Default Another junk pile

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.

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'...
