I am looking for a 455 ...

I go to the yard at santa fe springs ca.

They had a few OLD cars, if you know what something is pitch in ...

I like 56 fords, this one has excellent floor panels a...

and the overdrive is still in it ...

'53 I like split window cars. When you take them off a cliff and there is nothing but sky, it looks like you flying a plane ...

I like that style for sure...

What is the difference ?

The steering column ?

 

Love that Desoto hood ornament...

 

They used a Plastic Man insert ...

The plastic insert on the grill was loose and had small fracture lines ...

 

I sure liked looking at those historic cars; just don't like their upcoming fate...
I wouldn't mind having the horns off that "tanke" wagon...

I sure like that DeSoto; hope it sells - it looks like a pretty complete project.

 

that looks more like a 68-69 catalina..... neat stuff

 

like a 68-69 bonneville.... just saw that little emblem in the grill, my folks had a 69 catalina 4 dr...

 

I''ve noticed that as the economy tanks the quality of cars at pick a part has gotten better ...

both for sale and in the yard ...

 

x2 those old hood ornaments are little pieces of art. Is that "nice parts grabber" a milk truck?

 

Wish I had the room, I would love to rescue any one of them. There is nothing but newer junk where I live as they crushed all the good stuff years ago.

 

They dried up here yars ago. I was surprised to see so many ...

And not a rusted bolt in site ...

 

How complete did that Omega look? Might make a decent lightweight drag car (if it is actually light weight). I guess I should find a place to check that out before thinking too hard on this!

 

It's the lightest Olds you'll find ...

Some can't sell some cars...

If it was bought by the state on a carbon cap program it has to be parted out ...

At least they sell parts ...

 

Then.... your buddy buys the body shell, and you buy the rolling chassis.
Get together later on for a beer and Viola, a complete car.

 

'56 used a dished wheel on a shorter steering column, and a redesigned dash, as part of the new "safety package".

'55 Mainline had no stainless side trim on the rear quarters. '56 did.

At night, the "plastic" was a decorative light.

The man was Hernando De Soto.
