not prewar, but...

This was too immaculate a collection of Pontiacs for me not to take some pics of to share with y'all. Met some super nice folks on a service call and they were kind enough to let me snap some shots of their "donor" cars. By my count they have 24 Pontiacs, I think they were all 57's.

They have six in mint condition including 3 (convertible) '57 Bonnie's as well. I took a couple shots of those as well, but they requested that I not post them...I'm ok with that and I figured you guys would probably drool more over the donors anyway!

If the owner is lurking out there, thanks again for the grand tour! It made my week.

Anyway, here ya go-they're climbing up the bunker walls trying to escape!

Brings back memories

Wow, those old Pontiac photos are Cool! I love stuff like that. When I was a kid, we used to play in an old wrecking yard and I think that's where I learned to drive a standard shift car. We used to sit in the wrecked cars and pretend to be driving, banging gears like there was no tomorrow! Ya just don't see too much of that kinda stuff around here anymore. A number of years back, the Government decided to clean things up and went around getting rid of old cars laying around. Not too long ago though, my buddy and I wondered upon some old jewels in the bush behind his place. check 'em out!

Seeing pictures like that can give us all hope that somewhere out there is the next big find. By the way, I'm in the "service call" industry and I never get to see finds like this. What service industry are you in ?

I was down there helping a producer out with tractor mounted sprayer tanks. Scouted the back-roads whole way down there, saw nothing...as fate would have it, found the motherload at my end destination![cl
