Again not Model A but there's a 36 coupe and a Zephyr. The convertible is a 41 Buick,by the tail light

Even the most desirable/prestigious old cars have gone through the stage of not being worth much, if anything. If they survive that, they are safe (ish).

You say it is not Model A but dead center of the picture has a car with a banjo rear axle, spindly wire wheels and a split rear bumper. That might be a Model A.
Don't you wish you could pull just one of those cars for a project now? Another thought, that pile of steel and iron would make more than twice that number of today's junk cars.

The car farthest to left sitting on the ground looks like a 38 Plymouth

You've probably seen this one, but junk piles are hard to resist....

To Synchro's point - My streetrod is a 1936 Plymouth. There really is not a lot of that pre-war Mopar tin left. I guess that is why I like it. Sometimes it is nice to drive something a different. I guess at one point they were just old cars, and were sent to the crusher (war steel?), or used up as race cars.

Thanks for the blow-up, Mercman. I guess these were luckier than most, for now. They look like the are waiting to be 'parted out'...
