Wisconsin Junk-Yard Pics

just enjoy the pics, the owner was not very nice, he would just get pissed when I asked about parts/prices

 

Where is that?

 

i wished you guys wouldn't come on my property while i'm passed out.

 

that 46 chev is the shizzle!!!!

 

Those two Deco trucks are cool. but my favorite is that Maytag Studebaker truck.

 

where is the yard?

 

I want the Vega, the Maverick and the jap trucks. I'm willing to pay up to 9 cents per hundred weight.

 

Note that the car with the '40 Ford Deluxe front clip on it is actually a '39 Deluxe as indicated by the roll-out windshield--'39 being last year for that feature. Maybe it got wrecked in front and they put a '40 front clip on it, or they changed it just for the sake of changing it. Looks like that poor little '37 Ford pickup spent a few years lying on its right side judging by where it's rusted out. Unusual spot for one to rust through otherwise.

 

The problem I find with the yards in Wisconsin that I have found is the owners are usually half senile old coots who think their rusty hulks are worth a fortune even though they've been sitting out in the elements, sinking into the dirt for the last two decade. These dopes don't seem to realize that even though there yards are off road there still is a lot of salt that floats all over the place and still attacks the crap they have in their yards. They'll watch the tin disintegrate into the ground rather than sell it for a reasonable price.

I still would like to know where this place is, if for nothing else to save me time by knowing not to go there.

 

Wow! Diggin the '58 Edsel.

 

Really though. How hard could it be to find this place. Its not like Wisconsin is a very big state. Just rent a chopper and buzz the state. Not like its Texas or Cali or something.

 

Wow, cool! A red Vega wagon with woodgrain! And a '54 Ranchero with bed-side doors! I want those! No, I don't.

Someone sure was pissed at that '50 Chevy, I'd say, everything you could smash on it's been smashed - clock, radio, glass, visor, hood, roof, even the horn ring and button.

 

not a bad looking yard where is it located?

 

Come on, you gotta say where

 

Been there --- Its a full day trip goin thru that yard. If I remember right those Edsels are WA state cars. I almost bought that 54 "ranchero" about 8 yrs ago before it was in that yard.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics! Gotta share the location!

 

that looks like a pretty good sized yard, how many cars,..where's it at?

 

Some good stuff there, I like that '58 Edsel Ranger, doesn't look too bad.

So nothing is for sale? Or the guy is just cranky? There's gotta be a way to buy some of this shit. Not much as far as projects go but lots of good parts.

 

sorry about all the non HAMB cars, it was just easier to upload all my pics.
I really don't remember what town the yard was in, I'm sure my dad does and will post it.

 

What kind of cars are they? What make and model are they?

 

I think the first one is a 36? Chevy the second one is a 38 Chevy tractor

 

i dig finding old wrecking yards like these, u can just spend forever checking shit out.

 

Isnt this a Nash Metro wagon?

 

i could walk around that place for hours and not get bored

 

I love the Nash. But was there any rust on it??
