Nice find Ilya, Orland is about 35 miles from me, I tried to get access to a yard just like that one (I think the same one) and even talked to the father on the phone a few years back, with no success. I don't have the $ to buy but I would love to meet you if you make that return trip. PM me if you do , and if I'm free Id love to have a cup of coffee or join you in your hunt. I could at least help you carry your stuff back to your trailer. Congratulations.

You guys in the South West make me sick! So many cancer free trucks!

That truck with the vintage camper is cool. The bumper must weigh a ton!

I know it is not yours, but shouldn't that COE cab be up on blocks to get it out of the grass? The hard to replace short running board/step could rot from the bottom up....

What a great way to spend time with your Dad!

What a trip! There used to be a yard like that in East Texas near Palestine but the kids sold it all off for recycle after the Dad died. That was about 20 years ago. Good to see that this guys kids kept it going.
Nice finds and that is one fine looking Airflow. Don't see many of them around.

Last time I saw that many 48-50's was at the dealership. By the way
even at my age I have never seen an Airflow in the flesh never. Airstreams yes. You want something rare and I mean rare reseach resulted I had the
only one in the world. Owned from new by a doctor I think he must have
had it built and willed it to my mother who worked for him.

Those front fenders look NEW compared to mine. I have serious fender envy!

Thanks for posting so many good shots, Ilya. Oh, that's a pretty sharp Airflow, too.
