2023 LIST FREDDY THE JUNKYARD DOG…AND POPS I’ve loved cars as long as I can remember. When I’m not busy salivating over model kits, I’m looking at cars on the road for anything to get excited about. There isn’t much of that these days, especially in the throes of what’s been an especially trying winter here in Buffalo, but soon car nuts will be extricating their rides out of storage and it will once again be car show season. I’m not only captivated by beautiful classic cars, but the opposite end of that delight visual sensory delight-junk. When I was barely old enough to walk, I used to watch my dad work on cars. Other than reading up on cars through books and magazines, keeping an eye on dad doing his best to keep our cars on the road was the best way to learn about them. He preferred to work alone when I was very young, but in my pre-teen years I was enlisted as the resident gofer. I wanted to be more useful, but I didn’t have his experience. Dad knew I loved cars, and in trying to save money to put bread on the family dinner table, he would frequent junk yards for used parts that could be helpful. I’ve always had a special spot in my heart for salvage yards, but still can’t exactly explain why. My mom occasionally reminds me of my affectionate term for the neighborhood junk yard, which was crashed up wrecked up junk yard!! I vaguely remember using that term, but after nearly 60 years that memory is fainter than I would like. In the 60’s, we had a 60 Comet wagon, which was a terrible car, a 65 Fairlane wagon, which was terrific, and a 63 Fairlane, which lasted less than two years due to a faulty front suspension. With only dad working at that time, money was scarce and going to a mechanic for every little problem was out of the question. To save money, dad fixed the cars himself, using junk yard parts when possible. The only yard near our home in the Town of Tonawanda was less than a mile from us. I don’t recall the name, but it covered about four- square city blocks and was bordered with all sorts of makeshift fences. Any time dad went to the yard, I went with him. I couldn’t wait to look at all the rusted- out hulks, wrecks and piles of pieces all over the place. I made sure not to wander to far from him, lest I catch an earful, but I liked to look inside the cars whenever possible. I didn’t do any climbing, as I had been lectured by mom on the dangers of tetanus and didn’t want any extra shots in the arm. Dad was a deliberative thinker, and he spent plenty of time looking over each piece before a purchase was made. That gave me plenty of time to scout around. In late summer 1969, we moved to suburban Williamsville and that was the end of perusing the Tonawanda junk yard. Our three Fords were replaced by a new 1973 Valiant and Ford Country Sedan wagon. Instead of buying used, dad went to the parts department at the dealer, or to a parts store. Mom had re-entered the workforce and money was a lesser issue. During the 70’s, I helped dad with car repairs, both minor and major. There were tune ups and coolant flushes, but big- time jobs like heater core replacements, as well as water pumps and radiators. Some of this work killed dad’s back and I had to help with work inside the car, particularly with the heater core. Talk about a pain in the back. Washing and waxing of both cars was left to my sister and I. I hated using dad’s choice of liquid wax, preferring paste wax, but the results were still good. I lost my mojo for junkyard crawls until the early 80’s, when my wife was living in East Buffalo and barely getting by. I had taken possession of the Valiant, and now needed to save every cent I could. My junkyard of choice was (and still is) a very large place on Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo. The first time I went there I saw a very fast but strange looking dog running around the yard. Too bad it wasn’t a dog. It was a very fast rat. I used that yard for brake drums, wheels, and other items that would have been too expensive to buy through a store. Those savings helped us keep going until my wife graduated college and got a job at Children’s Hospital. Remarkably, in 2023, I find myself needing a saver spare wheel and tire for her 2013 Elantra, and for what the dealer wants I might end up at Hertel Avenue again. Maybe I’ll have another run in with the rat dog! But that’s not the end of the story! One of the classic car magazines has a regular column showing reader’s classic car finds all over the USA. I’ve seen some great pics of rare cars in many of the issues. That gave me an idea about 15 years ago to bring my camera along on a trip to visit my mother-in-law in Alamogordo, New Mexico. My first trip there was a real eye opener to just how well -preserved vehicles are in the southwest. On my second trip there I scouted out a few junkyards around town and took some great pics. There were cars from the 50’s on up, many with no rust, but many with ratty interiors. My father-in-law explained to me that engines went first on cars out there due to the stress from excessive heat. However, unlike Buffalo, where the rust worm is an issue, paint faded but rust was uncommon to vehicles in the southwest. Hence, you’d see plenty of 40- year -old cars on the road, albeit with faded paint and sometimes huffing a little blue smoke. Until my father-in-law quit smoking, he too huffed a little smoke! The Tonawanda junk yard went out of business about 40 years ago, to be replaced by newer housing. The only reference point I have to its former location is a Dairy Queen that has been in Tonawanda since I was a kid. Dad and father-in-law are long gone, and I regret not taking my boys to a junk yard at least once to see if they liked it. I do believe they would have chased that rat dog around the yard at least a few times! FRED’S
