Popular Post maint1 Posted March 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2016 Went down to N.C. Today to get this car carrier. Too far gone to restore, probably put on some tires, clean up and wipe down with some linseed oil or protectant and put outside the museum. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44456-gm-car-carrier/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Awesome!!! I am a car hauler I would love to know the circumstances... Were those '56 Chevy's brand new when that rig was parked?!? Great find! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44456-gm-car-carrier/#findComment-328520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 No they weren't new they were used cars. The yard they came from is full of cars that are just too far gone to do anything with, but there are a lot of them. Found a Weaver Wrecker crane I wanted bad, but he wouldn't part with it. Just too much to see, and I've been there twice, but pretty sad to see how far gone they are. Must be 30 Corvairs sinking into the ground with trees growing thru them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44456-gm-car-carrier/#findComment-328529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 How bad is the condition of the 56 4 door hardtop body and chassis?

Brocky Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Dave Great to see you on here again.. How is Suzie doing? Cool Find.. Too bad some people let a yard like this go instead of selling when they were restoreable..

Going to drive the 54 Diamond T with 3 diamond t on trailer. Have to put stuff on hold this week, we have the Veterans coming in Thu.
