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

Amazing pics... yet so sad....

 

Here's one that I found a few weeks ago.
Wildest of all is that I think it "May" be a car that my neighbour owned when I was a little kid in the early 60's. I used to help him wash it and I'd sit in it and pretend to drive it for what seems like hours now...
I doubt very much that there were too many 48 torpedo's around this area, especially in that colour...
Maybe I'll get around to searching the plate one day.

 

Unknown 'glass car I found a couple years back...

 

Wow!! Sad to see that 40 chevy delivery and the convertable so neglected!! Hope they were saved.

 

Thanks for relaying what sedan delivery is. Couldn't tell in person. Just took those pics yesterday, so salvation awaits them. Hadn't asked prices on either but each can probably be had.

 

I took my Brother Inlaw out to Walla Wa a bunch of years ago, To drop off him at College buddies Fram/Ranch . Right out side of town there's a place that is full of 30ish cars and parts. Tom told me the guy won't sell any of it.

1958 Toronado Typhoon

 

1941 dodge, Cerro Gordo ghost town.

 

In 1940 Chevy made less then 3000 sedan deliveries. I want to say 1500 but can't remember for sure. Looks like there's alot missing. The front doors are the same as a 4dr, the rear door is a tough find. I have a spare rear door.... Here is mine. Havn't had time to start on it yet....





I have lots of spare parts. I drive a 2dr, have a 2dr I used to drive that's a nice car that was wrecked and needs little to drive, and another 2dr with a nice floor for this delivery. Plus lots of spare front clips and parts. It will be a fun project, just have to get caught up on other work....

 

Here's one I found in a local yard.....Has had some mild custom work done to it! Looks like someone was looking to make a dune buggy

this just recently showed up a few blocks from my house,,windshield says 20k,,long way from folsom and a hefty asking price

 

maybe 20k miles hopefully

 

i would hope, but the winshield said 20 k obo

 

These must be the only head light lens in the US that haven't been smashed by a gun toting juvenile.

 

20k obo "on best odometer"

 

Someone should save this one since its for sale. Looks way solid, no surface rust and glass looks great. Could be a cool daily!

Post 7061 is a 1939 Chrysler.

 

not for sale or im gonna do something with that someday. I say BS alway's ends up rottin away or getting crush. Up hear i have seen my share of dam good hot rods getting run over by logging equipement WTF these guys need there d---- ran over.

 

I heard once about a Brass era T with glass,tires and all flattened by a cat.It was in the road of a new fence line.And a deuce 4dr that got buried.

 

From the dash and cowl it's what's left of a '46-'48 Dodge (with a '58 Plymouth steering wheel).

I also see a '58 Edsel in front of it; any info on that? (If you go back there, could you do me a favor and take down the info on its data plate? It's in the driver's door jamb. I help out sometimes with Phil Skinner's Edsel registry.)
