Didn't know if this should go here, or somewheres else(Just let me know) a few buicks in there...but oh my God....all those GM cars.....all those early 60's Convertibles in seemingly very restorable condition!!! I saw this on a lincoln forum a frequent. Seems to be more than one yard, but that one Yard!!!1:eek2: It will take a minute or so even with fast connections to see all the photos... http://www.thelincolnforum.net/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=24423&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
The Buick field may be in Canada somewhere. A Chalet Blue '60 Electra convertible with bucket seats identical to mine, just rotting away .:ball:
South Bay? Where's that? There's a road right next to the place, so people are driving by it all the time. What a great place. Nothing like that in Ohio, that's for sure.
No, the guy who put the link on the lincoln forum said he found them on yet another forum! I guess we can assume that if those are in Canada, it's western Canada? Or at least some part that doesn't use salt at all??? I can hope some rich, crazy(but not too crazy!) car guy will have some folks search for the lot, buy up all the cars, and restore the restorable.
Amazing I could look at pictires all day or spend weeks walking around there checking these cars out.Thanks for the post
I'll bet that is somebodies collection and they probably arent for sale.. notice how most are complete cars with no parts missing
I can guarantee it won't be East Coats Canada. Any local cars long ago sold for steel content. Those that remain in a few smaller yards are the exception to the rule. Likely the paint is the only thing holding any eastern cars together by now unless stored inside & never Winter driven.
Ohmigod what a find, have to scoure the planet with google earth to find em....it looks to be multiple yards, but i sure don't think they are in Canada either cause my 95 chevy trucks have more rustuzzled:
Hi, I tried to blow up the licence plates on the ones I could see, but they get too blurry, the brown early 60's Buick looks to have an Ontario plate hanging on it. The trailer in the back ground does say Canada on it.:grin: Bruce
It looks like there are several different peoples' pics there. Just checking the properties alone will show a few different photobucket sites that they were scoured from. One of them, belonging to "mojogator" has a bunch of the pictures taken out in fields. If you go to his photobucket site, you see he has ebay photos uploaded. Go to ebay and check for seller mojogator and there he is... in Nashville. The first set is by drjdvm95 - the one with a lot of Camaros. His name is Ned Jackson, if you believe his youtube video of his Camaro (which you can also see at his photobucket site). By watching the video, it says that he won a trophy in a show in Pleasanton, CA. Another one is swdobbs, but his photobucket site is password protected. After checking jalopyjournal, it appears he's in Montana. Another one is chevytodd, and it's password protected. But, doing a google search brings up a chevytodd on fullsizechevy.com and I'm leanging towards it being him as I did see the same photobucket information linked in an archived version of the site, but the image link I found in a current version was a little different. The location there says Edmonton, AB. And he did take the picture with the trailer that says Canada's Rock n Roll on it. Then there's one that has the photobucket of someone going by 1951chevy. In his site he has a set of photos called 'my 49 dodge coronet.' The car in the picture has Indiana plates. His photos included the tree in the engine compartment. There was also a couple of smaller sized photos at the end that are different from the group. Those were from renorat and it's a private photobucket site too. But I searched for renorat and 'wrecking yard' and found that he posted them on jalopyjournal a couple of years ago. In his post he says he isn't telling where they are, but they're in Nevada somewhere. One of them shows a company called D&L something... I think that may be the yard where his pics came from. I'm thinking a bunch of them may have came from the jalopyjournal.com site. In fact I'm now thinking I should have started there and looked for their usernames to start - probably easier. You know how many of us use the same username for multiple places - makes tracking easier...
Some of those pics could have been taken in western Canada, possibly the BC interior, as I've seen rolling hills there. One or two pics have a bit of snow, which doesn't help ID location much. Many others look to have been taken in a climate which receives a fair amount of rainfall, judging by the overgrown foliage.:laugh: In fact, I went through a couple of yards like them with Greg, Wildcat1562 a few years ago. Then there's the razor wire topping the fence in some other pics, which I've seen mainly in the eastern US, usually near or in major cities. Of course, that wouldn't necessarily mean anything. All in all, my bet is a collage of several wrecking/storage yards.
Last picture... On the side of the panel truck: Dick's Auto Sales & Rebuilders 11 Martin Dr Mound House, NV 89706 (775) 246-3446 Looks like they may be the owner of the cars in the fenced pictures.
