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

37 Chevy I think

 

You're right, '37 Chevy. '38 is the same except for the grille. Looks like a pretty solid car.

 

That 57 looks salvageable I think

 

Walsboro Alabama. 38/39 Plymouth Sedan. Just noticed it

 

Nope. There’s no way that little touring car was used as log hauler.

 

Perfect for a Shadetree Mechanic

 

I drive past this one every once in while , waiting for a for sale sign.

 

Hej moparboy, did you save it? looks pretty solid...

 

I know where that '60-'63 GMC that Maverick Daddy posted is--it's south of Cedartown GA near the Haralson County line on US 27. I retired from Polk and Haralson Counties Department of Family and Children Services, drove by there many times. It's been sitting in the same place 20+ years.

 

No. The owner wants a ridicolous amount of money for them. They will probably sit and rot for half a decade more before finally being scrapped. Sigh

 

Damn, such a nice car. Some people don't get it right...

 

That's the "saw one on Barrett-Jackson go for $$k, I'll make my money now, you make it up when you sell the car." mentality. (I've seen those Craigslist ads like that, too. Really? $30-$40k for a rusted out muscle car shell? Yeah, the car at the auction went for that price because it looked showroom condition.)

 

Seen these posted today on Facebook, great find by someone

 

Lee County Alabama.

 

Few years ago I found this 47 Lincoln on a 10 acre estate up in Halesite, NY. The owner was an engineer on the original Apollo project at Grumman in Bethpage. He passed away and his kids were liquidating the estate. The tow truck driver told me to go make sure the car was safe to be towed. I tried to shut the door and it fell off. Within two hours the whole body was peeled off and sitting in a pile. Here’s what was left.

 

trunk floor is better than most i have started with

 

This looks like a lot of stuff around here in Wisconsin. Glad you (or someone) was able to rescue what little was left to be rescued.

I would have bought that whole car just for that steering wheel!

 

The body was scrap.

I did get the steering wheel

 

Ouch! Bet that was a beautiful car once upon a time. Looks like you got some good parts from it, though.

 

A recent trip to a junkyard. Unfortunately many cars have gone to the shredder in the last year. I never thought I would see that with this yard. Notice the empty spaces in the background, those were occupied by cars

 

That would make a nice picture post card.
