What models will be desirable some 80 or 90 years in the future? Probably anything that requires constant driver attention and is powered by an ICE. That is if gasoline is even available 90 years out.

Coopman where did you pull that photo from? That is in New Zealand going by the number (license) plates on those cars.

Graeme .....If you're referring to the pic in post #2, it was just a random "junkyard" picture that popped-up on the internet when looking for relatively current-day junkers. DD

The hills in the background looked familiar to me. I did some digging and that car wrecker is about 14km north of where I live. Coincidental you should post that pic.

Same thing but these 4,000 beauties never hit the road. What happens when you overturn a 656' RORO ship in St Simons Sound , Georgia 2019. Somebody's Arse is in a sling. Nobody killed! Cut the ship into sections using a huge chain and barged to Louisiana.

What was the name of the ship? I'd like to look up the incedent. I am curious about the huge chain.

Well thanks guys. What a huge operation! And what an insurance claim! My dad was a marine insurance broker. He dealt mostly ships and cargos heading up to Alaska. He had some disaster tales to share at the dinner table now and then, but nothing like this.

Possibly MEDICINE BOW MOTORS in Missoula, MT 70's-80's ?

3ARDUN2 · 01-11-2022, 11:00 AM

Might be Antique Auto Rosemead Ca. junkyard in late 60’s.

Looks like the more desirable ones were stacked on top out of harms way

What a waste of good wagons.
Traded horses for horsepower.

As V8COOPMAN said in Post 2, things have not changed. Desirable XF Falcon Ute in Australian Scrap Yard. Hope someone saves it before it is crushed.

XA Falcons have gone through the roof in NZ. People are asking 40 to 70 thousand dollars for ridgy didgy sedans, that is just bog standard saloons from 200 six, 250 six to v8 Fairmonts. Wish I still had my Aussie assembled copper bronze, vinyl roof bench seat, column auto, non power steering, 302C Falcon 500...who would have thought.

3ARDUN2 if you're talking about Gene Scotts' place in Rosemead, the yard was really out in Irwindale and that ain't it anyway.
