Crappy old cars

[mdcarma]

I enjoy going to rod gatherings, concours, car shows in general.  But, I really love finding crappy old  'survivors',  'user vs pristine'.  After 45 or more years you can rest assured there are no 'manufacturers lemons' on this lot.
Had my fearless Rollei 35S and snapped these off at a car lot in downtown Milliken CO

Chev;



53 years outside and not a single hail dent:



But where else can you find one of these?

Interesting shapes. I kept meaning to go down to roam the old yard south of town, but they finally got around to scooping it all away.

Milliken has a downtown??? 40 years in your neck of the woods and I never went there, that I can remember. I love old cars, especially old dead rusty ones. In my earlier years, I could buy one of these "old" cars off the back row of most used car lots in Denver for 15 to 50 bucks. Drive it and beat the crap out of it for as long as it lasted, then sell it to the junk yard for 15 or 20 bucks. Not a bad investment. One old 50 dollar Ford got me to L.A. and back many times before I got stupid and traded it in on a '56 Chevy. Them was the days.

These are great.  The old Studie PU ought to be worth a goodly amount just for the front body work.  Love the flying lady.
