Now THAT's my kind of junkyard! I could roam around in there for hours & not get bored. I love old cars, cultural refuse, technotrash, & home-cooked artwork. Great find, CB!
At 16:37 the car is a 1972 plymouth Duster. The Dodge Demon was the other one in the Mopar line. Cool to rebuild. Not many on the road any more. Thank you for giving us geezers a chance to reflect.
At 5:05 the "little clown car" is actually a Fiat 500. This one is one of the original Italian versions and is even smaller than the new one. There are about 10 zillion of them in Italy. The 500 is for a 500 CC motor.
Thank You Spencer. Loved the video and your unique attention to detail. I have visited Old Car City a couple of years ago and will be back there in two weeks time. It is an amazing place and your day goes by so fast. This time I will slow things down and try to observe more and shoot less shots but hopefully shoot better quality. Thank you for keeping the roots of photography alive. Steve Powell U.K.
That RV @ 11:00 is like a Holiday Rambler, maybe made by the same company. They were top of the line RV's in their day, which was the 1970's. I lived in a Holiday Rambler 5th wheel for a year and a half.
As far as I can tell, that's a 1963 Dodge 330 station wagon at 9:02. Not a hearse, just a family wagon. I inherited one of those from my grandmother for my first car. It was white. But it had a red interior like this one. Even in 1980 it was impossible to find these in junk yards. Needed a tailgate window. Never found one.
That's what I was thinking. I get the whole 'museum' aspect... but that only applies if it's being preserved... which obviously this isn't! People would get more enjoyment out of these cars if they were restored or if their parts were used for restorations. Such a waste, as cool as it is.
I agree, I do like looking at cars in this condition, as when you look at them you see what they were/what they could become. In sense when we look at these cars we really see the restored state and not the rusted heap that a non-car person sees. And the reason we look at these cars is because we desire to restore them and bring them back to life, not to poke around in a junk pile, as that's what most likely what the owners are thinking.
Voice of reason Jeff, here is an article with a quote from the owner: "Like all good art, Old Car City is not without controversy. Collectors hoping to score a bargain leave the place grumbling and dissatisfied. “Everything is for sale,” Dean told us, “But only at a price that makes it worth it for me. If I sell this, it’s gone. I don’t have it anymore. I can’t replace it.” So it is not a junk yard it is a grave yard. Art? RRrrigh-t.
Pretty crazy looking place....l actually live about 20 minutes from there.....passed by many times but never actually thought of stopping in...until now that is!
@@rebeccabritt4505 Right outside of Cartersville Ga....l believe the town is call White Ga...you head north on 411 out of Cartersville and it is on the right side of the road several miles from l-75.
I am sad to see these old classic cars and trucks, sitting there, with "kindling" on them. I seen a few or more Mercury's! I would like to go there. Honestly. I mean who would not? i think and know you made the place more popular now Carpetbagger! Thank you, for the video of, OlD Car City, U.S.A.!
Jacob, this was a very cool vlog!!!!!!!!! You're so right about the colors of cars back then and how bland the are now in comparison, it's sad!!! What a vehicle cemetery!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to film this!!!
There's an old car yard called Car Corral in Sanger, north of Fort Worth on I-35 but they try to preserve them in the best possible condition as it's a "Pull A Part" place for people restoring an old cars.
I was just there last week... This is an absolutely fantastic video to get someone excited to go see it for themselves!!!! What got me excited was the show on MotorTrend on demand called junkyard gold
Oh man, that place is so awesome! I bet there are many salvageable cars in there, that resored would be worth a lot of money!! Some of them are found in big Museums!!! So many beautiful classics in there. I would love to see them all! I love old cars n trucks so much!!!! I wish I was rich, I would go rescue them n restore them !!!!!!!!! Thx for going there, I never knew that place existed. More people should learn of that place n go get them a beautiful classic to restore n cherish!!!
Glad to see you found this place--dad and I and my wife "tripped" over it last summer on a motorcycle trip and had to stop and see what it was all about. Watch out for a large, local, older gentleman who walks with a cane--he "trapped" us for quite a while and went on and on about the "amazing vision someone had to have to make this place a reality..." I don't know about vision--if I recall, it was an operational junkyard that got passed down a generation to someone who couldn't make money selling parts so he keeps the paths mowed and charges you $15 bucks to walk through. "Vision" or not, I guess it worked...the three of us paid them $45 to get in! Anyway, don't forget to buy your Old Car City 2018 calendar on Facebook ;-) Always enjoy your videos!!!
Bro, thanks for sharing your journey. I appreciate the glimpse into the saga of the carpetbagger. Keep on Keepin' on like the car said. I'm subbin' just to see what's next. Cheers!
