Re: Old Time Junk Yard Photos PIX 1920 to 1970
WingNutz, I remember reading about the yard you mentioned, man! There were no pix with the piece I read, but there was plenty of evidence it had been for REAL. Some companies, insisted on destroying rough mules & prototypes IN-house. Packard did that with anything they didn't want to see the light of day again.
I also remember some months ago seeing pix of what had been a "junkyard" used by Studebaker for experimentals they had no immediate use for any more. I'll try and find that site again. |

Re: Old Time Junk Yard Photos PIX 1920 to 1970
This is a classic abandoned-car pic, posted by Twin-6 over on another thread, but I HAD to include it here because of the fab content and composition. I wish we knw MORE about this car!

Re: Old Time Junk Yard Photos PIX 1920 to 1970
SunRoofCord-Jim, wow, that really IS a desert classic!
Whoa, man. Imminently restorable, too!!! As is, it is a visual masterpiece framed against the dry south- western backdrop. Holy-moley, this car is 85 years old -- and not beyond rescue! Kojack said at the top of this page that these yards do make him sad. But this Peer- less is WHY this thread lifts the optimists among us up! THANKS for posting this. I want to go spend some time on the whole thread you linked, buddy! |

Re: Old Time Junk Yard Photos PIX 1920 to 1970
T-Head and Twin Six are pretty sure the car in Post 727 was a specialized Locomobile, extended WB to suit some car lover's ego. Looks like immediate pre-WWI to my untrained eye, but it's still one keen and unique car! Twin said he suspects the pic was taken in the '50s. Any help out in HAMBland?

 Hard to read because of being resized, but it says "Whitman Uranium Inc Robinson, ND"

Thanks or those artful pix, AntiBling! If Ansel Adams had been into this subject at all, HE could have shot stuff like those first five you posted.

Re: Old Time Junk Yard Photos PIX 1920 to 1970
We have a bit more on this cool shot now.
This photo reeks with nostalgia and makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. But there's no imbedded info, and no one seems to know many hard facts about the pic, though one HAMBer thinks it may have been shot in the '50s. It's not so much a junkyard shot -- more like a barn find, it seems. T-Head and Twin 6 over on the pre-WWII thread figured this for a Locomobile (about WWI era, I'd say). Tee said the wheelbase would have started at about a whopping 142 BUT was extended as much as a foot by someone who wanted to have the longest speedster in town! As is, this roadster would have been pretty much a factory hotrod, as Locos of the era offered two butt-kicking mills. I'm wagging this for a 1915 Model 48, Series M5 with a massive 525-CID T-head engine of 5.5" stroke cranking 49 horses, backed by a four-speed. Coupled to a 3.5-to-1 differential, this should have been a pretty peppy machine 85 years ago! Yow, wish there was more info on this car AND what became of it! Any help in HAMBland??? |
