WEKurtz that car is a 1949-1951 Lincoln Sport Sedan. The rear suicide doors are the give away.

You sure it's not a former 51 Mercury?

I don't know Grt1, The Lincoln was also called the "Cosmopolitan" and I can see that name on the side of both Lincolns.

| | | | Okay, I goofed. The fender's aren't even close. I was going by the overall body shape and what appeared to me the empty spot on the front of the nose. It looked like it may have had a Mercury badge on it.

| | | | You may (or may not) remember the few pictures I snapped from Kaufdorf's car yard last summer,
(http://www.uer.ca/...page=39&pp#post761)
Like I said, when I went there in june 2010, almost everything that once sat in the woods for decades was either being sold or scrapped as asked by some dickheaded bureaucrats. I got lucky because they was still about 50 to 100 cars sitting in front of the car yard, waiting for their demise.
Long story short, I happened to be in the area last week again and decided to head back there to see if there was still something interesting to see.
This is the place where the cars were initially located:
And this is where they were sitting after being dragged out of the woods (this process permanently destroyed some of them):
And this is all what is left:
Upper level from left to right: Volkswagen Polo Mk3 estate (?), Honda Civic, Volkswagen Polo Mk3, Peugeot 306, Opel Vectra estate, Renault Clio Mk1
Lower level: Mercedes Benz W120 (?), Austin Minor (?), Opel Astra Mk3
Front: Fiat Punto Mk1, crushed Opel Kadett
Upper level from left to right: Unknown, unknown, Polo Mk3 (with white Toyota Cressida estate behind), Peugeot 106 Mk1.
Lower level: Unknown, Mercedes Benz W120 (?), Mercedes Benz W120 (?), Mercury (?)
Quite hard to id these cars in this pic: white one is a toyota corolla, in the background is a Renault Laguna Mk1 mounted by what appears to be a Volvo V70. Dark red car in the foregroud could be a Renault 21.
As you can see on the pics I snapped, everything was either being sold or scraped, just 2 or 3 old cars (these old mercs among a few others) were now sitting on the bottom of piles of 90s euro-econocrapboxes. I felt quite sad and compelled from what I saw, what was left from that once glorious place which attracted car fans from all across europe. I left quite quickly after taking these few pictures and I really felt bitter on my way back to see that what was a jewel of automotive history like that was destroyed.
EDIT: Car naming attemp for Samurai! =)
