I live in Michigan's central Upper Penninsula, and back in the early 1980s on the school bus ride there was a 1959 Caddy ambulance tucked in between some spruce trees near some railroad property at the Carlshend Junction. It was so cool, like a spaceship, but somebody hauled it off for scrap by 1984-85. The guy who owns the property now restores heavy-duty Army trucks with his Dad.
@unfinishedstudios3 жыл бұрын
Well, my dad had a scrap yard in the 80's. We've got aerial shots of the place, and you can spot at least 10 VW Buses in them. Things that'd be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Hindsight, dude. Probably sold for $25 a piece back then.

Wow! I wish I had know years ago that it was a 59. I had gone to school to do paint and body work. I found a 59 for $5000 and it had everything original, but it needed a lot of love and care to restore it. I wanted it so bad to do the same thing, but it was one of those side show Bob car dealers that wouldn't take payments. His lost out, because I would have paid double in interest. Almost 25 years later I'm still painting and doing bodywork. I'd love to see where this goes. Just a hint I've not listened to my father on an occasion or two, and it always bit me in the end. I say leave it, but never hurts to ask again, especially if those parts are hard to get. Good Luck✌

Is it possible to remake some of the parts that are on the body in fiber glass, sort or like with boats? All that is needed is the measurements and a good looking replica model to follow the designs. If they could be applied to the body to fill in some of the missing physical components it could be cheaper, wouldn't it? I know some cars have been refurbished this way and the work is so good one can't tell if it is the actual thing, till obviously it is inspected.
