Junk Yard Find

[48oldwood]

I found this in an old yard that I bought cars from. This one is on the crush list but I thought I better show you guys. Located in Little Rock, AR. I found this marker in the trunk.

Looks like a few decent parts for someone.

Yep, good bumpers and lots of good trim. Hope someone scores some parts and they don't get crushed. I don't get it, scrap is down, are they closing the yard?

What kinda hubcaps are those?

That looks like a solid and almost complete 49 Dodge. I sure hope somebody saves it.

The only thing I see missing is the rear window.

That looks like a restorable car. The back window missing would be a concern because of moisture. At the very least it would be an excellent parts car. Looks like it even has a decent cloisonne hood emblem which are very hard to find. Hope someone pays the scrap price and saves some great parts at least. You could make a lot of money parting it out or move it on as a restoration project.

I may buy it but nothing is moving off this property till the rain stops for at least a couple of weeks with some heat to dry this marsh land up. Floor pans are holy.

Take LOTS of photos of anything pre-1960 you spot in there. Some of us may see something we just can't live without,or something we need to buy for parts.

Would be nice to find out where that marker belongs. 1958 isn't too old to check out.

That looks very much like a British MkIV Zodiac hubcap.
If it is, that would be more of a mystery than the marker!

Looks like the guy died in Little Rock.

oh no...headlines reads............ZODIAC killer leaves clues of past carnage in 50's Dodge....

[Plymouthy Adams]

there is a US made car with similar cap as shown on the Zodiac, it is a spinner cap...ws thinking it was Mopar as it stands out so familiar in my mind....here is a pic of a local ad with some caps for sale...notice anything similar....?

The caps in the trunk and actually the ones on this car too both look like 62 ford

thanks Ed....I knew I had seen that cap on an early 60's  US make, was however still associating a spinner with that style...

Or in the trunk. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Thought for a few seconds the marker said John Wesley Harden..  LOL   That would be a REAL find...Be nice to have a section here where members could post local junkyard photos of cars and their locations.
