The junkyard that time forgot

If you ever get to Spokane WA, you have to see this.....

Antique Auto Ranch. It's an old junkyard with teens through late '50's cars and trucks and parts. About a half city block of heaven. Tons of model T and A stuff. Flatheads galore. Trails through the weeds and brush. Falling down buildings crammed with parts. Just unreal....

These guys are really friendly and knowledgeable about what they have. Prices are pretty fair.

I came across a yard like this a few years ago in Arlington,Tennessee. The city of Arlington closed it down and everything in it to the scrap metal yards. It had to have had at least 300 vehicles which predated 1960. There were at least two large piles of chrome items. I was early into my build at the time and did not have enough common since on how hard some of the parts I was looking at would be to find at a later date. I felt I would be able to pick a few items as I needed but on the third trip out the yard had been closed and all you could do was watch bulldozers destroy old metal.

They're in Spokane? Why didn't I know this? Lol. Is there any contact info for them? Did you happen to notice if there was any two-ton stuff?

It's kinda like a treasure hunt to find stuff......

I rode over with a friend in his '39 convertible(in the pic on the FB page)......so not much room for parts. So I didn't buy much.
Plan to go back soon and spend more time digging..........I only saw about half of it.
