426 pack Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I spent the day adventuring through my great grandparents farm today looking for some cool stuff, do it every time I go there and always find something new. this time I found a handful of vehicles I never seen before on the banks of a small creek. Im not sure on the year of this one but it appears to be a 50s Plymouth and right beside it was something i have never even heard of before, a simca vedette made in France with a flathead V8 that looked a lot like a Ford Flathead (I didn’t get a picture of the engine) as well as a 50s Chevy cab that looked to be in pretty good shape I found the other parts of the truck in a steel pile quite a ways away in very bad shape. And then way off the edge of the valley there was a 50s Fargo cab that looked like it was rolled down the hill but in very good shape, the box and front clip were closer to the top in good shape as well. the best find though was a mint Ford super duty hood scoop (the same ones used on Pontiac super duty cars) off of an old mercury truck cab that I was able to get. It was missing the cast grill peace but after digging through the cab someone actually took and left it behind the seat. I am going to do my best to rescue all of the vehicles and more from the bushes and some old buildings that are full of stuff either this fall or next summer.

stitchdup Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Simca were a ford brand from france. incidentally, france was still producing flatheads until the early 80s for use in their military trucks, and brand new engines still pop up for sale occasonally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 That scoop is a cool find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The Plymouth looks like it may be a 1955-year model. Since this is your Grand Parents property do they own these cars or are they just dumped there? You might be able to save the pickups.

Brian Austin Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 By the '70s Simca was a Chrysler product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Nice selection of old iron. The Simca surely is unusual. There used to be some old hulks in the woods down the street from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 As you probably know, that scoop is real hard to find! Nice score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Cool stuff!! I love wandering through the woods looking for abandoned cars. They're getting harder to find in my area, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
