    These were sitting on the side of the road in Louisiana. Saw them on a trip this weekend. Bunch of old Studebaker's IMG_20170430_173238178.jpg IMG_20170430_173207830.jpg IMG_20170430_173116724.jpg IMG_20170430_173238178.jpg IMG_20170430_173207830.jpg IMG_20170430_173116724.jpg
     
  3. That looks to be a 1931 Plymouth coupe with a 1931 Chrysler 8 cylinder car tail end with the two reveals below the lid. You can see the detail on this roadster.... 1931 Chrysler CD8 roadster.jpg

    I asked the owner one last time if he would sell me the car, His response "I'm going to fix it" it's been 7 years since i first saw her. His 28 year old daughter told me it's been there for over 15.
    For now she's sitting and rotting.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Not too far from the above 57 I spotted these two. I spoke to the lady that lives next door, she said they were her father's cars and that her father would take her to school in the 49 Plymouth.

    Her Brother now owns the cars and refuses to sell them he says "I'm going to fix them" (sound familiar)[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
    For now they're just sitting and rotting

    This guy has 3 more 57's in the back, one is a nomad that looks like a cheese grater the other 2 are wagons that can still be rescued. Sorry didn't get pictures on those.

    Good thing the windows are out of that 53, so it can rot faster.

    I really really like it I keep going back to look at it....wonder how "big" it is comparatively to a ford coupe?
     
  11. The early Chrysler product coupes are VERY roomy.

    Now that picture with the tree is cool. The tree is slowly eating the car, starting with the steering wheel.

    Well, the steering wheel may have had wood on it, so the tree is just reclaiming it's own.

    ^^^^^That is from the restored 30s garage on garage journal. Some body on there said it is an original 3 on the tree. If you haven't looked at that thread you really should it is amazing what he did with the place.

  23. I've been posting pictures of vintage tin as I find them. I have always enjoyed the hunt. I have lots of older photo's that I could post. Would they fit here? As most of the cars are probably long gone. 20170509_220811.jpg

    Go to Garage Journal. com then go to garage gallery and "Restored 1930s auto shop" it usually is on the first few pages of the garage gallery it is a really good sized thread.

  27. It's actually that fantastic thread about the 1930s auto shop that brought me first to the Garage Journal and from there to the HAMB.
    But I have stopped reading that thread - normally I am not an envious person but I was rebuilding my house at that time and struggling a lot, so watching that guy with his endless financial resources buying this and that, building halls for his cars and houses, in between some new cars, was just too much for me.

  28. It's here in the Shenandoah valley. Parts or the car are for sale. Send me a pm and I will give you the owners cell number. While I'm posting. Here's another page from one of the vintage tin album's. Ron... 20170512_062339.jpg
