Licespray Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Here’s a dark topic.. Thinking of early cars and wood bodies - curious if anyone has pics of say pre-1940 cars that have been crashed, both recent and old? Not meaning during racing either. Would be interesting to see, wonder who has a pic of the rarest/most valuable vehicle wrecked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) ^^Wow! That Nash took a hit, but the Chrysler is done for. Actually, they are both pretty much done for. Edited May 29, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have Drivers Ed. at the all boys Catholic high school I was stuck at for 4 years in the late '60s so I didn't see it. In case any of you missed it too here it is.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucketofBolts Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 krause publications in 1990 published a book called "Antique Car Wrecks" from Old Cars Weekly's "Wreck of the Week" photo album. It has over 200 images edited by John Gunnell. There are some great images of some coach built vehicles such as a 1931 Packard Coupe, 1930 Chrysler convertible coupe, 1932 Chrysler coupe, 1929 Cord L-29 four passenger cabriolet, 1933 Pierce Arrow Brougham, and 1932 Buick five passenger 2-door convertible Phaeton. I picked up the book for $3 at a local swap meet. I can't publish the images as copyright laws forbid me to reproduce these images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
