Just a shot from today showing my 38 parts car and the 52 Merc.

I all ways like looking at cars sitting out like that. There are a few places I go around here. And l look and dream. Don't put them out front. You will have no telling what kind of people stopping by wanting to buy them.

Sad to say a lot of that old iron has been eaten up by the scrap/recycle guys since the price of scrap iron increased. Used to be you could find old cars, trucks and machinery parked rusting away everywhere but they have really thinned out over the years.
Another from the collection. Not a Ford but ..

I am so jealous when I see photos like that. Living in So Cal, there just isn't anything like that any more. The EPA has wiped out all the old yards by regulations.

Were lucky that we still have quite a few around here. I will have to take some pictures of the cars I moved out of a guys place. He had some real cool stuff.

Wow that great looking parts. Nothing left like that on the east coast.

Ill second that

We are lucky here to still have the freedom to collect "junk" at least those of us with property to park it on where it wont' disturb anybody. This pair sits gradually settling into the earth just a short distance from where I sit. Been there near 50 years and I expect the floor pan on the closest one is rusted through , as is the roof on that 50 Ford.
