Field Find

[burntnova]

So I've got a friend that just inherited an old chicken farm and behind the last barn there is about 60 classics sitting out in the field. She hasn't gone in the barn where there is more cars because of snakes...lol she's scared of them. Can anyone tell me what the car in the 1st picture is? She told me I can come and pull a couple if I'd like too, I'm just trying to find the gems...lol Any help IDing any of them would be helpful.

Someone like Buicks,

1) 1957 Buick Special
2) 1941 Buick cool
3) 1953 Buick looks rough
4) 1960 Buick def worth the trouble
5) 1955 Pontiac eh
6) 1953 Buick 2 door?
7) 1950 Buick hows the metal?
8) 1941 Buick double cool
9) 1947 Chevy 2 door?


tell your friend to get them all titled and sell them off. part em out too, a lot of hard to find parts but the hard part is finding the guys that need them.

Her father loved buick's. She told me to come pull what I want.I've got my eye on a few but these pictures are only a couple out of the 60 vehicles out there. So I've got to get out there and look at everything the only issue now is I'm in Germany for another 8 months.

I would so rock that '57. Looks solid. I like mid 50's buicks and oldsmobiles.

Buick's are Great Cars and you don't see them everywhere as they were the GM line just Underneath the Caddy's.

They were very well built and expensive to buy.

That is a great collection of cars. With a little finesse I be you could find some Buick people that would give most of them a good home.

Parts are a bitch to find however there are a number of those that appear fairly complete.

She's a lucky girl.

Well I'll be in IL my new home here in the next 2 weeks then I'll be heading to the farm to take more detailed pictures and get Vin numbers off of everything at the farm.

Any advice on what I need to get off the vehicles to help with the research?

I also added a few pictures to my photobucket, check them out and leave comments if you'd like.

I've added a few more pictures of the cars at my friends farm and a few pictures of what's awaiting inside the barn. UI should be making a trip to the farm in about 3 weeks to get more & better pictures and hopefully the vins off most of them so I can better ID each vehicle.

Any words of wisdom, such as what I need to look for or write down while I'm down there on each vehicle. i was just going to take better picture and get VINs.

How cool is this!!!



Sadly the gentleman might have liked old cars --- but he certainly didn't do them any favors letting 'em sit out and just rot away. I never do understand that. Why not just have a couple and have them restored to as new - and go drive and love 'em...
