While I was off crossing mountain ranges in my beater Civic , tipster Douglas shot me an email with a photo of a startling junkyard find back in California. Would you believe that a '49 Ford sedan, in seriously rough shape but fairly complete, showed up at an East Bay self-service junkyard? So many questions! How did the rat-rodders overlook this car?

The Bel Air was the midpriced...
