FYI

Lead from Harry Bennett's Son in Atlanta of a Scrap Yard in Lagrange Ga wanting to sell over a 1000 rare old Cars rather than crush them.

Please pass Lead on to save them from Crusher. I notice a Hudson in the first page. Go to www.flicker.com /photos to view them all...... 72157602090321543... Call 706 884 4242 if intested.

  • It's too bad most of these cars have had the engine block removed as well as tires ,radiator etc. Looks like Mr. Waugh is selling off carcasses. Even so once they're gone it will get just a bit harder to find some of the parts.
  • That's what I was thinking, if it wasn't three thousand miles I would find the room to save a couple of those cars. Do things rust much in Georgia?

  • Yes, they do. In a BIG way. Think Minnesota, but from the constant humidity in the air, instead of the salt on the roads. I'd say most of these are parts cars, at best. Some look like they'd crumble to dust being lifted onto a trailer or rollback. Sad to see, really.
  • some neat stuff in the yard, wonder what he gets for a whole car. I love old cars junkyards, but the pictures always make you optimistic. When you see the car thats been sitting outside on dirt for 40-50 years, it's much worse in real life. Some still could be street rod or rat rod material!

    My 49 sure fit that category you've all seen the rust I had to deal with and my car was in in Palm Springs for over 25 years until I bought it.

    Even though - parts, and customs can be made from these hulks and I'd bet there's still a small percentage that would be restoration candidates.
