Vintage shots from days gone by!

I visited an old junkyard in upstate Maine in September2012. It has maybe 250 cars left. I will not disclose where for the owners privacy. It was a cleared treeless yard until the mid 60's before it closed. Just a museum of the past. Look at the size of the pine trees now. In one picture it is growing throgh the front bumper on the car. I love that mid 30's Chevy roadster. Most cars are in late 30's and to the late 40's.

 

Nice gams on the dame seated atop the hood and rare, cool shot of George Hyder and his fuel coupe in the lanes at Lions.
