Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I saw this bumper while on vacation. At first I thought of Buick from the 50s. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Wells Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Re: Your vacation. Looks to me like a great place to get away from it all. However a divorce accusing me of irreconcilable differences and maybe even child abuse would be forthcoming if I were to take the family along. Disney, here we come, again.

60FlatTop Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I was so happy with the bench I made from my old Cadillac bumper. And then some old curmudgeon came along and complained it didn't have a back on it. Worked fine for me. It's a '69 Fleetwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere like out in northern New Mexico or Arizona would be my guess. Cadillac ranch is a graffiti filled "art work" about 100 yards south of Route 66 / I-40 just west of Amarillo, Texas. Been there, done that. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2220 Edited March 17 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 We drove through a stretch of similar barren land in Wyoming or Nebraska that "the buffalo [used] to roam". A roadside sign pointed to large smooth topped boulders rutted by the passage of iron rimed wheels of covered wagons during the great western migration. We complain about freeway travel these days...HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I was going through some old pictures and ran across my picture of the front bumper. I believe that it was in Northern Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 It was in the petrified forest in northern Arizona where there’s an old pachard that was abandoned on Route 66. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