😂 The highlight of our weekends was hitting the junk yard with our dad. Lol I can't tell you how many cars I saw that I remembered, that once was road worthy. AND the last time I took mass transit was exactly like the bus you sat in! 😂 Thanks for the memories, CARPETBAGGER!😉❤
I've been watching the playlist of you and your videos and some of them are creepy, interesting and full of Americana so I subscribed, mostly because you seem like a pretty good guy. Thanks for making all this available. PS my oldest son is gettin ready to marry a young woman from England and she is fascinated by all the cultural varieties over here. Next time I talk to my son I will tell him to let his bride to be know about this channel!. I bet she will be impressed.
Dang young man, I was naming off every car you was passing by me being from Detroit. I used to drive a Hurst of course all decked out in my 10th and 11th year in high school. had a lot of fun with it used to sneak friends into drive-in movies LOL. thanks for the movie carpetbagger yeah love me some junk yards.
Wowzers! I wanna go here! Surprised to see a 2 door post 56 Chevrolet on that car circle! Some of these cats are junk, but a few definitely looked restorable! Those fins are a 60 and 58 Cadillac! Spotted one Corvair! That'd be my art car! Corvairs are awesome little cars!
My kind of vlog .Looked like most of the cars were from the 40s50s60s70s a few from the30s the rag tops are most desirable and the Dodges.Have a great big beataful tomorrow Jacob. aka Bruce
The camper you looked in was one of the more expensive models back in its day and the rounded Art Deco school bus is a Crowne brand they were very popular buses out in California for many years they too were well made Many people convert them into motorhomes Because of the Art Deco look they have the ceiling fan Propeller is pretty funny Cool tour filled with Americana and history
Fantastic and even amazing. SUGGESTION- very close to the United Airlines 93 allegedly crash site. In PA is a massive I mean MASSIVE junk yard that may interest you. Besides I would love your stylings on the memorial site AND the small chapel/church nearby
Hi there, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed absorbing the video. In return I have some walks highlighting classic cars looking spectacularly well looked after in Cuba to show the contrast?
That is a Riviera..pronounced Riv-ee-era. Buick beauty. Many of these derelicts are highly collectible, very much sought after. Many are reproduced in fiberglass, but to find a steel original shell is potentially ...astounding to say the least.
Im less than 30 miles from old car city. It is sad to see all those cars sitting rotting away, they use to sell parts I bought quite a few from the old man. Don't know why they stopped. Some hard to find parts in that junk yard.
Yessir. You would have to talk to Benny Davis or Malcom Neyer about any parts or vehicles. But keep in mind. To take a car ya gotta leave a car else they wont sell it.
Thanks that was really something. Hard to tell what some of those cars were (Ya moved kinda fast) but I knew what about 1/3 of them were. These are cars I grew up with. It was a time when it was really something to see someone with a new car. You could tell what kind of car you were meeting on the road, not like now. Who knows what kind of Hyundaotoyaforchevkialexadodgiac that car is that I just met!!! Someday I might get to Georgia to see this,--- now where is that paper with my bucket list on it?
Indeed~it brought to mind memories of our summer drives dn to Mississippi/Louisiana when I was a kid - everybody & our luggage all smooshed into the teeny Opal Cadet, then me & my dog Fluffy in Daddy's old white station-wagon, & later all of us & Fluffy in Mom's blue Ford Pinto. No seatbelt laws quite yet, so me & the dog could stretch out in back w/the cooler, blankets, my books & roadgames & look out the window, or throw a pillow between the folks & watch out front. The earliest trips were pre-interstate, so there were lots of oddly graded, winding country roads until we made it to the south, then paved straight lines as far as the eye could see. Sigh. I wanna go on a road trip now...
about halfway through the video you ran across an old 63 Dodge polara wagon where you said is it a wagon or a hearse. that was interesting because for about 10 years back in the mid 1980s thru mid 1990s I owned a 63 Dodge polara 500 2 door hardtop that I fixed up into a hot rod
Most of those cars can be saved and back on the road. Because the parts that are damaged are usually replaced anyway when a car gets updated to keep up with cars nowadays.
It's also disturbing how the "cudasac" it primarily composed of desirable vehicles. @16:48 one of the vehicles on my wish list was the red Cadillac and there was several more valuable cars throughout the video. I doubt that many of the vehicles out there would remain if the inventory was reviewed by a knowledgeable estimator. It is great that everything still exists rather than being crushed but still very sad is the state of things and the earth reclaiming everything
Now THAT's my kind of junkyard! I could roam around in there for hours & not get bored. I love old cars, cultural refuse, technotrash, & home-cooked artwork. Great find, CB!

