    A couple of weekends ago, on one of my rare Saturday afternoons off, I had the pleasure of rollin' out with a friend to go check on his cars (parked out the middle of next to nowhere), and got to take a look around at some "rusting treasures". . .none of these cars are for sale, so don't bother asking :rolleyes:. . .none of them belong to me (the owner won't sell'em :rolleyes:). . .but it was a great way to spend the afternoon, wadin' thru knee high weeds and bramble bushes, fending off mosquitos, to look around and shoot some "artsy" pics. . .great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in TX:

    Thanks, the 58' Caddy is a hearse, so is the 48' to the best of my knowledge, although they may have been used as ambulances. . .wouldn't surprise me in the least. . .;)

  11. Some of those cars where someones pride and joy at one time and could be again. Save these rusting hulks. :eek:
    Great photos. You couldn't take pictures like that of very many new cars. You couldn't tell one from another.:(
