Thought this might interest someone I stumbled on to it while looking at a micro car in Arizona. I included a shot of the yard. This is 2 guys collection of 45 years. Most (500 or so) pre 55 non FORD and Chevy cars I've seen in many years. T2V racing
That old camper is great. Just the right combination of Buck Rogers and 30s ingenuity. The portholes are surrounded by trim rings. The tubes in the bump-up may be for cooling purposes? The body at the last pic is a Dodge humpback delivery. There are NO Ford humpback deliveries.
Here are more shots of the car and trucks. I have to run away from these places as all I see are great rods and tons of fun.
Is this the one that is on a main highway? I've stopped there a few times, but it was not open each time...
That's not a Bugeye -- no tip-up front end, and it seems to be made of fiberglass. See how the fender seems to be broken over the front wheel? Maybe some kind of early kit or aftermarket body?
Thats a 57 Burkley sp? micro car used to make great H mod racers or something like that. Had front wheel drive using cycle engines. The yard is open by appointment I have Doc's #
I really enjoy the sedan trucks in the yard. A LaSalle truck and a 30's Caddy Truck. About 15 40's 50's Packards, Internationl sedan? etc.
Okay, I drive thru Salome but never take the offshoots. Strictly Quartzite to Prescott thru Skull Valley. Have too many now anyway... need to finish the van then complete the 40. At least I'm learning body/paint with this one for the next! Man, I just checked where Arivaca is, you are way down there!
Yep, thats a late 50's Berkley. Several engine options (all two stroke motorcycle of various displacements). Fiberglass bodies and very, very small and light. Have seen one with a v-6 Ford that was an autocross special. I used to go down to the dealer when I was about 15 or so and sit in them and just dream my butt off.
Grassroots Motorsports mag recently built a bike powered Berkley special they dubbed the "Berzerkly", very cool!
Yep Never mind the 120 deg plus in the summer its the buzz worms live in them there bushes. And the bugs ALL bite HARD. PS its a very very dry heat....
