Projects what a shame !!!!

these are just south of crawfordville fl.

 

Looks like cancer has taken hold alright.

 

Atleast they havent been turned into rat rods, now stop whinning about them and start fixing them!!

 

If every old car made it, anyone could do it.

 

they're in an open field next to a well traveled road,no houses and every so often someone ads a new car or truck....

 

too bad they don't add a couple thousand Priuses

 

A couple years ago here in Maine a family cleared its land of the father's collection after he p***ed away. There were three yards with about 200 vehicles each with cars and trucks from the 1930s to the early 1960s. All but a few went to the crusher.

 

...At least the "Crusher" has'nt got them yet

 

Possibly an individual's heroic effort of saving them from being s****ped? Possibly someone who has been buying them from a s****per rather than see him turn them in for s**** weight.

For FL. they look very rusty(?) The 40/41 looks like it was underwater.

What's the truck in the middle of the row with the funky rounded nose/bumper?

 

That Florida salt air and humidity takes its toll on vehicles left out to the elements. I used to look for old cars years ago when visiting my grandmother down there and they all seemed to have corrosion problems if they had been down there long. Those look like they are not worth the effort anymore.

 

Even in that state, I bet there's still some usable parts on them.

For instance, I know that any interior trim piece from a 40 Ford is worth saving.

 

If you find the owner it will be the same I am going to restore them some day.

 

When we moved to No. Carolina from Pa I was thrilled to see lots of nice, rustfree old cars, so I figured when we moved to Florida it would be the same. Not so. The humidity here and so many rainy days takes it's toll, even if you are not near the salt air areas. It is very hard to find old cars here that don't look like the ones pictured.

Those do seem to have some good savable parts though, and if they just keep "showing up" there you can bet it isn't by accident. Someone is putting them there on purpose, possibly trying to save them from the crusher.

I hate to see pictures like that of cars that once were so nice.

All cars need care takers to maintain them and keep them in working order in the same way they we all are really just care takers of our homes because some day someone else will own them.

Just the thoughts of an old man. Jimbo

 

REO truck

 

My ol 58 got parked in a chicken house and that was bad news for it. All that amonia killed the under side of it.
