I want that ramp truck..
Actually the area was once a train car foundry, it goes way back. It's been broken up and the many buildings are rented out to who knows who. I do know that there are cars shipped out of there on a regular basis. They come in and out of there on car haulers or roll backs. I followed him there because I liked it too. Somewhere on this thread there are pictures of the many classic cars I posted from there.

The place that painted my car also buys and sells classic cars and trucks (actually their primary business).
The past 2 out of 3 times I was by there, they had a 41-46 chevy ramp truck and a 39-47 Dodge ramp truck.
Sure would have liked to get a closer look at the Dodge and maybe get an "as-is" price.
Last time both were moved and couldn't see them and it kinda looked like they might be getting in more late model wreck stuff.
The place is a blast from the past, buildings with painted numbers on them and the fact that endless numbers of rail cars of all kinds were built there. My father in law worked there in the 40's. I had a sales book, hard backed catalog with all the different types of cars in it. They built private car for the super rich also. American Car and Foundry Company - Wikipedia
Next time I go out, I'll go by and take some pictures of the place. This one is just inside by the main gate, what use to be by the guard shack.
A few inside
Took out the '63 today for a few pics I've been meaning to get, and a "Good Night" ride, topped the tank off, and "off to bed"...
Love the color!!! The hood is the only giveaway as to what would happen to you if you pull along side of that time machine. Very nice!
There are so many sweet rides that are tucked in for the winter. One last chance to Let The Horses Run!! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm a little late to the party, as this was last Wednesday. I needed to get the Magnum tucked away for winter, and have been too busy. I was going to be tied up with MCACN Thursday through Sunday, and weather outlook for this week looked sketchy. So after I got home after work last Wednesday and the weather was dry and in the 50s, I fired up the car, warmed it up, changed the oil in my driveway using a portable light so I could see, then put Stabil in the tank and took it out for 20 minutes or so to circulate the stabilizer and top off. Stopped at a strip mall up the road from me for a quick holiday spirit picture, then into the garage to hibernate until April or May. Winter, ugh.
I haven't seen a sweet Magnum in awhile!! A very nice combination in colors!! This thread was made for us to show off what you brought and yes, you did good!! Thanks for sharing.
Went and took some pictures of the old car foundry. The place sits on the riverfront and runs about a quarter mile in line with old main street. Main street was the first settlement for what would become the first state capital of Missouri and President James Monroe signed a proclamation on August 10, 1821 for Missouri to become the 24th state, it remained the seat of government until 1826, then moved to Jefferson city. It was the starting point of Lewis and Clark's expedition west. I've posted a lot of pictures of main street and at one point in the 60's and 70's it went to hell and people avoided it as the city grew up on higher ground and main street was left behind and was taken over by the bums and whore houses and became an eye sore. As far as property today, it's short of a gold mine and investing in it over the years filled many people's pockets and still does, those of us that may not have seen it coming, but could feel it, are happier for it today, everyone loves history!
The first state capital on main street as it looks today. You can see the river through the gangway.
The car foundry as it sits today. My Father-in-law worked there in the forties and I had every check stub he ever made from there. Many famous people and companies had train cars built here and shipped worldwide. Today many companies have moved into each and every building and a new future is being started though the use of a truly fun site to wander around in. If you listen real hard, you can almost hear the thousands of voices that once worked here many, many years ago.
