Imagine a car lot where the owner walked away almost 60 years ago and left his inventory behind—that would be Cold War Motors.
The cars are far from mainstream in 2022, but the Cold War lot would have been a little off-the-beaten path even then because it is full of unloved iron—many of them orphan cars like Packards.
There’s a surprising number of Plodges (Canadian Dodges) on the Cold War lot.
This may be hard to believe, but many of these cars actually yard drive–although brakes and clutches are optional.
In reality—most of this car crop was assembled over the last decade, so it has no historical roots like an abandoned 60s lot would have, but it sure has the vibe of a sketchy 60s car lot.
Check out the entire inventory at Cold War Motors—it’s the coolest permanent car show on the planet. Better yet–it’s never been postponed because of the plague.
