Missouri Junkyard Rivieras (& others)

[Bandit524]

Just back from taking the kids to Table Rock Lake for Spring Break. While in the Bull Shoals area looking at property, I stopped by a junkyard I had discovered through a real estate listing to look at a 75 for parts. While there, I counted three boattails (one with buckets & console) and a 63-65 (with buckets & console). Both of the previously mentioned Rivieras with buckets & console were complete intact cars. The other two boatails and the 75 were less so. For you Cadillac fans, there were approximately 5-7 1950 era Caddys (two door and four door) as well as 60 & 70 Chrysler products. Prices seemed reasonable--I could have bought the complete 75 for 200 bucks but it was a rough accident victim. I lost the phone number to the place but directions follow:

1) Traveling east on Hwy 160 approximately 3 miles prior to Gainesville

2) Turn right onto a dirt road at the sign (blue) for Locust MO--MapQuest will show you the dirt road to Locust

3) Less than 1/4 of a mile down on the right side will be a turn in with a relatively new green gate--your at the junkyard

4) Once inside the gate, you will see a couple of old mobile homes and a barn--the cars are all parked out beyond the barn

I hope someone finds this post helpful. I hate to see these cars wasting away like this. I'm still looking for 75-76 Rivieras--any leads out there?

Did any of the boattails have blue interiors? If so, the name of the palce would behelpful. Can't travel there from ND.

None with blue interiors that I recall. There was no business sign up--just a field full of cars way out in the country.
