Vehicle recycling is the dismantling of vehicles for spare parts. At the end of their useful life, vehicles have value as a source of spare parts and this has created a vehicle dismantling industry. The industry has various names for its business outlets including wrecking yard, auto dismantling yard, car spare parts supplier, and recently, auto or vehicle recycling.
Vehicle recycling has always occurred to some degree but in recent years manufacturers have become involved in the process. A car crusher is often used to reduce the size of the scrapped vehicle for transportation to a steel mill.
Here’s a gallery of 50 haunting photos of classic car salvage yards and wrecks from between the 1940s and 1950s.
Fan Ho was born in Shanghai in 1931, but immigrated with his family to Hong Kong at an early age. Ho began photographing at a very young age with a Rolleiflex camera his father gave him. Largely self-taught, his photos display a fascination with urban life, explored alleys, slums, markets and streets, depicting the street vendors and children only a few years younger than himself.
He developed his images in the family bathtub and soon had built up a significant body of work, chronicling Hong Kong in the 1950s and 60s as it was becoming a major metropolitan center. “… I’ve always believed that any work of art should stem from genuine feelings and understandings … I didn’t work with any sense of purpose. As an artist, I was only looking to express myself. I did it to share my feelings with the audience. I need to be touched emotionally to come up with meaningful works. When the work resonates with the audience, it’s a satisfaction that money can’t buy. My purpose is simple: I try not to waste my audience’s time.” — Fan Ho, 2014 interview with Edmund Lee Ho was a Fellow of the Photographic Society of America, the Royal Photographic Society and the Royal Society of Arts in England, and an Honorary Member of the Photographic Societies of Singapore, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy and Belgium. Ho was named one of the “Top Ten Photographers of the World” by the Photographic Society of America between 1958 and 1965.

How to Marry a Millionaire is a 1953 American romantic comedy film directed by Jean Negulesco and written and produced by Nunnally Johnson. The screenplay was based on the plays The Greeks Had a Word for It by Zoë Akins and Loco by Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert.
The film stars Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, and Lauren Bacall as three gold diggers, along with William Powell, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, and Cameron Mitchell. Although Grable received top billing in the screen credits, Monroe’s name was listed first in all advertising, including the trailer.
Made by 20th Century Fox, How to Marry a Millionaire was the first film ever to be filmed in the new CinemaScope wide-screen process, although it was the second CinemaScope film released by Fox after the biblical epic film The Robe (also 1953).
How to Marry a Millionaire was also the first 1950s color and CinemaScope film ever to be shown on prime-time network television, though panned-and-scanned, when it was presented as the first film on NBC Saturday Night at the Movies on September 23, 1961.
These gorgeous photos captured portraits of classic beauties Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe together while filming How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953.
Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922) is an American singer and motion-picture actress whose performances in movie musicals of the 1950s and sex comedies of the early ’60s made her a leading Hollywood star.
While still a teenager, she changed her last name to Day when she began singing on radio. She worked as a vocalist in the bands of Barney Rapp and Bob Crosby before joining Les Brown’s band in 1940 and making several popular recordings, among them “Sentimental Journey.” Day went solo in 1947 and achieved great success as a recording artist. Her singing was distinguished by crystal clear tone and the ability to convey great emotion without histrionics.
Day’s first major film role was in Romance on the High Seas (1948). From there she made a long series of musicals, including Calamity Jane (1953), Young at Heart (1954), Love Me or Leave Me(1955), and The Pajama Game (1957). Her screen persona, that of an intelligent, wholesome woman of unfailing optimism and understated strength of character, came to epitomize the ideal American woman of the 1950s.
Day went on to star in a string of sophisticated sex comedies, notably Teacher’s Pet (1958), Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961), That Touch of Mink (1962), The Thrill of It All (1963), and Send Me No Flowers (1964). These comedies made her Hollywood’s leading box-office attraction. From 1968 to 1973 she starred in The Doris Day Show, a weekly television series.
As her acting career neared its end, Day focused her attention on animals, cofounding Actors and Others for Animals. In 1978 she founded the Doris Day Pet Foundation, and nine years later she became a founding member and president of the Doris Day Animal League, a lobbying organization for laws regulating the treatment of animals.
Day died on May 13, 2019, at the age of 97, after having contracted pneumonia.