This beaks my heart, soo many beautiful cars dead and left to rot
Thay might sell some

Car guys are dying of parts envy while watching this. Love it
Spars part Heaven.I wona go there.
Unless they sell parts, that is a waste of some great old cars, sad to see so many classics just rotting away for no reason.
I agree Jeff! :)
It was a weird ass, dog shit junkyard.
That's what I was thinking. I get the whole 'museum' aspect... but that only applies if it's being preserved... which obviously this isn't! People would get more enjoyment out of these cars if they were restored or if their parts were used for restorations. Such a waste, as cool as it is.

I love junkyards. This is the coolest one I've ever seen
Tampa Jay I must agree... that's the king of all junk-yards!
I am sad to see these old classic cars and trucks, sitting there, with "kindling" on them.
I seen a few or more Mercury's!
I would like to go there.
Honestly.
I mean who would not?
i think and know you made the place more popular now Carpetbagger!
Thank you, for the video of, OlD Car City, U.S.A.!
I love the footage when you set the camera down, get in the cams view, and have a seat and take a minute to ponder.
It's a feral car zoo! That is AWESOME! Thanks, Jacob. I would totally dig going here some day.
Jacob, this was a very cool vlog!!!!!!!!!

The car at 14:33 is probably a Hearse/ambulance back in the day, the funeral home did both.
Should have flown the drone there
Excellent video thanks for stopping by!

Yeah Wayne's Feed is still open. It got taken out by the tornado we had, but they built it back in the same place it was.
Edsel @ 3;30, Trans Am @ 5:52, Vega @ 7:02, Mustang and Firebird @7:40, Ranchero @12:34-some cool stuff!
That's a Mercury not Edsel
In my opinion I'd rather just see the cars as they were. Not all the artsy fartsy sculptures and "writtings".
Typical roadside attraction style.
Probably an attempt at keeping the girlfriend happy when she's been dragged around scrap yards by car nut boyfriend
Yes I agree lots of 2 door ht on top of each other also what the he'll are you going to do with that they must be high
There were so many old mustangs, its almost painful to see them in that condition lol
Also a good amount of old chargers
5:17 1955 or 1956 Buick Special coupe .

16:59 OMG 1959 CADILLAC
At 13:57 that Greenish-brown car thats halfways up the bed of the red truck.. that is a Dodge Charger R/T those are worth alot!
I thought that was a charger.........
Mormor Veteran it is actually a super bee. there is a charger in the same shot. though. it's on top. greenish blue. also in the intro shot
I thought the same thing!
The greenish blue car on the top is actually a 1965-1966 impala
That silver car is a late 60's lemans convertible. Very sought after for gto clones😨
You wonder how many lives lost, what about the lives created in the back seat of those cars?!
My siblings and I were all created on my Dads 1970’s California King waterbed.
David Siler lol, I've always wanted to lay on a waterbed
The stories these cars had. Fascinating...
Great video, Jacob! Did you even see anyone else all day, or were you the only visitor that day?
One photographer
I loved the old cadillac, think it was a 53'. So cool.
I'm a big time car guy. I've got to check this place out.
You'd love it
So Jacob, are any of these junkers still for sale, or is it now just a tourist attraction?
Cool junkyard vidow.liked how they stacked up
I got to find this place!!! A must see this place with my own 2 eyes
Pretty cool place! Nice job man 👍
Dang young man, I was naming off every car you was passing by me being from Detroit.

Thanks for the tour, some of those old coca cola items in there are time period also and just as important as cars. Good stuff.
Omg!.. Walkarusa is 10miles from me! & i used to work at a dealership that took over Holiday World RV and became Monaco Coach back in the late 90's
The cars returning to earth.....in an artistic presentation! Love it!
I love a good junkyard.
I like how the bus at 5:13 the doors been open so long the tree has grown around it
Old cars are speaking a great Story and have a soul❤
I love that Volkswagen bus! Restored can be really expensive! (I’m a classic Volkswagen kind of guy!

Hey Jacob do you have snakes and other nasties over there???. I would be worried about coming across them!!
It was probably too cold
Oh my you do have them!! That stops my thoughts about wandering!!
Well done video, amazing place with great narration. Thanks for sharing:-)
Awesome old cars and trucks
The camper you looked in was one of the more expensive models back in its day and the rounded Art Deco school bus is a Crowne brand they were very popular buses out in California for many years they too were well made Many people convert them into motorhomes Because of the Art Deco look they have the ceiling fan Propeller is pretty funny Cool tour filled with Americana and history
Cool place where is this location?
Thank You Jacob...amazing video
Fantastic and even amazing. SUGGESTION- very close to the United Airlines 93 allegedly crash site. In PA is a massive I mean MASSIVE junk yard that may interest you. Besides I would love your stylings on the memorial site AND the small chapel/church nearby

Very cool, thanks for posting this
Really Enjoyed That , Thanks

That is a Riviera..pronounced Riv-ee-era. Buick beauty.
Many of these derelicts are highly collectible, very much sought after. Many are reproduced in fiberglass, but to find a steel original shell is potentially ...astounding to say the least.
Im less than 30 miles from old car city. It is sad to see all those cars sitting rotting away, they use to sell parts I bought quite a few from the old man. Don't know why they stopped. Some hard to find parts in that junk yard.
ah yes but is anything for sale?
:)
Yessir. You would have to talk to Benny Davis or Malcom Neyer about any parts or vehicles. But keep in mind. To take a car ya gotta leave a car else they wont sell it.
probably anything old 1940-1977
Shout out to the 1982 Ford Fairmont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗
Thanks for the great day be safe and careful take care . GOD bless

Do they sell to the public
pt2 with the drone?
is the sign the owner's ?
:)
That was so cool love the ole cars
Do they still sell parts from these cars in this junkyard?
