.

 

Kinda ot, but I thought it was pretty cool

It's a pre 64, so I think it's okay.

 

I get that crap growing on cars sometimes around here. If you pick up a car that has it, remove it. It seems to want to grow on other cars. A pressure washer usually takes care of it.

That mansion is badass! I love abandoned houses. Just went through one last week and found a bunch of stuff from the 20's and 30's. Mostly unsent postcards and newpapers.

 

The mansion is called' Mintaro' and is a smaller scale 'replica' of Melbourne's Government House. Although it looks abandoned, it has actually always been lived in, just neglected. If you like abandoned stuff, maybe have a look at my photography blog (link in my signature).

Another from Melbourne, this one's obviously way, way too far gone to be saved but it'd make for a cool garden ornament? It sits alongside a busy South-Eastern freeway and only recently became visable due to a fire.

It's (was) an FB Holden ute, the only salvagable parts looked to be the tail light surrounds, it did make me wonder if there are any more cars sitting hidden in the bushland surrounding it. Only one way to find out...

 

what on earth is that fire truck in ester eddies pic? anybody know? that thing is crazy lookin.

 

I SO want this! (post 6962) Is it for sale?
