Yard owner must have creamed his jeans when he saw those three wrecks come rolling up. ;)   Did you find much in the yard.

My problem is with visiting old wrecking yards is that I wanna save most of those cars and drag them home. Thanks for sharing the photos. I love old wrecking yards. I have bought several cars out of the local yards over the years and still have a few of those cars. Bought a 71 Dart Swinger which was the wrecking yard owners car for 200.00 and I also bought two 1957 Chevy's for $200.00 each. I don't regret my purchases.

Isn't that a 56 wagon?
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

That's for sure! And that one growing through the Chebby grille is just crazy.

Looks like a 1937 Hudson Terraplane. You should go back & snag that grille & Ebay it, it looks like it's in good shape. :2thumbs:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Yes, it was a very neat place.  I never knew about this place but it is only 20 minutes from me.   I followed my friend in the Road Runner. It is East of Hwy 115.  It is not an actual wrecker yard (from what i understand) Just someone who used to have a wrecking yard and then just sells to the occasional visitor.
