Pud's Wrecker (photo)
« on: December 12, 2005, 12:30:00 PM »


Anyone remember when you could walk into a wrecker and see beetles and buses stacked up? I remember going to Allied in surrey and them having 30-40 cars in the lot all aircooled.

The above shot was taken at Pud's wrecker in the interior. Many of the ASF members will know this wrecker and have bought much from him over the years. He was difficult to buy from but he had great stuff.

Look at the pic, The bus is a 58 panel from what i remember, there is a T34 ghia, single cab's, beetles and even a Barndoor with opening rear hatch. (A friend cut that one up)

I have a few other pic's i'll post.

I never did make it in there (always seemed to roll through on weekends), but have heard many great stories about that place.  Think there is anything left up there?  Even any bay window stuff?

Most of all the early stuff was gone last time I was there, I heard a rumor that the land was sold? It may all be gone now. There was all kinds of stuff there, Keiser, Super Bee, Studebakers, 50's Cadilac, Lot's of VW's Most of my pic's got lost but i'll see what I can find.
