Another salvage yard custom, it’s some kind of late 50s Chrysler product (edit: probably a ’59 Desoto). This whale is parked by the old barn/workshop at the Big M. Nosed, decked, roll panned, frenched, but painted rattle-can flat black and never finished. I’m sure this car will one day be completed by a new owner. […]
1951 Studebaker Champion
Here’s the rest of that Studebaker I posted that detail from yesterday. These should give those nose parts some context. Similar to yesterday’s posting, but a little more obvious, with the nose and grille in there. Same type of thing, a short exposure (30 seconds) that let me get the lighting done before the moon […]
V8 Bomber

Scott Motors
This one’s for all the Scotts out there, you know who you are. I rolled out to Big M Auto Salvage last night. That’s a 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, and the one on the left, a rare 1958 Edsel Bermuda station wagon. They were in deep shade, ie: total darkness. The wagon was lit with […]
