Location: DFW, TX | The Chrysler coupe is yet another '57 New Yorker, these things must be growing on trees! I bet it was stunning in baby blue with a white spear. |

Location: Ballwin, Missouri | Why can't these salvage yards clear the property before they start storing cars,
instead of parking them in a forest so the leaves and brush can add to the rot !!!
DUMB !! |

Location: Lemoore CA | Pictures of yards like this always fascinate me. We simply do not have anything like these in the central valley of CA. I think they must regulate stuff here more closely. There are some things like this that I have seen in the surrounding foothills and mountains, but I don't really thing of them as operating wrecking yards, more like private collections that have gotten out of hand. |
