Excellent coverage Glenn !! Thanks for keeping us posted on current market of swamp rust. It really is a shame these cars went to junk.

Yes, thanks Glenn for your typical photo diligence on Sat. When I was there Fri. there was a swarm around that 5-window Model-A. One guy said it was a '30 body with a '32 grille. The body was terrible but I guess the grille and fenders were worth the selling price.
The '59 ELC was a 6-cyl. Any idea what the lettering said on the side of that '60 Delivery race car?
It certainly was a shame all those neat cars were left to rot like that. Did you take notice of how many trees were recently sawed down around the cars? They must have been impossible to get to for quite a long time.

[b]The coupe was as most of the cars were, sold without a title. The auctioneer called it a '31 and the
license plate frame on the back said the same. I cannot tell the difference. I watched someone stand
on the running board and thought they would go through it. They had a problem getting it up on the
rollback as it seemed to be flexing and getting caught at the mid section of the car.
The auctioneer said they had tree guys there for 3 days cutting and trimming to enable buyers to get
their cars out.
I could not make out what that name was on the side of the sedan delivery either. Any guesses?

The buyers came all the way from Indiana - with a trailer with no ramps.

A quick stop at a lumberyard would've made things easier. A couple of 8 foot long 2X10s can't be all that expensive, can they?? Even if you break an "organic ramp" I can still find uses for them.

I had to dig a little, but (using a 6' 4X4 post as a lever and a 6X6 chunk as a pivot) I've levered a car high enough to slide a jack and a plywood pad underneath. Doing this solo I simply stood on the end of the post AND maneuvered the floorjack into place.

there could almost be a thread that features trees growing through cars. i know where a 57 Ford Squad cars sits with out a motor. Theres a 7 foot radius Oak growing through the engine bay. Its quite a sight to see! Also have seen a 69 Chevelle SS with a Tree growing between the rear bumper and body.
