My kind of yard. soooo artistic .. My wife made me promise not to collect cars..She knows my collecting habits have no bounds..
Does someone live there or is it abandoned. There are some nice projects there.
Thank you very much ozmarty, Trey, crabbykins & scandinavian_pieces.
I do not think anybody lives there right now. There is actually much more vintage tin back there. As soon as I make contact, I will give an update.
ozmarty, I know the feeling, if I had my way, I would be hauling them all home!
