  • Tom Cotter's 1939 Ford Woodie wagon comes to the rescue once again in this week's episode of Barn Find Hunter. While Tom is having lunch in Midland, Texas, a man takes kindly to the old Woodie and strikes up a conversation that leads to a whole day's worth of finds. The tip yields plenty of cool hot rods as well as a Plymouth and Pontiac that could be sale… for right price, of course.

    Tom, for another great find... there is a car junk yard in Huachuca City AZ on Rt.90 called Ft. Auto Parts that has a lot of classic old cars that the next time you find yourself in the Tucson would be worth your time to travel there to see. It is roughly an hour out of Tucson on the way to Ft.

    I just saw an old 60s fishbowl bus rotting on the side of the road being used as a firewood shack. Had an ok looking engine in it so i climbed the hill to find a house surrounded by a hilltop of vintage cars, trucks, fire trucks, RVs, boats, etc, as far as the eye can see, and more out of sight. 10 miles out of seattle. Stuff's out there.

    OK, after a while you figure out what the deep psychological forces that compel folks to restore old cars. The great thinkers and philosophers of old realized thousands of years ago that certain forms and designs are timeless and pleasing to humans. The folks that are restoring these cars are seeking to restore and revive ancient and timeless forms that have been swept aside by modernity. Art and form are part of the human psyche that can't be totally extinguished.

    I have no idea who you're talking to when they say there's no old cars left. They've built 100's of millions of cars over the past 100 years or so.
