This afternoon I went to a place here in Liberty that I've driven by almost every day for the past 30+ years but never stopped to look around. It's called "Ole Bill's Auto Salvage and Museum. It's an absolute treasure trove (not to mention maze) of several hundred unrestored, rusting antique cars and trucks. All but a few are outside and scattered over about 4 acres of ground. And there are piles and piles of junk parts everywhere. I think the newest vehicle there is probably 15 years old, but the majority of them are from the 1920's - 40's. I've known they were here for a long time, but like I said, I never bothered to stop and look around.

The so-called "museum" is a collection of ramshackle wooden buildings and is no longer open. However, the owner (he's the son of the founder, "Ole Bill") gave me permission to walk all around and take pictures. His only request was that I not go into any of the buildings. Most of the buildings are open from the backside, so I stood in the doorway to take a few photos. Altogether, I shot 105 pictures while there. It will take me a while to get them worked up (I shot RAW files), but there should be some good ones in the bunch. This place is like the prototype Quincy's, I think.

Here are a few samples of what I saw. The lighting levels of the interior shots were "Photoshopped" so the details could be seen. If there's interest, I'll post additional photos as I get them processed and resized for posting.
