Junkyard of pre-1960's project potential



Above: I don't know how anyone could be so polluting as to stack cars on a river bank, that is unconscionable... everyone knows old junk car part make great art!
Lower left corner, isn't that a Packard?

No one would have thought 30 years ago that a junkyard would be facinating?



I wonder what that "Special Service" vehicle was for? ( the red van in the background in the photo above )
Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special
a 55 Chev I thought... but Dan nailed it! Buick! Now it reminds me of http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/oldsmobile-beauty-in-blue.html
1969 Mustang Sports roof?
I'd love to see photos of that moving company van

Similar to the "Sleeping Beauties" the look of these junkyard cars in Switzerland is so amazing they were left alone to be a tourist attraction


The yard was started as a auto recycler/junkyard by Walter Messerli in 1933. Fast forward to 1975, Franz Messerli (his son) took over. The son tried to carry on the business selling parts. Then tried to make money as a museum. Basically the business went under and now the grounds are to be emptied and cleaned up.









The above is a turn signal semaphore
