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

Guy across the street from my folks had a Dodge truck, similar vintage that sat so long, not only did the oak bed rot off, but there were saplings growing up through it. I can't remember if it had a hemi in it or not.

Some more rusty iron, sitting out back of Casa de Fruita. They have quite a pile of old trucks and tractors.

 

More from the same lot:

 

All the following photos are Alamogordo, NM 914, NFS...

Wow! that Kaiser has a set of Cruiserline Ventiports!
Maybe they had a license from Buick?

 

Wow! This old F-1 looks really solid. I wouldn't mind having this one.

 

Here's an old truck
I read the name on it about a year ago when I took the pic, but it escapes me now

 

*sad* memories...

Back in 1989 I sold one prettier'n that with my Edsel's cracked 223 engine in it for $100.

I'd actually got two Ford pickups (a running '57 & a '59 without engine) in trade for a motorcycle I'd been riding to work. The '57 was a pile of rust and mold, except the running gear, which I saved.

I'd only paid $50 for the bike, as the bike's PO had put the slides in the wrong carbs (thus facing them backwards) & the poor idiot couldn't start it! His loss, my gain...

The tired '57 223 truck engine wound up in my '59 Edsel, and she ran for another 20,000 without smoking much. (Thanks to STP) so I came out OK on the deal, but I sure would like that '59 truck back.

 

I have to say that at least 'Mater's teeth don't seem to be rotting

 

And a complete, but very "rotting" Hudson Hornet

 

Wow! That Hornet's sure taken a step down...

 

Olds Dad...can you tell me where this Hudson is located? Thanks.

been watching/looking at this Studebaker for awhile.....now.....to the right the property line marker and look just over the seat.....

 

you can barely make out the left side of the truck from the road because of the trees....

 

they are building something big on the tractor side.....wonder how long the scap will last.....v/8 three on the tree truck.....reaaaally ruff....

 

I have my grandpas old Stude Champ pickup. Cool truck. Yes, that one ^^^^^^is rough.

 

Now that is sitting and rotting!

 

See this truck every time I go to Key West. It's at B. O.'s fishwagon. Good place to eat if you're ever down there. And yeah, the inside of the place looks just like the outside....

 

Saw this cool little '62 uni-body short bed at the U Pull It yesterday. Could probably be bought, but I forgot to ask about it. It is a little rusty though.

 

I would think that the Chev coupe shown in second photo would be more HAMB related..

 

That pic of the lake looks like Tar pits.
