Just stumbled across this, need to share with our neighbors!

Hi,

No, the brown one to the right of it of course. I am aware that is a 404 as I own one myself, the same color.


Check out this original Auto Union ! (Audi) I bet there are fewer than a hundred remaining in the world.

Thank you for sharing all of these photos, I had not seen most of them before. Are you in any way able to visit this yard by chance? I would pay a premium for several parts of that post-war 170V in the middle there for my pre-war one. Thanks !

 

SAVE THE BEETLES...Especially the split windows!!!

 

The Autofriedhof (car cemetery) is an extraordinary collection of rotting cars, dumped by a spare parts salesman on land behind his workshops since the 1930s in Kaufdorf, between Thun and Bern. The cars, in varying stages of decomposition, have remained untouched since they were abandoned in the woods and are now mainly collapsed hulks. The range of cars is fantastic: from Minis and Peugeots to old Chevrolets, Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Rileys and Jaguars from the 1950s and earlier.

 

AHHH man!! I want that split window VW. They are really cute little cars.

 

Situated in Kaufdorf, Switzerland exists a peaceful junkyard, holding over 500 cl***ic machines hailing from the 1930s through the 1960s. The government wants it paved but locals want to preserve this history. Mega gallery inside.
Legend has it a car dealer, buying cars for parts, couldn't bring himself to s**** these beauties and began parking them in his yard. The dealer retired in the 70s, p***ing the business on to his son, who left the cars untouched. This scenic farm land location can be seen here.
As is the common plight of every forest junkyard, the Swiss government says the grounds must be cleared, paved and sealed to prevent fluids from seeping into the ground. Local crusader Heinrich Gartentor says rare trees and moss will be destroyed if the car graveyard is cleared, not to mention all of the steep automotive history that will be lost in the process.
The cars are agreeably too far gone for restoration, but the collection is arguably more thorough than most car museums. The current owner of the yard agrees to pave the area holding newer models, but refuses to disturb the vintage iron. We say keep fighting the good fight!
