[six-corners]

firstgenaddict......I see the auction sign in front of all those rotting cars...what was the story behind all that old iron?

Old yard in Tennessee, no cars older than 1970. Some as old as the late teens.







Old yard in Washington.

Dave L. and I stopped at that first junk yard in Garden Grove years back.The owner of the yard said the old cars are his retirement.The second junk yard looks more like Ohio.

the yard in Washinton was called "Vintage", its long gone I think about 8/10 yrs now, he had some neat old stuff, being into muscle it didnt really interest me at the time I had to work on a '66 Bird that came into the shop and he had the power window motor we needed, I went out there and the parts guy was cool so I got a tour, he had a ton and I mean a ton of NOS model A,T Ford stuff, plus tons of other NOS stuff, it was on Costco style racks floor to ceiling, it was a jaw dropper how much neat stuff he had, I dont know where it all went though.

I have an early '70s Rod & Custom with a feature article on Vintage parts here in the Seattle area. Lots of early Ford stuff. I think it was on Aurora Avenue just north of Seattle, right Bud?

that was Lincolns, lots of Old Vettes and all Muscle in there they were on about 117th and Aurora...cool place,guys liked me I had run of the place even the back rooms that were off limits, another joint that had tons of NOS stuff, Loyd was the vette dude he had a ton of stuff stashed as well at home, not being into vettes not sure who ended up with his stuff?, he was kinda up in age back then and he has to be gone now??? really sad part is there land was soaked in oil the epa was after them and all the cars were sold or crushed late 80's if i recall right, and they had huge yard about a block square over In edmonds no one new about but a few locals that was nothing but tri 5 chevs, at that time of life they were almost worthless, i was told all were crushed even the verts, I have never run across anyone that said they got anything from that yard other than trinkets they would transfer over to the main store, no one was allowed in it, pretty sad , Verl's house was built right above it and could over look it when at home he was the GM for Lincolns, he had a neat old Lime Green Shelby to among other stuff, interesting guy.

Vintage was a few Miles from me in Woodinville, its a pretty neat boat place now I get most of my sled stuff from them. here is a link you can see parts of the old building and the huge yard.

or getting blown off by the breezes!

Glenn, did you get up to the Hamburg Fieldhouse last weekend? I saw that green sedan delivery there. That was in nice shape!
