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

If you find old iron tell others so it can be saved cause like it's been said once there gone , there gone forever. If only we could have saved all the great cars and trucks we collectively have seen in fields, ravines, over cliffs etc wow would they have added up!

 

That's right people, don't keep it a secret like it's your own personal stash, that's how they suddenly end up scrapped...

 

That is just being a hoarder without owning the cars......lol.

 

Wow I sure hope those coupes were saved!! Looks like it would take a chain saw to get them out.

 

how about a couple of caddies?

 

I was going to save this old field car, but I didnt have the heart to chainsaw that beautiful tree.......

 

I wood........car in the shop, wood in the stove in the shop, win, win.

 

That is one artistic photo...very nice!

 

It'd be work but....remove the front sheetmetal (it'll come off as one huge piece), then CAREFULLY cut out the crossmember and you've got it....with the tree intact.

I'd probably just cut the tree down though...it's probably less than 30 years old....think of it as a 1982 Volvo or something.

 

That's a Nomad; you should've at least gotten the trim off it and sell it to someone that could use it...

 

Here are some from my neck of the woods ...

Low laying areas eat cars ...

 

I just did a tour through a 100 car collection yesterday of cars from 30s-60s. The owner also has another 100 car lot that used to be 1000, but he scrapped 900!!! He is selling and has already sold some including a solid '50 Roadmaster Riviera. My friend and I are planning on getting atleast a '50 Olds Rocket 88 sedan and '56 Stude Parkview wagon. I will try to get some pics up this week.

 

Wow Mastergun1980 that one picture of the 1956 Ford f-100 looks like a custom cab big rear window very rare truck, I own one just like it ( my avatar). Some one save that truck please!

 

It's a good thing most of these are too far away for me to get, otherwise I'd be digging them out and bringing them home just for the hell of it. More pics!!!!!!!

 

Just about a month a go i was in my buddys plane scouting old cars in my erea and found a 50 merc so i sent them a letter with my card and a note saying i woud be interested in the mercury in the back yard they wrote back saying not for sale they will build it someday. I talked to the neighbor who tod me its been there for 20 years in the same spot

 

et me know where its at ill cut the tree down quick as , Well you know...

 

For some reason this thread makes me feel like I should own an old Cadillac.

Some stuff sitting in a local back yard and in a old pig barn. The primered sedan is a 1928 Pierce Arrow Formal Sedan. The Make dump still gets used

 

Sorry, one of my 6 sneaked in. Under the piles of junk are 2 more Pierces

 

a few more...

 

There's some Chevy stuff in that 2nd pic ('26-'27 block and wire wheel)!

 

Notice the back of the cab in the 2nd pic....small window!
I thought it was a BW by the looks of the 1st pic too. Thankfully, it's not!

 

nice little hiding spot you got.

 

I just keep thinking of all the work I wouldn't do to some of these cars hahaahaha

 

took these today across the road behind a farm pole barn
