The owner is turning 65 soon and will start crushing the cars very soon. He is starting with the worthless vans and rotted junk. Walking through the yard for an hour or so I realized how much I still love old cars, Edsels and 62 Belvederes were jumping at me all over. The place is only 8 miles from my house so I'll be making a trip back soon, sorry I waited so long.

Onee of the 60 or so cars I've had in my life was a '58 Edsel Citation Convertible-one of 930 made. It was a tired old daily driver when I saw it, I asked the owner what he was going to do with it, he said to give him $400.00 for it, I did, it lived at my house for a few years, then I sold it to a collector who had it for almost 30 years until he sold it to another collector in Pennsylvania. It still lives and has a good home. Those old yards are irreplaceable. Few survive today.
