I really enjoy the Junkyard Finds column; it is what introduced me to the TTAC in the first place, and I enjoy every post.
It would be neat to see what the B&B are finding in the way of junked/abandoned cars as well; along with the finds in CA and CO.Â* Someone mentioned spotting a Chrysler Airflow in a junkyard, would love to see that, just as an example.
There is farm that butts up to my back fence.Â* For whatever reason, the farmer who owns it loves to collect old stuff on his property.Â* I have only seen one car removed; the rest just sit there and slowly rot away.
A couple of school buses, a Chevy van, a 1980s Cougar.Â* An old GM station wagon; and of course old pickup trucks.Â* An Opel as well; I don't want to know what it looks like inside that half rotted travel trailer.Â* A pair of massive old engines from a cotton gin are at least under a tin roof.
There is a field I drive past every day that has three old cars sitting in it.Â* One I recognized as an early Olds Toronado; the other two are from the 1930s.Â* After looking at them daily for several months now; I realized yesterday that the one in the middle may be a Chrysler Airflow.Â* Will look more closely in the next few days, and if that is the case, see if I can't take pictures of all three; I have read about the Airflow in books going back to my childhood; but this will be the first one I have seen in person; even if it just a carcasse.
Only problem is that while you can post pictures with this forum; they show up as thumbnails, and clicking on them does not enlarge them.Â* (I have tried with IE under Windows, I believe Chrome under Windows, and Safari on the iPhone; none work.)Â* That would have to be fixed first.
