Love The Station Wagons, The Old Car Hauler, The 39 Or 40 Ford Pickup, The Square Body Chevy Truck, The Finned Cars, Heck, Just About All Of Them!! Great Job For Saving Them From The Crusher!! 👍👊
Would love to see some of those station wagons restored. Especially that Buick with stainless and ac. I don’t know why but station wagons are totally ignored by classic car collectors
The 61 Catalina Safari is another. And wagons are picking up in the market. The hardest parts to find for those old Buick and Oldsmobile wagons are the Sill plates. They do not say "Body By Fisher". They read "Body By Ionia"
This gentleman has some rare cars there. I love those old fifties and sixties cars they all have their own unique styling something we no longer have today.
What a great collection of very complete cars! Hard to believe this large group of quality cars still exist in one group in 2021. It reminds more on what you would see in an old film back in the 1970's before the cars were picked clean or crushed. Most of these cars are so complete and desirable that it makes you dream on what they looked new, how cool it would have been to be the first owner and at present dreaming about which one (would be hard to just pick one in this group) you would pick and bring it back to its original glory. I enjoy all your videos but especially like this one. Kept it up. Thanks.
Why isn't there a LOVE button andonly a Like button. A yard this cool needs a Love button. You do a great job on describing the cars. Can't waite for the other videos.
My mom and dad had a '59 Olds Dynamic 88. HUGE land yacht. But it was a nice car.....Until my dad got home one day, and the oil light went on just as a rod came thru the block......
Great stuff...what’s not to love? Looking at these is almost better than going to a car where every car is restored and then some. Looking forward the next videos.
I remember as a kid they were all over the place cheap. My older brothers in-laws still had their 2dr 59 Olds 98 low miles and they got a new 66 Caprice 2dr hardtop and sold the Olds for a couple hundred dollars. A 6 or 7 year's old car today is nothing
Beautiful cars, all from an era where you could tell a Ford from a Buick, from a Plymouth,etc. Unlike today were they all just blend together and need to read the badging to know what you are looking at. Awesome collection, thanks for sharing this. 👍✌
@@Englishsea24 It was i was 14 15 when most these cars came out The dealers all introduced the new cars in october they used to tape up the showroom windows until the reveal day. It was exciting now most of the cars look the same and come out whenever they want. Ford broke the mold when they came with the 64 Mustang in spring of 64 and the rest is history
There's a whole lot of my favorites in that yard. If I can only pick one, it's the 59 DeSoto at the very beginning of the video. It's the same model you saw in that junkyard a couple of months ago.
The pink/tan Dodge is a 1960 Polara top line model extremely scarce 2dr hardtop. I'm a huge fan of anything Chrysler products but I love that 58 Olds Fiesta and the 60 Pontiac Safari wagons.
Chris Carson, My Dad had a 60 Dodge Phoenix that looked a lot like the salmon pinkish Polara. He also had a 61 Dodge Polara. Station wagon with electric rear window tailgate. Both cars had push button transmissions. Later on in the 60's I remember the Monaco became the high end model for Dodge.
You are absolutely on track with identifying just about 99% of these beautiful American sculptures classics. Ran across your channel by accident. I have a deep endless passion for the big fin era “Forward Look” cars, along with the GM and Fords. Sharing with other classic car enthusiasts family, friends, military and law enforcement professionals. Great job, keep them coming. 👍🏻😉🚙🚕🛻🏎🚘🚔👍🏻😉🇺🇸👍🏻
That 1960 Pontiac 4 door hardtop at the very beginning is one of my dream cars. Those 4 door flat tops have great style, no matter which division they came from. I also would love to have that Invicta wagon or the 59 Olds 4 door hard too.
Very Cool! I like the fact that almost all the cars are 90% complete...not picked over junkers with all the rare stuff gone. Over half of them would be very restorable with minimal rust issues and all the trim parts. Thanks for posting!
