Recently got an email from Greg Steinmayer of Dearborn, Michigan, inviting us to check out his photos of the Warhoops junkyard - specifically of a few Motorama show cars hanging out at Warhoops before Joe Bortz discovered and subsequently bought them.
The cars are the Lasalle, Lasalle II Roadster and the Biscayne. The Lasalle was nearly complete, right down to the tires with the whitewalls down the center of the treads (the plexi windshield was inside the car.) and the phony engine. The roadster was almost completely destroyed but enough parts were left to see what it had been.
The Biscayne was missing its doors, roof, interior, chassis and trunklid. I took the photos in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s at Warhoops, a junyard located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, about 6 miles due north of GM’s Tech Center. They used to get all of GM’s stuff. Of course, with nearly 20 years gone, none of the other cars visible in the pictures remain - Warhoops has gone completely to modern iron.
The more I look at these photos, the more I think about how Bortz is a lucky lucky man.

Great Photos!!! Both the Biscayne & Lasalle Roadster were at Pebble Beach 2008 and looked great - not quite finished but looking great!
