Doesn’t look as if these cars are being cared for. I’ve said it before and will again. I just don’t get the mentality where people just cling to these things if they don’t have the funds or intention of fixing or taking care of them. I’m sure every one of them would sell to someone who would fix or at least preserve them properly. And the seller would have a few bucks in their pocket to boot.
It is maddening as these cars are rotting and becoming less valuable by the day.
True. I also look at it from a parts problem. Any of us who have older cars also know how difficult it cam be to find solid parts any more. I’m not saying these cars look like parts cars only, but my point is the longer they sit out, the worse they become and eventually they even lose the parting out value.
Gotta love those round 1963 Ford taillights. The epitome of the jet exhaust look that Ford featured at the time. The angular Eldorado is also nice, quite a departure from its coke bottle corporate cousins. This Cutlass may have been the peak Colonnade before the 1978 downsizing.
Love the Galaxie in the back lane. Beautiful car, beautiful setting.
The Galaxie has a Breezeway back window. Sort of.
Interesting how stylistically the ’67 and ’76 are not so very different overall, yet the ’64 looks so much older than the ’67.
Yes, the annual styling change madness of the Big Three peaked in the decade from 1955 to 1965, trying to get every one to trade in every couple of years. Tooling costs must have been astronomical.
Curious neighborhood.
I’ve never seen a sawtooth fence as in the first photo. Is it a Canadian thing?
So many good intentions gone awry.
Bummer about the Ford’s backlight ~ I hope someone saves it before the rain fills the trunk and rear foot wells rusting the car B.E.R. .
Neat fence .
I’ll take the ’74 VW .