Can we all appreciate the '59 Chevy Spartan car hauler? that thing is a beast! factory V8, too. That'd be literally the ultimate truck if you have a restoration shop and want a classic rig to go pick up other classics. And if it were me, i wouldn't throw a diesel in it or F450 frame swap it like most guys would, they had 348's in them so they would haul just fine. I'd get it as stock as I could, and restore it right, but don't think for a moment that it wouldn't be a work truck. I wish there was a better look at that truck in the video.
@@IowaClassicCars Hey, could you also film that 63(?) Buick wagon toward the end of the video? Just barely got a glimpse of it. Thanks for the great video...all my favorites in one place! You and your friend have great taste in cars!!
I want to shake the hand of the curator of this collection of ghosts, these are truly the cars that most people drove, they are perhaps much more important to history than the muscle cars and convertibles we all cherish. Tucked away in one of the rows I saw a 64 Belvedere 4dr - most were four doors, the vertical parking lamps of the 63 was an everyday sight, now long forgotten - yup, a field of ghosts. Kudos to you bro.
Lots of really cool and rare station wagons. Also, saw Packards. Show more of them. Glad these are in a dry climate, a yard and not buried in forests and swamps as lot of these are. Many of these cars have good glass as well.
Could you imagine sitting inside some of those cars and feeling the story and imagining the families that commuted in these cars, The places they lived and where they went!.. you could turn on the radio and listen to Elvis Presley playing on the radio I miss the classic America those were the good ol days and they will never be like they were before. A gallon of gasoline was only $.15c at the time, A soda pop and potato chips Were only five cents!.. I used to walk inside the mom and pops grocery stores without a shirt and shoes, Time flies!..
Plymouth with the fins. I remember my parents having it for a couple weeks. It had a push button auto on the dash. My dad hated the car so it went back to where ever it came from. I was like 5 yrs old.
The owner's love for Chrysler products shows with his collection. I had read in an article about the '57 Chryslers (the division, that is) that Chrysler (the corporation, that is) had a different approach to fins from GM and Ford. Even though GM gets the credit for starting the fin craze with the lighted bunions on Caddies from '48 to about '54 or '55, Chrysler wanted to see the value of fins from an aerodynamics perspective, the first serious such attempt after World War II. They had experimented with two cars, one a stock '55 Chrysler, the other also a '55 Chrysler but with fins added to the rear fenders. Their tests proved a noticeable improvement in overall stability of the car at speeds of 70mph or higher. Of course, we all remember fins as a styling excess, which most people view with the same regard as smallpox...but it's interesting to learn that Chrysler had tried to incorporate them with a useful scientific purpose. Now, the $64 question: WHERE in Kansas?? I'm in Kansas, and I only know of one oldtimer yard, and it wasn't this one.
Some really beautiful cars there. That Pontiac you weren't sure of the year is a 61 Catalina Safari, a very rare car indeed. There are a bunch of my dream cars there, that is for sure. Trouble is people keep thinking neglect is patina. Patina is from use, not sitting outside neglected and let rot.
That pink Dodge at 9:50 is a '60 Polara. My uncle owned a green 4-door hardtop. Living on Detroit's southwest side with brutal salty roads in the winter, it was a rust bucket in less than 3 years.
Wish these big old American pieces of art (and sadly rust) were cheaper here. In the US I bet one car from that lot would be 500-2000, over in the U.K. I bet 8-15k. Trust me, if they were, I would have probably about 20 of them.
What year , if you know, was the Pontiac Sedan Delivery? Looked like 49 to a 52. And those 60 Buick wagons and the 59 Bonneville 2 door hardtop. WOW what a cool yard . Sorry, if I seem excited. Yards don't look like this in Pennsylvania.
If you look up 49 -51 Pontiac Sedan Delivery on Google, you can see that the Silver Streaks were on all Sedan Deliverys. If it were an Ambulance or a Hearse instead of the Pontiac name it would have just had a Piece of chrome where the Pontiac name would be..
@@williamdeegan7840 You are right. I just looked at some Google images. I wouldn't have thought Pontiac would have used the trim on the rear door, but I guess they did. Generally the professional vehicles are more ornate than the factory cars.
