Bleach Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think they were getting ready to torch the pile. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I see a few cars/parts that I would have separated from the pile (especially that Chrysler coupe on the left), but in those days....just old, used up junk to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 It looks like one of those scare tactic drives that the new car manufacturers used to have. "This old jalopy killed a child. It must die!!!!"Sounds a bit like today's, "These guns run around at night, shooting people. We must eliminate them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 This is from the time when to get the best scrap price, the cars were burned to get the wood and fabric out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Who would think those old wood slat and fabric roofs were that strong. I don't see any of those gems on the bottom caving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I had a customer whose Dad had a foundry where he melted scrap. In 1937 he bought 1000 cars for $1.75 each, torched then melted them all down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
