They're Still Out There. . .

Here's a few pics of some cool cars we ran across on a recent "road trip". Just goes to show there are plenty of neat projects still out there. . .just don't know for how long!

Let me know if you want to see more. . .I've got over 400 photos.

Enjoy!!

 

Now that's my kind of roadtrip.
I don't know why, but sometimes I enjoy seeing rusted cars in the woods more than a restored one on the street (or on the trailer).
Thanks for posting, looks like a fun time.

 

Cool! Now that's what I call a bone yard. Where in the hell is this place?

 

The Packard convertible is the prize among that batch of cars. I don't know if the big pallet or whatever that is on it's roof is helping much but that would be a great car if restored.

 

Same here! And I don't know why either...just looks cool I guess....

 

Thanks for posting - I love that Hudson, and that Packard would be amazing fixed up.

As far as seeing cars rusting in peace like this... I like it too and tend to tip-toe and breathe a little quieter, kind of like when I'm strolling through a graveyard. It's a weird respect thing I guess.

 

That Studey wagon is one rare one...and I like Studey's...too bad I got too many other wagon projects right now...

R-

 

i do agree, i love seeing cars like that .I love looking into fields and back yards or old farms....The hudson would be fun to restore or get it driving.

 

Thanks for the response. . .thirsty for more? Here's some more from the same place!! Kinda makes you feel reverence when places like this disappear, and "rock hard" when you still find one still in existance!!

 

Awsome, thanks for posting. I especially like seeing OLD old stuff (like the C-cab) in the wild.

 

Oh man, I want that first Plymouth! And one of the later posted ones as a parts car.

 

Thanks for posting. Love seeing pictures like this.

 

What the heck. . .here's some more!!



WANTED: '39-'41 DeSoto inside window cranks and door handles with Ivory-colored inserts and knob

 

Now thats my kind of road trip! I took one last year to Nebraska to load up a 27 Dodge Bro's 5 window and the guy had a similar set up, but not near as vast as this. I would love to just walk the hallowed grounds for fun!

....where did you say this place was agian?....

 

I'm surprised nobody's asked if they were for sale!!
And yes we'd like to see more pix.

 

Definitely agree with this phrase. Also just to have your imagination going of what you could do with it if they were in your garage.

Thanks for the pics, please post more.

 

and the studebaker wagon, WOW that thing is legit!!! and ive been looking for a wagon to build to cruise shows across the country.



"post all the pics you got, there just neat to look at!"

 

some very cool stuff in those pics , so was it a running yard were they availible whole? or just parts? or was it some guys private stash that hes gonna restore someday?

 

I thought I spied "sold" written on more than one...

 

Lots of projects to keep us all busy!

 

Might as well finish this out for you guys. . .hope it wasn't too boring!!

 

I'd buy that C-Cab and the Durant grille shell in a heartbeat.

 

Nope, not bored at all! I just keep missing the post about the LOCATION...

 

"gonna fix em up someday..."

 

He's just teasing us...

 

Where are they? Is the C cab for sale?

That 52 Studebaker hardtop is pretty rare.

 

Man, that 58 Buick looks like a little air in the tires and a jump start would be all it needed to drive out of there.

 

Yep like all the stuckup girls in high school Tease! Tease! Tease!!!!!!!!

 

Very Sweet, Thanks for the photo's!

 

Yeah, they can be bought, but right now, if I told ya where they were at, I'd have to kill ya' (LOL). The reason for the For Sale and Sold markings is that this guy bought a lot at farm auctions.

A PARTING SHOT. . .

Hey, does anyone from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota remember Headid Park in Sioux City. . .scrapped out in the late '70s/early '80s by a company from Omaha who won the bid on 3,000 pre-'60 vehicles. Word I got at the time was that the place had been abandoned since the '60s and became city property for back taxes. They took bids and contracted the salvage guy to bring in a portable crusher. We talked to that guy while he was crushin' stuff and it would have made ya sick to see some of the NICE stuff that they crushed!!
