Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Willys Knight.....

 

The Willys-Knight looks like somebody shortened the frame on it to make a tractor out of it. Back in the day, you could buy kits to make tractors out of Model T and A Fords.. I think somebody did it with a W-K.

 

Pictures of a few cars my dad had. Long gone now.
Good memories!

 

And another day in the yard!

 

Bet that Vicky is one you won,t ever forget. Not many can say they had one .

 

Came across what’s left of this tudor...

Hope you were allowed to take it home.^

 

Interesting rear window. Is that a Studebaker?

 

That couldn't be a truer statement!

 

The 34 chevy sedan delivery too! The Vicky was called the chicken coupe because that is what it was before dad got it. It took dad a while to get it because they were still using it.

 

How about a slightly rusty '64 Corvair Greenbrier van? It might a little effort to get her back on the road again n...

 

Damn Jay T, some really good stuff in that spot. Are those cars available for parts picking? Those Pontiac hardtop beltline moldings bring really good money since they fit on a Chevy, and that '56 Belair 2 door sedan is a perfect donor for a 4 door conversion, those B posts and doors would be well worth cutting out. Merc wagon has a lot of parts to give, and it looks like the '59 Merc had Astro slots on it! That place is a real find.

 

Found these today The Buick is rusted out but has a nice grille. 53 ford had a sign inside it $3000 .No info on truck ,missing motor and trans stock rear end

 

Took those pictures Saturday at Junior’s yard in West Greenwich. He sells parts but he’s a little pricey. Lots of New England hambers have probably been there

 

The yard behind the yard at work.

 

yabba dabba do!

 

I don't think that one fits in our HAMB time frame....

 

First broadcast was Sept. 1960. Yeah, they fit.

 

Rotting in Alabama.

The Alabama custom above is really neat, I recognize a lot of pieces of it but I have no idea what they started with. Really wild, a shame to see it so degraded.

 

1949 Ford, still has stock trunk hinges. '47 Ford rear window and probably top. '57 Buick grille, '56 Ford headlight doors and steering wheel. '50 Pontiac dash. Taillights are '54 Ford, I should know what the rear bumper is, but it hasn't come to me yet. Don't know about the front one. '52-4 Merc hood scoop.
edit: Rear bumper is a '51 Merc and the front might be the top rail off a '52-3 Merc.

 

Here is a extremely rare truck that has been sitting for quite some time. Very very solid with only a few minor bumps.
1966 N700 Crew Cab. Older Gentleman who bought it 31+ yrs ago said it will fire up and he would drive it anywhere.

 

^^^ I just can't stop picturing that as a really cool car hauler...

 

Then why is it still sitting and rotting?

 

Not to mention that side trim on the fake Woodie wagon !
