Visited another Wrecker
Permalink  

We went for a trip to Lundar with the baby yesterday and we stopped at the wrecker in St Laurent on the way.
I was able to go through pretty much the whole yard while my wife stayed in the truck and tried feeding the baby.
The baby fought off the wife for about an hour before my wife was fed up and ready to leave.

Well these rural wreckers definately have some cool cars left in them...

'70 Chevelle 2 dr HT.  Colour combo would have looked like nice in it's prime.

One of the neatest cars I saw.  A '60 Frontenac 4 dr sedan. 
This was a one year only produced by Ford of Canada and it was based off of the Ford Falcon.
Just like the Acadian, it was made so Mercury and Meteor dealers had a compact car they could sell on their lots.
I've never seen one before.

Again a Ford, but pretty neat to see a fastback with some parts left on it.

Nice,  i've been there lots.
You went at a good time(fall).  in the summer most of it is burried in 10ft tall grass and swamp.

the 63 pontiac is a canadian parisienne.
You missed the 3 or 4   66/67 chevelle 4drs in the bush right behind it.
Otherwise, looks like you found most of the old stuff.
some really neat cars in there but are picked over pretty good.

I was wondering too. Is that the framework for the center pushbutton in the back of the seat?

Sure looks like were the centre push button is, looks like the rod that attaches to it is hanging to the back of it.

I saw it too when i was there.  it is a 66/67 GP for sure.

I have one of thoses from a 66 Grand Prix 2dr, with no center button.
I guess the 67 is the same, only with a center button?

If you look in the extreme bottom right corner of the pic, is that the other hard back? i'm sure it was lying in the car too.

Because there's so many registries now and I'm not 100% sure on which poncho's are canadian vs american I added more tag pics. Next time I'll snap pics of all of them and let you add which are needed.
Added tag pics of the following: 2 x '72 Lemans, '70 Chevelle with the roof cut off, '73 Ventura and the 283 canadian pontiac (sorry, got excited about the valve covers and forgot to shoot a pic of the whole car.)

For those discussing the bench seat in the '63 parisienne, next time I'm there I'll try to shoot more pics of it. 
I'm hoping to head back there some time and maybe find an elusive '62-'65 nova/acadian in my travels.

Thanks for the pics.
Always an afternoon well spent when one gets to go exploring in a bone yard.
