Senior Moment From Larry
Jendras: Wall Auto Wreckers In the 50's, 60's and 70's, the stock car
owners best resource for parts was the auto salvage yard. Whether you were
starting to build a car or trying to keep the one you had running, the yard
was your main source. |

Found this pic. Boy does it bring back memories. This
is my families place opened in 1936 by Edward A. Palmer Sr. His boys all
worked there for 50 years. All fought in WW 2, came home started families
and worked in the yard till retiring in the 80’s. I worked there in the 70’s
for 5 years before moving on. My brother and cousins worked there too. Its
long gone now but it was the focal point of the family for 40 years. I have
great memories from there, and wanted to take it over but it never worked
out that way. I have this place in my blood along with all my other
relatives. Im 60 myself now, but this picture takes me right back to almost
seeing myself in it. Thanks. |
