R.I.P. country classics

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

Friend of mine used to live in Birmingham, Mi. Had his 8 stall garage go up 20-25 years ago. One of a few that he had in there was a 1957 300 C coupe. The roof on that "C' looked so absolutely nasty after the fire I wanted to cry. A wrecking yard out in Montana had ah '57 DeSoto 2 DHT and that roof no resides on the "C" and is still part of his fleet. And it looks like it did when it left the factory in '57, Jer

@Carmine - No,not really. Fire-scorched sheetmetal is pretty worthless, except for scrap. How much the other parts are going to be worth is entirely on how hot they got. An A-arm would be junk from a fire. Suspension components in general, would be weakened significantly. Wheels would be brittle. The engine (if iron) might be salvageable. Aluminum? Nope.

Pity. Some nice cars burned there...
