This is a new one for me. The Skipper in not any old Mustang, but what appears to be one of the really early 65 Shelby GT350 prototypes. Note the rocker and roof stripes with the painted steel wheel.

I went junk yard shopping today, and came across these... I’m was surprised to see these still in a scrap yard.. I’m not sure what a few of them are, before my time...
















Cheers,

Lol. It was. I spent a good couple of hours there. Hadn’t been there in years. Im not sure about the years, but that gmc 9500 might be, around that vintage anyway... my ‘58 was the first year for dual headlights if I remember correct, I was guessing that was a mid fifties. ..

I think the first pic is a ‘55 or ‘56 Olds Super 88. I at one time had a ‘56 Olds 98, which was a nice car in its day.

This was at the Harbourfest car show in Kenora a few years ago
