Junk Yard Finds
 

This isn't necessarily a mopar topic but I was at a local junk yard around me and I went to the back of the yard and found a bunch of old cars like a 68 coronet 500, a 67 barracuda fastback, and a lot of others(mopars, gm, fords). The one that caught my eye was an old 50's looking car I thought was a Buick or a Plymouth but it was a Clipper. Wth is a Clipper? Anyone ever heard of them? It has all of the chrome trim and everything still there intact. The dash is really cool looking, like nautical stuff you'd find on a ship. And btw the fastback has a backseat that is almost MINT. Its been folded down since the car was brought there and so it hasnt gotten faded or ripped. The rear glass is still good too. The place is called Bessler's U-Pull-and-Pay if anyone wants to know.

Any pics?

I've never heard of a Clipper either..... minus a barber or pair of sissors.

I have some on my phone but I dont have a chord to hook it up to my laptop. And email wont work from it either. The 500 is pretty much gone except for the main body panels, tail panel, I think some glass, and the motor, which looked like a big block. Didnt really see it well, had junk on top of it. The barracuda was yellow with most of its stuff still there. it had a 6 cyl. still in it. It was in much better shape, although I think cats lived in the trunk area. lol

i found a few old mopars sitting in a swamp at one of the junkyards i frequent. i have some old charger decals, dodge letters, and a couple of plymouth satellite emblems to add to my collection. there is also a very old dodge wagon from the 50's there. the body and frame have surface rust but nothing that cant be fixed. the motor and frame are gone and im trying to talk the guy into selling it. also found a couple of old jeep trucks like a j10 and one jeep with the slant six in it

a clipper?
really?
wow, that is an old car

its a packard made from 41-57. thats all i know. Its amazing, the number of yards that still have a few older cars sitting around.

Basically it looked like these. I remember the model too it was a Clipper Custom Deluxe. The bottom picture is the closest one I could find, almost dead on minus rust and mud.
