I think you will be seeing more of this.  When scrap prices are high,
it is a temptation to recycle the stuff, rather than having some
tight-wad Studebaker collector shine around once in a blue moon.
A local yard saved a row of early Kaisers, hoping someone could use the
parts.  After many years of drawing no interest at all, a collector
came along. It was said he wouldn't even pay salvage prices, for what
he wanted to cherry pick.  Eventually the guy with the portable crusher
came by and the Kaisers went away.
As much as I hate to see it happen, a dose of reality sets in.  I see
this happening now, with the people that had a 'save-a-stude' idea
years ago.