@@mexicanspec This isn't the same year , but I had a 66 pontiac Bonneville Hearse/Ambulance, 1 of 102 made. It was built by Superior Coach. It used 65 Corvair taillights, 63 Tempest Hubcaps and a Cadillac windshield. Being a Bonneville you would think it would have had the Ribbed Panels on the bottom sides of the car, like on a regular production car, but they didn't. Superior used a thin chrome strip on the lower body line instead of the ribbed pieces . It's all good. Wish I could go to that yard.
Mr Daniels, there is a simple way to see them again... although not in person unfortunately. Just look at the lovely kodachomes when all these automobiles were brand new, pick a specific year and place/location/name of an area (park, highway, street, neighborhood) or for a full example "1972 automobile dealership kodachomes." You can look as far back in color and a grand quality of film till 1939, although there are some kodachomes in 1938-37-36 and 1935 full color, not colorized it was real color. The earliest examples of color film was 1924.
I always wonder how is it possible that there are still so many US classics of 50s n 60s that survived. It' s like never ending if u see all these yards with hundreds of classics and many many thousands all over the world in private garage boxes. I mean thats a good sign, they will not die out so quickly, thanks God.
Thank you and your friend for showing us these cars.....and no disrespect intended, but what motivates a guy who will never restore 95% of these cars to let them rot in a field rather than re-homing them individually with hobby restorers that would restore them indoors and return them to use......I fully understand that it's his stuff to do with as he pleases, but for each of those cars, there is probably a guy with an empty garage space and a burning desire to restore the car that "makes his thingama bob!..... And would gladly pay for the opportunity!.... I've seen more than one of these stories where an old car hoarder dies and the cars are so far gone that they are beyond saving
these cars will look the same in 20 years as they do today. Southern Kansas is very kind on old metal. The few cars here are just a drop in the ocean of old cars out there to find and buy. I just don't get it why people are laser focused on one person's collection with the thought that he must sell them to other people just because. I personally know of well over 10,000 old cars that can be bought. Simply put, there are still a LOT out there to find and buy. Here's the rub: that white Limited you see here, I tried for a few months to sell it. Every US buyer said 'too rough', 'too far', etc. It actually sold and is going to Poland. I'll sell when I feel like it, and no one is going to brow beat me into selling anything because it is sitting. All I can say is quit focusing on what is here and getting bent because they are not being sold, get on line and hunt down cars. I have traveled far and wide, searched far and wide, and done the work to buy what makes me happy. They are not rusting into the ground, at all. They are all off the ground, in gravel lots or are on concrete or are inside. This is not eastern PA or northern IL, this is Kansas. I have cars that look the exact same the day I bought them 20 years ago. These will not ever be too far gone when it comes time to sell. They sat outside for 50 years already, what's another 10? A lot of these were saved from demo derbies, the crusher, out of tree rows, etc. If not for hoarders like me, and definitely the first generation hoarders that saved these from destruction when they were worthless, there would be a LOT less old cars for people to buy these days. Will they be for sale one day? Yep. When? No idea. Point is these cars make me happy, these cars make me tick, and to say I will never do anything with them is pure folly. My daughter is 17. I have not missed one gymnastics meet, one barrel race, one BMX race, not one damn thing in her life due to an old shitty car. I will not be that selfish father that gave all his time to a junk car vs the best thing that has happened in my life - her. When she is in her next chapter of her life, then I will devote some time to them. Until that time, they. will. sit. End of story. The last thing that will happen to me in being a parent is to look back and wish I had spent more time with her. That is regret and a life you will never get back. Think about it.
@@4speedBuick I can relate. You dont have to do anything to enjoy a collection of old vehicles. Guys that collect stamps dont put them on envelopes and mail them. Guys that collect arrowheads dont shoot them woth a bow and arrow. You have a Collection rather than a Hoard. A collection you can walk thru it. A hoard you have to climb over it. You could charge admission and its a car museium!
