1950 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe

Still beautiful.

IF the only issue is rust, grab it before someone else beats you to it.

However, seriously, if you visit this location, please take extensive photos of all the cars that rest there. Before taking any of the cars home, please perform your due diligence and ask for permission to rescue one of these from the people that live there lest you be accused of stealing. You can try the idea about how you feel the need to save the car before it’s usefulness is gone forever.

You should definitely consider transferring the body onto a more modern chassis and possibly a totally custom chassis. Such as...

I live in good ol South Dakota...that wind is a regular occurrence, we always have wind to some degree.

Someone should run those plates...get the owner to come pick his truck up before it gets towed.

That's why it won't start! :)

Looks like it's starting to explode outwards

Nobody mentioned the leaning street light!? This pic came out amazing, the way the leaves on the tree are and all makes it look like a model made of small twigs, cotton and a Revell model car kit! Thanks again Motts.

I love photos like this. Wonderful shot. I almost feel like I am standing there with the wind brushing my skin.

Wow I'd bet these would run with some quick work, maybe not great at first, especially the Ford in the middle.

Today it's an art form and talent to be able to create this patina and old signage on cars and trucks.

The famous 2 speed Powerglide, still used today in street rods and at the drag strip. In 8 to 9 seconds how many gear do you need.

It's dented and rusty but probably has less rot on it than my 2010 F150.

Wonder how many of these are salvageable? I would drive around in any of them.

I would of liked to see more photos of the town and less of junk cars.

me thinks this will make my list of places to visit .i agree with auto guy this isn't junk this is an opportunity to restore a piece of history ora chance to decorate my home with one of a kind treasures, i'm thinking of turning an old car door into a shower door.

Looks like someone cleaned out their personal junk yard and just brought the vehicles and dumped them. So sad there are some really interesting vehicles in the mix.
