Well Joe, I am in the works of getting a few of them for my own personal enjoyment.
My uncle just has too much neat stuff to do something with it all. I could have spent the whole day taking pictures, I just took pics of some of his stuff.
I am going to be trying to get the one old mercury off of him. It needs a hood and a door, but I can hopefully pick that up with not too much problem!

That rather tired 'ol 1928 Model A Roadster is worth more than all the rest put together + .
I see besides Fords: Mercury; Dodge; Cornbinder; Chevvie;
That 1957/60 back glass and rear window trim is worth a pile of loonies.
Convertible top bows on the hood of that 46 or 47 Ford.
I have one question. What is the blue 4 door sedan? I stared and stared, can't quite make it out. Looks either 1949/53 Chryslerish, or a Packard from the same vintage. Appears to be another beyond.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
That's better than any museum...
A old scroungers paradise!

No problem Bill, anything else you can tell me about what you see would be great too!
My uncle got that roadster for 2 grand, and it ran and drove, he drove it around till the tire popped and thats where it has sat.
There was just too damn many pictures to take though. Next time I am out there i will take more pictures for you though Bill, and I will tell you what that blue sedan is.

A Model A Roadster for 2 grand? That musta been many moons ago! Even in that shape, it's worth 10 times that much today. An un-restored Model A Roadster is rare, rarer, rarest today.
If it's a 1928 early AB model, the price doubles!
The brown 1961/63 Uni-Bodied pickup, if not too rusty is worth saving.
Heck, everything there is worth saving in one form or another.
That many un-molested old rides in one place....
In two words: Un Believable.

Its kind of a long story on how come my uncle got it for 2 grand, but his neighbour moved away and couldnt take it with him, and my uncle had helped him find parts for it, so the guy sold it to my uncle for 2 grand, about 2 years ago.
You would love his yard. There is alot of scrap there too, but more cool stuff then scrap.

Preppy, can i come with you next time? I fit in a suitcase. I want to live there, wild and free like those vehicles.
Bill, when you say a 28 roadster is rare, is that talking only about a car roadster, or is a roadster pickup rare as well, how about a 29 roadster pickup?
(A really big suitcase)

Old adage: Rust is Gold
Old adage, part II: I buy junk, I sell antiques.
May I come, too? Only thing is...forget the suitcase, I wouldn't fit in anything smaller than a steamer trunk.