Wow, so many gems in there ! Both in terms of individually optioned curiosities, and in terms of rare model years / models ! That '58 Buick Limited ! That '59 Biscayne ! THe '57 Packards that you skipped ( ;-) ) the '60 big Dodge Matador (or Polara with stars snatched off fins) that you wanted to have identified ! the 1960 Fury with Sky-Hi rear window. So glad those are kept responsibly as a restoration material without sinking into ground or being pierced by trees.
From that unidentified chrysler imperial two door hardtop to all of them saved and so happy for it. I always loved my 57 ford fairlane two door hardtops or the sedans either one was my go to car... I had both the 59 ford and the 60 Bonneville at the same time back in 1961. I bought both a year old and paid less than a thousand for either one... the pontiac had less than five thousand miles and belonged to a doctor so it had the 421 and a four speed, that doctor loved his jeeps and his airplanes. I would love to have the money to own all them there on the lot and see if I could bring them back to close to original shape. thanks for the video

My heart almost stopped when I saw that 58 Buick Limited. Words can't describe how much I love those.
My dad drove one of those for years after I went on uncle sams all expense paid vacation. 👊
They proper look like something from a SCI-FI.
58 is my favorite year for Buick
I have never in my life seen so many 59 dodge two door sedans in the same place AMAZING!!! Very excited for the next video 👍
Wow! A lot of vintage sedans and wagons. Extraordinary collection and condition. I imagine they're all titled too. Thanks for the tour.
Man, I'm starting to like the old wagons. Lots of potential there.
The origin SUV, but much bigger, roomier and beautiful.
Love the big Buicks and Pontiacs ! I could spent a lot of time in that collection !
next time ill film it in more detail!
God bless this man for saving all these cars!!

thanks for watching
The front bumper alone from one of these cars has enough steel to make an entire Hyundai 😁
lol thats no joke
Well keep them bumpers away from the Hyundai assembly line😂🤣😂🤣
Yep
worst part is, it’s actually true.
LOL
Nicest selection of cars you've shown that are restorable. I could spend hours walking through history there
This gentleman has some rare cars there. I love those old fifties and sixties cars they all have their own unique styling something we no longer have today.
The Agents up north at Coldwar Motors HQ, would go crazy over this lot. So many projects so little time

Just look at the lovely kodachomes when all these automobiles were brand new, pick a specific year and place/location/name of an area (park, highway, street, neighborhood) or for a full example "1972 automobile dealership kodachomes." You can look as far back in color and a grand quality of film till 1939, although there are some kodachomes in 1938-37-36 and 1935 full color, not colorized it was real color. The earliest examples of color film was 1924.
Favorite car? Like choosing your favorite child. Great to see these vintage cars being saved and protected. When America was great.
haha glad you enjoyed!
I would like to get any one of these. So cool, so much history.
Some really nice ford wagons in there! And a few other gems! Very nice!
I always wonder how is it possible that there are still so many US classics of 50s n 60s that survived. It' s like never ending if u see all these yards with hundreds of classics and many many thousands all over the world in private garage boxes. I mean thats a good sign, they will not die out so quickly, thanks God.
