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.

Looking at all these rusty wrecks really makes me appreciate what good condition my newest project is in...

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.

outcast13 · 09-09-2010, 07:29 PM

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.

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

Ojimy · 09-09-2010, 11:29 PM

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.

Spoggie · 09-09-2010, 11:39 PM

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

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.
