Henry that's funny!!! I knew I couldn't have been the first on the HAMB to see them!

 

Cousin Vinnie's?

 

I spy a 4 door hardtop ford victoria I would like to have.
but Im sure its too far away and Im pretty sure I couldnt afford to build it even if I could afford to buy it, even if it were for sale.

Check my old thread out.

The one on the left is a '46 Ford: ribbed stainless, stainless around the windows and the strips on the decklid.

 

It's here to prevent soil erosion ! Along with 2 37-39 2 door sedans, a 46 2-door and some trucks!

 

I'm kind of in the same boat you're in except I'm in the part of that boat where I'm one of those guys who can't afford anything for now. I can barely afford to maintain and put gas in the appliances I drive.

 

This one is in rural Marion Co.

 

This grill shell just screams PACKARD!!

 

It does have a nice Packard look to it, this is a Buick for sure though.

I'm quite fond of these, I have a 25 shell hanging on one of my walls!

 

Here are a few in Illinois. Not sure what the sedan is.....Early 50's Chevy or Pontiac???? The truck cab is 1955 - 1959 Chevy / GMC and of course there is a T chassis..

 

Kind of looks like the one I found.

 

Good for you. I'm working on it's twin for a friend, redoing everything on the chassis, body won't be painted. Will be a driver, has 327 365 hp.

 

I hope it's better than the sweet heart I bought.

 

Not a car, but here is a working Bennett 966 gas pump that I found. I should be bringing it home shortly.

 

Good ol' Mike Yager, "Chief Cheerleader" of Mid America.... if you ever get a chance to go to his house in Effingham, IL, about 3 miles from MAM, do so.... I doubt you'll ever see another swimming pool shaped like a Chevy Bowtie...
Used to go there every summer to cover a VW event for the magazines... he'll have someone take you up in an airplane, to get the "aerial shot", buy you an awesome dinner...if you need it, he'll see that you get it. Quite a pleasant guy, to boot.... except if you take a Pro Stock VW with close to 300 hp, with slicks and a spool, for a "spin" around the front lawn of the Corporate Office... I offered to stay an extra day and replace the sod, but he said it was okay; he had a Landscape Maintenance Service that would take care of it for him/me.
His MY Garage ( MY for Mike Yager) is quite the place, too.

 

So I went up and picked up my auction stuff ya know,,,,,
Spent two days nipping stuff apart with the torch so the little wife and I could fit it all in the trailer in one trip. On the second day I herd this Dodge diesel coming down the drive to the back forty and pulled up in front of the forty ford. Didn't think much about it till I herd this loud ass "CRUNCH". I thought,, Oh-No,, He backed into that truck.
Hear I found out it was one of them ( DUMB ASS NO BRAIN FRICKIN SCRAPER DIP SHITS !!! ). You guys know who you are,,,,, Hear he wrapped a chain around the radiator,,, Hooked it to the back of his truck,, And gave it the boot. These guys,,,, I'm surprised they can live very long with there head so far up there fucking ass! Wow man,,,,
I'll get the hell off my soap box now. Man,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

 

What a dumbass! That truck looked to be in pretty decent condition.

 

Well, now it's on it's way to become a new honda.

 

Some from the weekend.

 

Yeah, Say hello to all the vintage tin that got scrapped last year.

 

I think the vintage steel is coming back as crappy harbor "fright" tools

 

BARF!

Is it just me or are cars getting FUGLIER every damned year.

 

No, you're right. Nondescript nerfballs on wheels.
Even the car ads are so bland. All they say is what kind of mileage it gets and what the payments are!
Man,I miss the 60's.....

 

Well,,,,, This stuff is staying in the good old USA.
And for all the Scrap Happy People out there,,, Good judgment comes from experience and allot of that comes from bad judgment,,,, Think before you scrap! ,,,,,,,,,,,, Please.

 

Dear Mr. Soviet, Sir,

Could you please send me that '26'27 Open Car cowl and doors?
I would very much appreciate it.
Heck, I'll even pay for the shipping.

Thank You,
26Tudor


PS thats a joke, but MAN you found some cool stuff !!!!

 

Kind of thogught this was a cool picture...
someone just sent it to me of a rusty
1963 FORD FAIRLANE SQUIRE station wagon in a field up North.
Kinda arty fartsy almost.

 

There is a Hamber dying to get that Fairlane Squire exterior trim! I tried to buy a car up here to strip for him but it's a no sale for now. If he sees this he will definitely be contacting you....I lost his contact info.

 

Quick note...
Pic is of one for sale I know about. RUSTY.
ratmotor:
I was following that "wanted" thread. don'y you remember, he then advertised it for sale because he couldn't get the trim. He sold it to another guy on here a few months ago in CA for $600.+-.

Keep trying to buy that one by you, though - I'd be interested if you ever get it for parts.

 

this is an old army commo truck at a salvage yard north of Duncan, Oklahoma.
