Wrecked old Fords

Wow look at all the people standing around those wrecks. Some things never change.

Flipping through channels the other day, the start of "the Love Bug" came on. It was figure eight racing from the early-mid 60's footage. Lots of old Ford circle trackers biting the dust. Flipped channels soon after that, cogitated on the loss of lots of good tin, then thought if old Fords were in every garage I probably wouldn't lust after them so much. I hate to waste a good lust.

There is a new Arcadia book "Bowling Green Stock Car Racing" by Larry Upton and Jonathan Jeffrey with 125 pages (and that many or more pictures) of old Fords and a few others in the 1950s at Beech Bend Park, Bowling Green KY.

Here's one I rolled on icy roads in 1961. I had another body on and was on the road again in 3 weeks.

Reminds me when I was in high school back in the 70s. A classmate had a metallic brown late 40's E493A Prefect ( English Ford 10hp 4cyl flathead). They are a bit like the Anglias you Americans made drag cars out of. Well he rolled it one weekend. When he arrived at school on Monday it was blue. He just took the body of another one he had and transferred the plates off the wrecked one.

This '36 Deluxe just turned up on another site. No information, but it is most likely a staged safety campaign deal from a parade, IMO.

Can we see some photos of old Fords that have wrecked in some fashion? Like falling off a tow truck or a building falling on it or what have you. They all didn't live out happy lives in the movies. I remember seeing one that had come off a lift while it was being worked on. That hurts. Chet/Ma.

I sure do miss Chet. He was such a nice fellow.

I found this picture on the out side of the grandstands at the Minnesota state fairgrounds.

One of the most famous ford accidents if not the most ford accident, ever. Donald Turnupseed, 1950 ford coupe.

I came across this in Flat32's Photobucket album.

I love the leaves in the fender well.

The caption for this is 'seat belt test,' but I was thinking, 'poo doesn't always flow downhill.'

This Cabriolet must have hurt, and we can't forget the infamous '40 Coupe. DD

Back in the mid to late 50's,, any Summer Sat night at the local dirt track, Took more old Fords out of circulation than one can imagine.

Here are some ptcs I took a few years ago at a local junkyard. Not all Fords but cool cars. Notice the Airflow laying on its side, there was 2 of them and the other was already heading to the recycler that day. Heartbreaking!

This Cabriolet must have hurt, DD

Probably did , but the driver survived with no side affects. Thats the well known wreck of his Royal Highness, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.
Later on he started buying Ferrari,s.
