Dam !! no. next time I am there. Its kind of my regular drop in place for wrecking yards. One the few places that still gets old stuff from time to time.
I just saw this car 20mins ago, it has no tag, the windshield is in the car next to its trunk but it has a stone chip and cracked. The back windshield in in the back seat of the car and looks to be in good shape. I got the trunk open and it has decent headlight rings with a tag that says 53 and one decent tail light complete. All doors interior trims are there and look nice, the drivers door panel is off but i found it on the ground behind the car and put it in the back seat so no one will step on it. I took the clock out to see if i can piece together one working one for myself. sorta looks like someone was going to restore the car but lost interest, the body is pretty solid with some holes but for someone that needs some pieces this car might have it. It is a Flat six and its all complete minus the oil bath filter top. The seats are dry but look to be complete, outer window trim parts are in the trunk and other parts for the Pontiac are in the car next to it. The bumpers are in really good shape, it has a yellow chalk mark on the firewall "1204.A.". That's pretty much all I noticed for the 15-20 mins I was there

Looks like a fairly solid car.......what a shame, what a shame that no one ever apreciated that sweet 53 to make her right. I hope she gets saved, yes i know that iam only dreaming. Sadly for many people this car is only for parts or junk. If i lived in a better world....... this car would be saved. George.

Lots of great parts left ... like said, it looks fairly solid, and would have been a good project before the parts vultures swooped in.

I swooped in and saved some trim off the car, i was worried that people would bang into it and destroy some very nice pieces.
