Michigan wrecking yard auction this weekend

[Sherlock]

Came across this on one of my other lists... Bob's Auto Parts (Fostoria, MI) is shutting down so they are doing a massive auction ( https://www.rowleyauctions.com/pages/auctionmay1718_2008.htm ) The auction company says there are 1800 cars to go, not sure how many of the cars are of the British or import variety, but you never know...

In one of the "additional" pictures, I think I see a MGB tail light.

With the price of scrap I'm suprised that they are even bothering with an auction.

Holy Cow!! Stacks of 57 chevies. The square back (VW) is a 67 or earlier. The "starsky and hutch" mobile is a corvair, and there is a corvair van in the background. There is one photo of a 60 edsel. Check the production numbers on 60 edsels. That is a pretty rare car. I would love to walk through that place. I bet there are some finds to be had.

EEEWWW... that's some pretty rough lookin stuff. I like the fork lift dents in the Crosly rocker panal.

Cars don't rust in Michigan,do they?
Did anyone notice the 2 Spitfires?- 1 in
front,& 1 in back of the Corvair.
