"Junk Yard" photos
No Olds.... but some cool old cars/trucks. I was wandering around on the farm over Christmas checking things out. These are some cars that are sitting around my wife's grandparents old home place. The house was struck by lightening and burned in the early '70's. There are cars, tractors, and all kinds of old equipment sitting around.

Thanks for the comments. A neat little place back in the woods...glad I could share a rapidly disappearing piece of Americana.
As most old farms were back then, they didn't get rid of anything. Many of these cars were Gov't surplus (Savannah River Site, where all the A-bomb materials were manufactured) that were purchased for a few hundred bucks. My father in law and his Dad drove the wheels off of them. When one died, they would park it and get another one.
I pulled the 51 Merc with the suicide doors out many years ago with big plans to build it. Obviously never happend....too much of the rest of life got in the way. It will be up to my son now...
