I've always been fascinated by rotted out old
cars... Over the years, the government has set up programs to deal with
automotive salvage yards, which is a real shame for old car restorers.
Over the last 20 years, countless cars have been destroyed by such programs,
but I can remember going to lots of junkyards as a kid, and spending hours
searching for parts for our cars, or sometimes, just taking pictures of the
relics... Here are a few I ran across recently, shot in 1981.... I wish I
had taken many more, as the owner had a huge collection. He supplied
local car guys with lots of stuff over the years, but after his death, I
suspect these all went to the crusher... |
