Not a junkyard, but I saw this 194?-53 Renault Juvaquatre fourgonnette a few days ago during a walk a few kilometers away from my home:
Not sure that something can be saved
I also shot this 1956-60 Dauphinoise Break (same car, with a few changes), but a year ago:
This one could certainly be saved, but for now it's an "abandoned but working" car: it's used as advertisement by a bakery, but, without maintenance, it decays progressively in the parking lot of the said bakery

Sorry, I cannot find the abandoned-dealer-thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AbandonedPorn/comments/x68obp/an_abandoned_volvo_dealer- ship_near_malmedy/
Although I had been some times to the nice spare parts market in that town and had mde made vacations in the village on the German side of the Haute Venn, I haven't heard anything about this find.
P.S. thanks to ZLAT, who just sent me the link.

That abandoned Volvo dealership in Belgium is still unchanged, same cars in the showroom since at least 2009, although the ones outside have been removed.
