Circa '40 Mopar Cars

[pflaming]

Here are some pics of what I saw today. If you see something that interests you let me know. I have 20 pictures so these represent an overview. I noted that most of the trim pieces were gone, but there was some nice dash pieces.

I also so a nice pair of running boards and a tire carrier on a '55 1/2 ton, a large selection of 15" wheels mostly the narrow width but some wide and a good assortment of hub caps, but mostly singles and a few pairs. If you see something of interest, let me know, I'm only 20 minutes from his yard.

The second picture is a 39 Dodge coupe that had the sealed beam conversion kit on the fender.

Does he have any 39 Chrysler or Desotos is the yard and or 38 Desoto/Chryslers.

I am always looking for some parts for my 39 Desoto.

Looking for the front seat brakets that attach to the floor and control.

39 dodge/Chry and Desoto 4 dooor would all be the same units.

Does this yard happen to be on the far north end of Fresno kind of between the

larger? towns??. Been here for years next to hwy.99?

Forget the name, but always pricey, if so, but have the hard to find parts for some so...

If so, they have a web site to check parts in the yard. Do not remember it, sorry! Perhaps someone else has this?? DO NOT expect a quick response to emailed requests! Family owned, run.

Happy Mopar parts hunting,

Doug

Doug, I know of that yard but no. This yard is a small one of about 50 cars, located south of Fresno, the newest a '55 dodge truck. He has a nice '56 Dodge van, solid body, 6 / 7 Hudsons, some chevys, a champion Stude and a Camander Stude, to mention a few.

Here are a few shots of stuff. The van is solid, I bought the grill,

Very cool Paul.....certainly doesn't look like a small yard from the pictures. I like the panel truck, of course, but some of the those cars look very tempting.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the old car gold. Nice to see someone is more interested in parting them out than crushing them for the scrap price. I am surprised the two big butt coupes have not been picked up by hotrodders. Could probably make one good project out of the two.

I believe thats a 58 panel.

Any chance he has any 1936 Dodges or years close to that?

[pflaming]

Are these mopars? If so, yes! Oh I forgot, he has another, a former sedan farmer made into a pickup, all is there except the last half of the top and rear.

Everything from the front seat forward was intact if I recall. I think it was a '34

Is the car in the 1st picture a 1935 Hupmobile?

- I think this is the first time I have seen even a picture of such...

(Apart from period advertisements and automotive yearbooks)

Must be a rare bird?

Is this a Dodge 1939 coupe?

You were right guy.

[pflaming]

That Hupmobile is a four door. The front doors are suicide the rear open standard. I wonder how complete that car is. I'm going to ask! The headlights flowing into the hood is trick.

The place in Fresno is called Turner's Auto Wrecking.

They are very knowledgeable, very helpful.

I've used them for all sorts of obscure stuff.

And very good to deal with.....I rang them from Australia on the recomendation of a good mate who had dealt with them about getting an S10 T5 gearbox..........they were happy to take my order, accepted my card details over the phone, were able to give me a fair price on shipping the gearbox to Long Beach, boxed the gearbox up and didn't screw me around.........this was about 4yrs ago but I'd recomend them on my experience........Andy Douglas

They have a '42 Plymouth Town Sedan (rare) which appears to have some very decent body parts (fenders, doors etc) as well as a rear bumper and trim pieces. Anyone owning such a car should be interested in these pieces.
