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

1958 Buick Cabellaro Wagon. Cabellaro Wagons were only built in 1957 and 1958. There were fewer '58s built then '57's

Here's a '58 Cabellaro in Denmark.

Very nice! Thanks for the info.

 

Here are some shots that I took. The fire trucks in the woods belong to myself and a friend of mine. The 1926 American LaFrance under a collapsed building is one that we were able to save. The poor little pedal car was squished under the building when the roof collapsed on it during hurricane Ike several years ago. I saved it too.

 

In full trim they are every bit as good looking as a Nomad.

 

I know Oldsmobile and Buick made the 4 door hardtop wagons but did Pontiac make one as well?

 

Nope, 'cause Pontiac shared body shell with Chevy, not Olds/Buick.

 

these aren't as bad as the posted earlier,but at least i got him NOT to scrap em,{for now}i'm planning on going up & take better pictures this weekend,i gotta call about another 60-80 old cars,
someone loan me some $$$$

 

That Merc woody needs to be saved!!

 

Nope, Pontiac never made one. Only GM 4 Door Hardtop Wagons were Buick Cabellaro and Oldsmobile Fiesta. They were 1957 and 1958 only. Sorry, I didn't see Froghhawk's post till after I posted this.

 

Is that a pair of Handymans? ALWAYS wanted one... and Mrs. Yankee and I were just talking about how we'd love to live in CO someday (toured 17 cities in Up with People in '86, including Greeley)

 

I second this motion.

 

he's say's he know what it's worth & wasn't gonna crush it??

i was thinking they were,i want another wagon,i sold my last 55 pontiac wagon acouple years ago waaayyyy to cheap,

i'll have to take better/ more pictures!

 

Some from yesterday.

Burned up '64 Impala SS




Dodge Power Wagon



Did they make these in automatics? Has a big shifter hooked to an auto, and it doesn't look like it ever had a clutch pedal.



Corvair



And maybe a little too OT Buick...



But it does still have it's finned aluminum brakes in the front.

 

What kind of shape is the '33 Ford Tudor in??? Any more pics of it?

 

When I was in high school (1972) there was a 57 Chevy sitting in this guys yard ,wouldn't sell it. It still sitting there pretty cool car though it lowered itself. Still not for sale & the guy died now his son says he's going to fix it some day & he's older then me! Not going to happen.

 

Yes, but they used a typewriter similar to the cars at the time:

 

JESUS! Someone KILL this thread!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!



This thread is like a train wreck. You dont want to watch, but you do anyways.

I tell myself never to look here again. And yet... here I am... fuckin nauseous once again.

Ugh...

 

Im gonna go hug my '53 and tell it it never has to move out. It can live safely at home for as long as it wants...

 

Found these the other day, so I took my dad and brother to see them and the whole time they are peeking through the fence a guy was staring us down from across the street. I thought for sure any minute we were going to get the "get the Hell out!" speech. Instead nothing happened until we started leaving. The guy waves us over and the first thing out of his mouth was "What you wanna buy?" Apparently there are some Alfa guiliettas, Mustang fastback, 55-57 T-birds, more jags, olds 442 conv. and more stashed in there. There were a resto shop that went out of business, sold their shop and moved everything that was inside, to this outside lot many many years ago. now they are just rotting.

 

found this over at Station Wagon Forums

 

reminds me of the knight rider episode when the guys finds kits evil brother at the beach his name was carr

 

WAIT!! Thats exactly what happened to all the old iron in this thread!

 

Good One LOL

 

Aww, damn it! Too late! hahaha

 

Those Jaguars sitting makes me want to cry.....especially the XK140/XK150 roadster.

 

The Rockpile Deuce. I have tried for years to buy this with no luck at all.

 

How much for the Nash in the lower corner?

 

(Obvious "Off topic" stuff aside)

Wow, there is no god... I'd give my left nut to own any of those...
Yet they just sit there.
Im really starting to hate the words "gunna fix it up one day"

Here are a few more near my dads farm

 

Anyone into muscle is already manhood compensating. Might want to keep your junk intact.
