Wrecked old Fords
 

Can we see some photos of old Fords that have wrecked in some fashion? Like falling off a tow truck or a building falling on it or what have you. They all didn't live out happy lives in the movies. I remember seeing one that had come off a lift while it was being worked on. That hurts. Chet/Ma.

Hit by a drunk driver on a Saturday at 3:00 in the afternoon not a pretty sight!

I hope you put it back together? If so, what does it look like now? Thanks for posting. Chet/Ma.

OK...not what you were looking for but my first job out of school was at a Porsche, Jaguar dealer. two memories I have is they had the two cylinder lifts and they had a new jag in for the first oil change. The idiot they hired to do simple things like oil changes was yacking to someone and let the back cylinder go up faster than the front. SLid the Jag off the lifts on it's nose and totaled it. Almost as good was when the owner's new 911 convertible arrived ant the guy backing it off the car carrier missed the ramp and dropped it off the truck.

Years ago when Lorin Sorensen did Fordlife magazine he dedicated an entire issue to wrecks involving Ford V-8's. Many of the photos were from insurance company files. He found a treasure trove of photos from some old files in Los Angeles.There wsas a few photos from the movies , but most concerned real life accidents.

Here's one I rolled on icy roads in 1961. I had another body on and was on the road again in 3 weeks.

That carb sure is up high. Is that a riser? Or one carb from say a thickstun intake.

It looks like a Thickstun to me - with the front carb missing.

Sad thing to see. Nice car.

Good Luck,
