Looking for a junkyard trip for me and hudsondad. Would like to find a junkyard in PA or relatively close, we are located in central PA, and would like to keep tradition alive, (day before thanksgiving junkyard trip) and find a yard that has old stuff (40's 50's 60's)in it. Perferably Hudsons, maybe even some Oldsmobiles.... good cheap prices are a plus, and within 100 or so miles would be nice, but hey, we can't have everything.



If you know of one, please pM me !



Thanks!

Rick

    Even if you could find the dream junk yard full of 50+ years old cars you're looking for, they were probably picked clean years ago or are so weathered that nothing of value is left. Best of luck.

    Dave,

    there is always "one" junkyard left where you still find those barn fresh one of a kind cars that we dream of. You can always tell when you have found it because the road up to it is a little misty and through the mist you can just see the front of that 51 convertible peaking through.

    The owner greets you in a off kiltered way and shakes your hand with a hand that has only a hook a shiny hook...he then begins to tell you how he lost it timing a old Hudson. "Put my hand where it shoulda not been" he growls.....

    Yeah ...there still out there you just gotta want to keep looking.....

    Have you tried Dave Rapp on the PA/NY border? Starlight, PA. He has about 70-75 Hudsons. Recently bought the extremely hard to find convertible header for the '52 'vert from him . . . nice fella. I have a phone # if you're interested, just e-mail me as I don't check the forum as recently as I used to-been workin' on Hudson-stuff, you know.
