Last week, while I was in Ft.Worth, I made my second visit to Browne Auto Salvage, in Sunset Texas. It is about 1 1/2 hours NW of Ft.Worth and is listed on the "'57 Ford Parts and Service Supplier Links" on the Home Page.
This is a remarkable, yard in several aspects, its overall size,several thousand cars, per the owner, and that you can drive onto the yard and drive down the rows and stop at the car you are interested in and check it out.
I've attached a photo from The Studebaker Driver's Club site,(I have a '63 Studebaker Avanti,51 years of ownership) as well as a YOUTUBE video.
To be clear, I have no vested interest in this business, just thought the Forum members would like some insight about a possible source for parts.This yard is open M-Sat, 9-5. The owner's first name is Trenton.
If you go, I'd suggest you confirm the price of what you want, before you remove the part, to avoid any issues later.
The photo was taken some time ago. On the upper left you see, two rows of cars, and a large grass (really weeds!) field. Today that field is covered in cars. There are a few Model T's a few Model A's and then 40's 50's 60's and maybe some early 70's....Maybe.
Very few if any Mustangs or Camaros.
If you watch the video until the end, the video maker states that the owner will remove the parts. That is correct, he will, but my experience was that I drove the entire yard and pulled parts from whatever was there. I bought all small parts, that I could easily bring back on a plane, for my Ranchero build, but they came from '57 Ford,'59 Ford, Mercury and Edsel.
