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

These are the large version; 19 inch by 4 or 5 inch wide. I'd walk out and look, but we're getting hammered by a blizzard, more comfy by the wood stove!! These were used on large luxury cars, Cad, La Lasalle, Dusenberg, Rolls, Packard, Marmon, and others. You can find any number of pictures of them. Sadly these aren't well suited for a "T"! The set I have will need quite a bit of work, the rims, specifically the part the tires mount on are good for a pattern, that's all. The center sections, hubs, etc, are really pretty good. I know there are shops who can fab up new rims and spokes. I was bidding against a well known "scrapper" that day and they would be part of your new Prius about now!

 

They were pulling them out of a field. Gone by the time I got back. There was a reaaly cool wagon on the left but it might be cut off

 

Are those your skid marks in the side mirror?

Sure hope they did not crush those, who am I kidding, they stacked them up there, so of course they are scrapped now... sad.

A couple that are slowly melting away, first stumbled upon them 7 years ago

 

That's really sad. The fastback looks like it might be an XL with at least a 390. I've been looking for one for a while now, but I want a driver, not a restorer.

 

Yeah, i believe it is a XL. I hope somebody does something with em'!! They are only about a mile straight down from the junkyard!!!!


I know it's OT, but whats up with that license plate???

 

Saw this today in eastern TN.

 

i need that 57 sedan delivery...

 

(2) '36 Ford fire dept P\U's pulled from a wooded lot, got the whole mess for $250!!

 

Great score!

 

Sad..

 

Good score on the Ford pickups, but the one on the back of the trailer is a '35. '35 has wire wheels. '36 has wide fives.

 

People have been known to swap wheels. Just sayin.

48 Chrysler
Near Reno on CL I like it.....

 

Bug eyes were 58-62. That roof, windshield and grille would bring a prince's ransom.
I've had a few and they're like slotcars.
I'd shoot for that Buick.

 

Uh, not.

The seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth, not the distance from the sun.

 

The tilt of the earth results in a greater distance from the sun, thus change in seasons. Distance from sun=increase/decrease in temps. This is why it's so warm around the equator and why they have a much more mild change in season...their distance from the sun is close to constant comparatively.

I would have junked that 36 5W too if the spare was in that condition

Here's my artsy-fartsy contribution to this thread. I think it's a Nash.

 

This is a jailbar bus that belongs to my dad. In reasonably solid condition. Came from the northern territory desert in australia.Has a sweet set up under the hood. With the bonnet cut up to fit the radiator.funny thing is its about half the size of a regular bus , really short. Probably will never be started. Too many projects to go first.

Not sure why they posted twice sorry guys.

 

That '56 doesn't look like there's nothing useable on it, the left door looks salvageable at least.
