Since childhood Solano has always been fascinated with salvage and junkyards. His father would go to find parts for his car and Solano would immediately go off on his own. For him, it was like the greatest playground in the world. He would find a unique car and pretend he was driving. Then he would pull up the seats and open glove boxes, looking for treasure.
Solano’s father finally got tired of roaming the yards looking for him, calling out his name when he wanted to leave, so he devised a plan. He would honk his horn three times. When he did this, it meant we were ready to leave. Solano’s mother would get mad because his clothes would be dirty and she had a difficult time getting the rust out from when he would brush against a really rusty car.
Solano only wishes he had a camera back then to have a record of those days, but never thought about it at that age. Some people look at an old, rusty, and dented car and think what a piece of junk, but Solano sees at them differently, as he is sure others do. They have an aura about them. He would look at a vehicle that was smashed and try to guess how it got that way. What did it hit? What hit it? Some cars looked like they were just neglected and left to rot away. Some looked like they could be driven home.
In 2005, Solano decided he wanted to build a junkyard model and his first attempt was pretty bad. But he kept trying and eventually he had it down to a system. He did one, then another, and before he knew it, he had a small junkyard. He kept adding more cars and trucks to it, and then he started making buildings and accessorizing the yard. Solano started with plastic 1/25 scale models and then decided to look for already damaged die cast 1/24 scale Danbury and Franklin mint, and other die cast models and would turn them into “junkers” as well. Now Solano does all scales 1/43rd and larger up to 1/12 scales, so if you like old junk cars or just old cars in general, you may like this book.

This is a great coffee table book mostly all pictures not much reading I like that lol. This guy is very talented and does some amazing work hard to tell that some of these are plastic models that he has made to look like rusted metal. Many look as if they are 1:1 cars and trucks.Product details

Junkyard Models eBook Manny Reviews
These models look like real cars, but they are not. Manny is a true artist in this field of models and diorama's, which he also builds. Today Friday Sept. 4, 2015 for three days you can see his work live at the car show at the Sheridan in Mahwah New Jersey on route 17 near route 287 etc. You can see the Bonny and Clyde car, the CSI car, an old drive in theatre of the 1960's with cars of that period. I am Manny's friend but he would not want me to brag about him because he is modest in every way, however his work is astonishing when you see it live. This book gives a glimpse of artistic genius and a memory of a by gone era. If it were not for these cars and their time period, you may not exist. Your grand parents drove these cars and visited the junk yards where parts etc. were available and kept these junkers going for another week maybe a month, who knows. During that time period one did what one had to do to keep going. There were no cell phones, AAA towing, no money down financing, credit cards, easy money, super highways, television, GPS, etc. when you got stuck somewhere you were truly STUCK. Now we have all those things in our wrist watch, and they laughed at Dick Tracy. Parents told their children there will never be anything like that,, its impossible, and we still complain. Well look over these pictures and imagine your self stuck somewhere in one of these cars. Is today better than then? I don't know for sure, back then my only worry was my car. Well today is a rather good day after all, or is it? Richie
Love it>>>>>
A great book for the diecast collector or modeler. Manny's special talent in making these items look old is awesome. I enjoyed every page of the book.
A fun romp through a virtual junkyard.
