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.

Besides the masses of videos about lost places and abandoned cars, I actually got, when I open Youtube on my smartphone, I just read in the local newspaper of my former hometown, that on the parking behind my old school there is an abandoned Maserati Quattroporte V.
Back in the years, when it was worth, I had for such abandoned cars, which already got the large red sticker of the town council on the windscreen (in Berlin called "Take what you need sticker") a small screwdriver (for the badges) and an original VW metal cramp for removing Audi and VW (except K 70) hubcaps in my pocket.
For metallen hubcaps without the two little holes for the cramp I used the key for our back garden door, which had the perfect shape for that purpose.

That's pretty cool, ingo! Is there a link to the video? For me, I hope there's a video out there saving a poor junkyard MDX.

Err, no, there is no video, I wrote newspaper
So there is only a link to the article.
Behind the paywall, but the visible photo is
the only one of the car itself in the printarticle

About a MDX I cannot help you - the videos, the algorythm shows me, are nearly all from Europe - where Acura never was sold.
