It's a shame to see them now, but when the old guy bought them, he was probably saving them from the scrapper. Think of all the brand-new B17s that were cut up for aluminum scrap, and all the jeeps and WCs that were sold for next to nothing so ranchers and loggers butchered them into whatever kind of machine they wanted. I, too, hate to see neat old vehicles rusting away, getting buried in blackberries and settling into the mud because the grumpy old cuss who owns them won't sell them, but the way I look at it, all he did was delay the scrapping of them for 40 or 50 years. If he hadn't bought them back then, they wouldn't be here today either.
