just another chevy with all the wood rotted off.

 

Here’s a couple I came across in a yard in Missouri.

 

^^^That merc definitely needs saved.^^^
What's the other car? Lincoln? Pretty cool cars there

 

The Merc is a 4 door but still collectible.

 

Looks like a 49-50 Ford coupe in the back also.

Man, that yard would be adult Disneyworld for me!

 

Looks like those poor Buicks are beyond saving.

 

Definately a 39/40 Nash.. The 37/38 Nash looks more like a 38 Chev with headlights on the side of the grille...

 

i need those merc letters lol

 

Scott #20 not a Willys. I put some pictures on another thread by the same name. So I put here also.
Found this in Kingston NY at the Great Life Brewing building 75 Clarendon Ave.

I hope this is the right place to post this.. For many years I have taken pictures of old cars and trucks in fields, gullies, wrecking yards etc. I have hundreds. In the late 1980's I was able to visit a long closed salvage and scrap yard in Lone Oak, Texas owned by Hubert Dodd. He was elderly and lived like a hermit. I could buy anything out of there but you did not argue price. Stuff was cheap enough, but there were literally tons of cars, parts, and cut up metal. I took a lot of pictures. Finally he passed away and in 1990 everything was auctioned off. These are pictures of just some of the cars and trucks there, some of the stuff I rescued (limited funds) and finally what happened to the rest, Made me sick to see but I thought it important to get a record of it. And I have another set of pictures of a similar situation at a yard in west Dallas in the 1990's.

I saw this on Facebook, so it has to be true - person says "we found this while on a hike" in Wilson County, TN. No, I don't think I believe it at all, but I'll post it up so you can rag on me for doing so. And, just in case this has been posted before, let me know and I’ll take it down.
