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

I found these last weekend, does anybody know what year the blue truck is?

 

Dam, that new. Here I thought I found something worth getting.

 

sorry mate not that old, the one on the other end is about 74 i think .......

 

Did you notice the rotting buildings in the background? My first guess might be somewhere in Michigan, but maybe someone else can pin it own better.

 

I smashed my thumb in the door of a Pontiac just like that first one when I was eight, about 52 years ago. You can still see the damage to the thumbnail...

 

"(Obvious "Off topic" stuff aside)

Wow, there is no god... I'd give my left nut to own any of those...
Yet they just sit there.
Im really starting to hate the words "gunna fix it up one day"

Here are a few more near my dads farm"


Now who in the hell would want your left nut???? I think you had better come up with money instead.

 

^ My guess is: some women would.... but thats kind of an odd currency. Not exactly internationally recognized.

Besides, Im sure if I tried to do a currency conversion at a bank; they'd be quite un-interested.

 

This could be somewhere other than the US, could be Mexico, or Cuba, the possibilities are as endless as the beaches all over the world, there's alot of them.

 

Howza Bruthas-
54Rat was out in the wilds of North Portland and came across this treasure in some guys back yard of sorts.
Not for sale. Going to be fixed up someday soon.

 

I snapped this a couple of years ago.Thought I would add it to the thread. Won't say where because I didn't get permission to photograph it.

 

Here some pictures Of a few river bank cars. They are trash. Even if they were worth saving it would'nt be possible to get em. I first saw these cars around 17 years ago, there are at least 10 more that have been totally covered.
57 Chevy ( I think ) About to disappear forever.

50ish Chevy upside down and going away

57 ford? Upside down

no guess on these

Like I said these have been here a long time. I was told they were put here in the late 70's

 

Last car looks like a '57 Merc

 

You're basically spot on for most, but I thought I'd clear up the rest for you.

57 Chevrolet.


1952 Chevrolet (I'd snag those grill teeth)



1957 Ford.



1957 Mercury and a 1960 Dodge Dart.



1960 Dodge Dart, 1957 Mercury.



Cool stuff, if this was in my area I'd ask the land owner if I could grab all the good bits off of them. (bits of trim etc.)

 

entombed by a hoarder...

 

Somebody knows their cars.
wow....

 

Mmmmm.....1968 or 1969 Satellite or Roadrunner.

 

Get a shovel!!! Save them!

 

where was that pic taken? Those are all on UK number plates

 

I posted the Bonneville a few pages back, pretty wild to look at!

 

Heres a few from The Land of Slick Willy!

My '55 first series just left town the other day (hopeful resurrection!)


The Family Co. truck (circa 1990) that also had New England drag racing history


My brothers '49 Dodge and the family truckster 1960 Chevy airport limo

 

Heres another one that is now in BlockBuster's garage!

 

Nice Limo, looks like it's a Stageway, I have a 59 Stageway that I rescued out of Montana a while back!

 

Thanks, it was a beauty and took the family everywhere, almost all the way cross country and to Canada several times! 4 doors on each side, mom dad and each of my brothers and sisters had their names on a door, I got my name on the cargo area! (yes all nine of us!) An old slide I found the other day...

 

What a shame that nomad will probably never be cared for or "gotten to".

PACO

 

That's pretty cool!

When I was a kid my dads live in GF had 2 daughters, and I have 2 older brothers, and there were always several other people in our extended family that would road trip with us, but we only had a 79 Econoline for our trips, it was great though, now that my dad and I have this 59 Sub Stretch we want to make it into the road trip vehicle and bring as many friends and family as we can!

 

Willy,

What's next to the '55 1st Series?

 

What did the poor limo do to get left in the field?

 

Anyone recognize this old drag car I found in East Texas? Appears to be a 39 Ford.
