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

My old auto mechanic's teacher found out about my new '57 Chevy wagon project , and told me of one he parted out on his mother's property years ago , it was still there , and anything I want for the taking is mine , along with a A Corvair Monza (not pictured) and BIG ASS late 60's Oldsmobile ninety-eight

 

i dig junk.

 

Where is THIS place at?

 

Hey Dog427435, This photography you do must be a hobby or you are a professional photographer! Most of the shots are fantastic works of art imho! You should do some calenders, maybe one for '20s-30s, one 40s-50s, a tri 5 calender and a Corvette calender. I would definately buy some! Looking at all these rusty wrecks really makes me appreciate what good condition my newest project is in...

 

...........1949 Fleetline..............

 

I have the exact car in my neighborhood .. Its been sitting for 15 yrs.. shame !

 

Hope somebody snagged this........

 

1st car the Stude coupe that got my attention

that was a blast clickin through the cool cars

then seeing the stuff at French Lake drug many cars out of there, pack a lunch 100 acres of iron

 

Save this 57, looks more solid than the stuff around here.

 

Its actually a 56. Its one of mine sitting and rotting in the woods.It might look savable,but there is nothing left of the floors,trunk,rockers.I was keeping it for parts in case I wanted to use it to convert a 4 door to a 2 door some day.

 

these really pain me.

 

Wow! I wonder what the story with those is.

 

have you even stopped to ask ??????

 

the holy grail of studebakers just goin to shit!!!

 

Yeah. got the old gonna fix em up someday reply. I had gone by this place about 5 years ago and first saw them. these pics were taken about 1 month ago... sad. but wait, there's more.

 

Thank you, though I’ve had a camera around my neck for the last 50 years I can’t claim ownership to all the pictures I post!
Besides always taking shot’s, I’m a collector also. I get pictures from estate sales, garage sales, flea markets, etc and off the net.
I enjoy sharing my collection and would like to also thank the numerous other photographers whose work I post!

 

Here's a cool Hudson sitting and rotting away at a yard 2 miles from my house. Been there as long as I can remember. It can probably be had for a 6-pack of beer, but it's pretty far gone. Certainly beyond my skills to bring her back to life.

 

Not trying to be a rap star here but, DAMN DOG, Where did all these pics come from ?? You ?? Awsome thread for sure .......

 

Just a small glimpse of the forgotten section of the junkyard.

 

You better jump on that VW roof Rack, that thing will bring big money to the right guy!!!

 

OOOOOHHHH, I need the luggage rack and 'spoiler' in the 4th pic of post 1071!!! That stuff for sale?

 

Jump on the whole bug, it looks pretty tidy

 

lots of stuff here

 

Ill throw one in I found the other day.....its in a storage yard and it looks like it has been there forever....wonder how in a mini-storage yard you track down the owner

 

My '56 F250 as it was when I got it. That was before the unfortunate bulldozer incident.

 

Hi! Mostly a lurker here, but I enjoy reading the forums.

These belonged to a relative, currently resting behind the family home. I remember riding in the Merc woody as late as 1965.

 

Here's mine- for sale too.
She's been under the tarp since '86. Starting to get things back in shape (baby steps).

 

Seriously, where is this!?!?!

Looks like a '54 Caddy Flower Car. I've been trying to get an old flower car for years. Had a '47 slip through my fingers. Wound up with a '47 Series 62 saved out of an old welding shop though. Had been sitting there for about 15 years.

 

Look like it's been there for a while
