How many FL cars can you spot in these pics. I would like to make a giant jigsaw puzzle out these.

2nd pic is either a PhotoShop or of model/toy cars. It does have a 1959 Imperial bottom row, left of center

I don't think it is. Why do you say that?

At the top of the first picture there is a white/copper Regal Lancer! ....with a truck smashed through it's roof. There's a light blue '59 Dodge 2dr Lancer just 7 cars down from it too.

When I drove by 61 Chrysler to work one day, one of the older truck drivers who park their truck where I work tells me he used to work at a scrap yard back in the late 60's early 70's when he was younger. He said he crushed so many cars like mine back then then, he wishes he could go back in time and save them. He said no one he worked with at the time (including himself) could have ever imagine that the out of style big finned cars would be worth anything 50-60 years later.

I'm counting eight FLs in the first picture. From highest to lowest,
'57 Desoto
'55 Chrysler New Yorker
'57 Dodge CRL
'57-58 Plymouth
'57 Desoto
'57-58 Plymouth
'56 Chrysler
'59 Dodge

The second picture, I see the '56 Dodge, a '59 Imperial, and a couple of Valiants. Anything else?

Not sure but isn't this a 55 or 56 Chrysler?

there are in fact places that can make a photo into a puzzle and I do not think it's expensive. I for one would love to purchase a puzzle of this if you got it done.

The first case was cleared. How about these ones, how many FLs?

Shame, most of them look pretty solid for 68. Looks like a 1960 Dodge ragtop in the last group of photos

That makes me sick. The second picture shows about 2 or 3 rows deep of those car stacks. I wonder how many are really there that we cannot see, like maybe the depth is 20 stacks or something. How terrible is that thought.

KcImperial - 2018-09-21 1:57 PM 2nd pic is either a PhotoShop or of model/toy cars. It does have a 1959 Imperial bottom row, left of center

There's a green and white 1956 Dodge at top left corner and a 1962 Valient in the center underneath a Corvair wagon.
