That just makes me want to cry - I mean, when you consider that back in those days, any one of those cars would have probably required less than 200 dollars to get back on the road again, and instead there they sit - never again to feel the wind through their radiators.  I mean, on nearly every picture I felt like clicking the "Report Abuse" button on the right side...  It's almost enfuriating.  There were a few pics of a 61 Impala that I'd just BEG to dig from the weeds and see if there were any chance of bringing her back...  Always did admire those giant cars...

So, so sad...   :walkaway:

This thought may not be politically correct, but is an opinion offered. It may be correct? or it may be wrong? It is not designed to appease those needing shelter from the real world.

 :( :-[ :-\ :crying: :'( :sadwavey: :walkaway: :faint:

So much beauty! So sad the cars and trucks are slowly dying. These machines are why we have the restoration businesses and car shows. We are addicted and obsessed with reminding people of how beautiful these cars and trucks once were.

must not be many folks that know about these cars...or have known.  they are all probably just as together as the day they were parked.
