Junkyard in Iowa

Lance

Does anyone have the information on that junkyard in Burlington ,Iowa selling cars for a short period in early November?

Lance, are you talking about Bruce Baker's cars or is this something else?

No this place was owned by a guy since 1946. He died and apparently his kids sold the contents to a scrap iron dealer nearby. They realized that there were some valuable old cars there so they made it available from Nov 5th thru the 20th to get parts or whole cars before they crush .  I just need to know the name of the  scrap iron dealer. They are now the folks who can sell any and all parts

You are looking for #17 on the list (Grandetties)  in Burlington.  This was owned by  a fellow  who hauled cars and just parked them, From pictures I have seen all woods and typical just junk that someone trying to make big bucks off. $10.00 just to look at or buy.

 Found out today this fellow was a AMC dealer at one time??  And there a  lot of Hudson in the yard. This came from a friend who lives in the area who buys and sell collector cars. So if you want anything better come and get them as all going to be crushed at end of NOV. He also lots of pictures on Facebook.
