Art & Inspiration Junk Yard Photo's

Another Deuce waiting. HRP

 

20 year old photo

 

What's your point?,I was unaware there is a time limit for a picture. HRP

 

There's a 9" sitting in front of the red '59 Edsel. F Y I, the '58-'59 Edsels had the narrow 9" rearends found in '57-'59 Fords, slightly different gear ratios. My Edsel find had a 3:42 pumpkin under it. Swapped that chunk for a 2:92 at a local junkyard.

 

O.M.G. Please tell me you photo-shopped that 3-window into the picture. Holy **** ! ! !

 

I would love to go there!

This yard was full of Studebakers all went to the crushers in the early 70's. I still cry myself to sleep.

 

Took this of the famous Horopito Wreckers in New Zealand back in 1980, its still operating and a lot of whats in this pic is still there but a lot rougher now days. JW

 

Horopito again. JW

 

A more recent shot of the pic above but looking the other way. A lot of English stuff in here. JW

 

Another old New Zealand yard that belonged to a good friend. He died recently and now in the hands of his son. The Council wants it gone, the pic was taken in the late 70's and a lot of it is still there. The Panel truck in the middle is a 40 Ford COE. JW

 

Maybe because they are places where you can dream and still have your eyes open!

 

Wow! Some Mopars too!

Don't know what he meant by "20 year old photo." But, geez, that's got to be at least 60 years old. When was the last time he saw a fairly complete Deuce coupe in a junkyard? Only one bullet hole, too!

 

Junkyards in Milwaukee,Wisconsin

 

French lake auto this is a very impressive well structured yard, well museum really, though the salt roads up there in MN haven't been kind . Its awesome to take in the brands and models all in rows.. Don't ya love the fibre gl*** repair on the coronet. Imagine the pain splashing resin up under the wheel wheel never mind the eyes and skin as gravity took control.

 

pint sized edition;

Another old NZ yard. I took this pic in the early 80's, when it had a big clearance auction. I wish I took a wider shot of the yard. JW

 

Another angle. JW

 

Going to the bone yard for me is like going to the local barber shop on a Saturday. The locals gather and there are many stories to be heard. "I'll have my usual flattop, please."

 

Great pix...thanks for starting this HRP !
