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

no pics but there are some sittin around western ks.

 

wtf, I'd still mess with it!

 

A couple more of my shots I'd like to add

 

so no doubt this is awsome. but it also makes me cry...and this is one of things men are allowed to cry about by the way.

 

The Edsel wagon that's missing it's roof skin, looks familiar. Is it in a yard near LaSalle/Peru ILL.?

 

does anyone want to help me build a really really big shed where we can store all these cars/trucks/bikes before the earth claims them?

 

I like the Merc.

 

I havent added anything to this thread in awhile so I thought I wouold toss this on here, dont ask its not for sale right now, and when it does come up for sale, which I think will be in the spring I already have a buyer for the car lined up. It will be going to a HAMB member. Jim

 

This is a wagon that a friend of mine has, it was kinda funny, we were sitting around talking one day andhe said "hey I have a couple old cars I forgot about them, you want to see them?" So we go way out back and there is this wagon and a 52 ford one ton truck, both from AZ but have been sitting here for about the last 30 years so getting some floor rust, the wagon has 318 with auto P/S, P/B and A/C, kind cool car.

 

You got it,that place is like my disneyland.

 

Sever's yard, owned by Mitch? Been a long time since I've been there.

 

'57 Turnpike Cruiser. Cool car, way over the top. My older brother had given me a '58 Monterey, I think it was. One of my first cars.

 

I'll bring all the left handed nails!

Most of my stuff sits outside and I hate that fact, but I am so glad that they decay waaaaay slower here then a lot of other places, plus I take care of them and keep the grass short... it's a lot of work but a good cause.

 

Found this one last week no sign of the owner.

 

Not a bad looking 59 ford, looks like a 3/4 ton, was it a 4x4?

 

Looks like a 1/2 ton. Spittin image of my ol 60 4x4

 

This '55 was sitting behind a WWII Army warehouse in Dutch Harbor Alaska. Even had a military ID sticker on the bumper.

 

That white car on the left is a 32 5-window! see post 2568

 

Hell......that'l buff out

 

In a farmers field about 1/2 mile from me.

 

Well, it was a 1924 or '25 Nash Six Touring...and I bet it "ran when parked"

 

It was converted to run on rails tracks and where they all are was the 'end of the line' for the trains and then the cars.

 

Bob,

Those are the stock rims- they had a split ring to hole the tires on. Converting it would be as simple as taking off the tires/rings

 

Man I've seen the '55s in Coral and Gray, but never an all Coral one w/a Gray roof? Kinda neat. I LOVE this pic BTW....something about it has me staring more than a few seconds....

 

Still there?

 

Man I would love to have that wagon! Or even just the a/c and some parts.

 

Anyone want a Bonneville wagon, the upholstery is still decent, but the 389 floods occasionally...

Broke my heart that I didn't have a space for this at home. $100.oo and it would've been mine.

This is what happens when you park on the beach far from the water, then go for a walk. Only to realize too late that tide was coming in when you left. Seen it a few times.
