When new car customers came with a trade in,he took their used vehicles to a nearby farm he owned and stored them there...forever,never to be resold.
He wanted to sell new cars,not used,as the profit margin was greater for him,and he didn't have to worry about warranting used cars either.
That's the way his mind worked.

Exactly right. Nor was Lambrecht the only small dealer in the area who operated on similar principles; there were several. Unfortunately, most of those other collections were either sold for scrap and crushed in the 80's or left to deteriorate until they were in worse condition than the cars in Pierce. Not an unusual practice in this part of the world.

I looked at buying these cars with a partner back in about 1999. The numbers didn't work out, for obvious reasons. Even 15 years ago, most of these things were too rough even to make good parts cars.
