Location: Rusting In New York, hello... | One of the guys on the e-mail list asked if these photos could be posted somewhere, and I offered to put them up here. Most of these cars are at Desert Valley near Phoenix, the '59 Dodge Ambulance is at Hidden Valley (and so is overpriced by about $3000 or so, so will probably never be saved). I guess the others can be bought whole, but most likely only for top dollar.
There's a '57 Dodge like the camper we've seen on eBay, but this one has the stock windshield and doors - you can see it was a wagon or sedan once. A '61 DeSoto 2dr hardtop, rare car there. And a really nice '56 Plymouth turned pickup, someone aught to save this one - it's a US car with left hand drive, not an Aussie.
Also a couple shots of '57-8 Dodge parts cars. Looks like a 57-8 DeSoto 4dr ht next to the '61, good quarters left on it.
For your enjoyment:

Location: Oakley, Ill | That 57 Dodge camper looks like a home built job, where the one with the non-stock type windshield was probably a factory conversion. There was a company doing that back then. I have seen Mercurys, Dodges, and Pontiacs among other brands I can't recall right now. The factory conversions seemed to cut the windshield off, and just the fromt doghouse assembly, and entry was gained by a camper door on the passenger side. |

Location: Rusting In New York, hello... | It's probably like the bodies used on '50's Ferd bread trucks, which used a stock nose and cowl. I've looked at two, a '54 and a '59 - the '59 only has one door, the driver's side could have a door but this one seems to be plated in from the factory.
Would love to see a photo of a Pontiac version -
