Just found out about a huge salvage yard in Sunrise Texas. There is a website with a video of the inventory. Looks like a lot of all brands with the exception of Oldsmobiles. At around 36 into the video there is a pair of red inner fender shields that could be Olds and somewhere around 52 or so there is a mid 70's big Olds convert. The video is over an hour long and I didn't look at all of it, but there is a lot of older iron, mostly 60's and 70's with some earlier stuff. Saw a 65 Cutlass with a very nice grill and a 64 with same.
Browne Salvage, Sunrise Texas

 

It’s actually in Sunset, TX.

 

So that's a little west of Sunrise?

 

Good call 🤙

 

Browne auto salvage.

 

Based on the age of some of the cars and the number of them, I would say this place has been there a long time. Has anybody ever bought anything from them?

 

That's good to know. I bought my 48 model 66 from a yard like that. It was in south-central Missouri. Those places are gold mines for old iron. Depending upon federal/state/municipal regulations some of them apparently are being forced to close down and clean up the land. I recall reading an article about one that had to close because the closest town and or county got down and dirty on the owner for fear he was "poisoning" the land with his old leaky cars. He had clean it up, sell all the cars for scrap and close up his business because of it. All that beautiful old iron going away forever...

 

I try to go visit Trenton once a year. I usually come home with something every time. He's not cheap, but he is reasonable in my opinion especially considering the scarceness of old school yards. When I go, I always take my 4x4 truck as you'll drive back into the yard and can drive up and down the aisles which can have a lot of terrain or mud depending on rains. He will remove items and ship. I believe he told me that this was his third location due to zoning restrictions and civilian encroachment.
