I was on vacation recently and ran across this used car lot. I've got more pictures if interested. I'll need to scrub the location data and blurr address/names/phone numbers first.

If interested please send me $100.00 USD for location. LOL

Wow. What a cool place! Don’t know where you were, but you can’t look at these without assessing the restore possibilities.
What’s the story here?

Middle of town. Out west. We were just driving thru. I stopped on the way back to take pictures. I'll try to post more later.

Love to get one of those early 50's Ford trucks. My Shelby 500 drivetrain would look good in that machine!

I KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!

In order to keep it secret I won't tell where it is just yet. I live just 3 miles away from that lot. Every time I drive by it makes me want to restore a car. What Ken didn't show is that it is two lots. There is aother lot across the street with even more cars, some of which are in better condition. Heck, if anybody on the forum wants information, prices, pictures, phone number, etc. just shoot me a PM and I'll check it out. I honestly live 5 minutes from there.

Here are some pictures from street view on Google Maps.

Looks like New Deal Used Cars. Is there a salesman there named Rudy?

Correct, that is the lot!

I really need to stop in some day and see what they have.

Good detective work. I scrubbed the meta data if you tried that. Delta Co. Here are more photos to help you see what they have.

Those are great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Did you buy anything while you were there?

no, just passing thru. One of the day trips was to a car museum.
drive north almost to Grand Junction, and head west on 141. In Gateway, there is the Gateway Car Museum. Not a large collection, but diverse. Owned by the Owner of Discovery. Hendricks.
Link to location: https://goo.gl/maps/GjhTYUykeLmoF4Ze9

It is located in the Gateway Canyons Resort. Very nice. Very Good restaurant. The kind of place you spend $500 per night, two nights minimum. So a few pictures. BTW, nice ride along 141 to get to it.

The drive through Gateway is gorgeous. That is going to be one of the many loops I take when my Mk4 is finished.