Is it just me that thinks when you see the interior of any old car they are so much more interesting and classy then anything made today
Agree 100%
Thank you and your friend for showing us these cars.....and no disrespect intended, but what motivates a guy who will never restore 95% of these cars to let them rot in a field rather than re-homing them individually with hobby restorers that would restore them indoors and return them to use......I fully understand that it's his stuff to do with as he pleases, but for each of those cars, there is probably a guy with an empty garage space and a burning desire to restore the car that "makes his thingama bob!..... And would gladly pay for the opportunity!.... I've seen more than one of these stories where an old car hoarder dies and the cars are so far gone that they are beyond saving
these cars will look the same in 20 years as they do today. Southern Kansas is very kind on old metal. The few cars here are just a drop in the ocean of old cars out there to find and buy. I just don't get it why people are laser focused on one person's collection with the thought that he must sell them to other people just because. I personally know of well over 10,000 old cars that can be bought. Simply put, there are still a LOT out there to find and buy. Here's the rub: that white Limited you see here, I tried for a few months to sell it. Every US buyer said 'too rough', 'too far', etc. It actually sold and is going to Poland. I'll sell when I feel like it, and no one is going to brow beat me into selling anything because it is sitting. All I can say is quit focusing on what is here and getting bent because they are not being sold, get on line and hunt down cars. I have traveled far and wide, searched far and wide, and done the work to buy what makes me happy. They are not rusting into the ground, at all. They are all off the ground, in gravel lots or are on concrete or are inside. This is not eastern PA or northern IL, this is Kansas. I have cars that look the exact same the day I bought them 20 years ago. These will not ever be too far gone when it comes time to sell. They sat outside for 50 years already, what's another 10? A lot of these were saved from demo derbies, the crusher, out of tree rows, etc. If not for hoarders like me, and definitely the first generation hoarders that saved these from destruction when they were worthless, there would be a LOT less old cars for people to buy these days. Will they be for sale one day? Yep. When? No idea. Point is these cars make me happy, these cars make me tick, and to say I will never do anything with them is pure folly. My daughter is 17. I have not missed one gymnastics meet, one barrel race, one BMX race, not one damn thing in her life due to an old shitty car. I will not be that selfish father that gave all his time to a junk car vs the best thing that has happened in my life - her. When she is in her next chapter of her life, then I will devote some time to them. Until that time, they. will. sit. End of story. The last thing that will happen to me in being a parent is to look back and wish I had spent more time with her. That is regret and a life you will never get back. Think about it.
@@4speedBuick I can relate. You dont have to do anything to enjoy a collection of old vehicles. Guys that collect stamps dont put them on envelopes and mail them. Guys that collect arrowheads dont shoot them woth a bow and arrow. You have a Collection rather than a Hoard. A collection you can walk thru it. A hoard you have to climb over it. You could charge admission and its a car museium!
That's really awesome Ryan .
Thanks Jr 👌
Wow, so many gems in there ! Both in terms of individually optioned curiosities, and in terms of rare model years / models ! That '58 Buick Limited ! That '59 Biscayne ! THe '57 Packards that you skipped ( ;-) ) the '60 big Dodge Matador (or Polara with stars snatched off fins) that you wanted to have identified ! the 1960 Fury with Sky-Hi rear window. So glad those are kept responsibly as a restoration material without sinking into ground or being pierced by trees.
That Ford pickup would make a gorgeous hot rod. Cheers!
So much potential... so much work & money. That 40 Ford truck would be my first project out of the lot.
I love junkyard videos. I am in Iowa now. I am from Indiana.
Great video, surprised to see no trifives!
he likes the odd stuff!
Does the Ultronic eye(?) at 6:30 dim the headlights....
Yes
@@IowaClassicCars
I hate to bother you, but do you ever come across 1965 Impala bucket seats, with tracks. The fold forward evenly...
So many great projects, not enough money. I like all the wagons especially the ones I never knew existed.
I love the 58 Buick. I remember my Grandfather had a Special. Black with a white roof. I always thought it was a super cool car.
Dankeschön für das schöne Video, da gehen Kinderträume in Erfüllung.
Ich komme auf Deutschland.
4:00 Another wagon, 1960 4435....wow.....NICE condition AND with A/C. He knows the good stuff!
That pink1960 Dodge is a rare Polara, I have seen maybe 5 in my lifetime.
Probably the rarest car there, it is a coupe! He didn't pay much or any attention to it.
@@bigblockjalopy Yeah, I was yelling "WAIT !!!" when he walked right past it. Especially since it has the fin chrome With the light ! Wow
There’s a lot of cars that I like thanks.
That would be my dream trip to walk through that yard
Wow its Amazing, the condition of the car is still maintained even though it's rusty, some are not working. Sir where is this junkyard?
From that unidentified chrysler imperial two door hardtop to all of them saved and so happy for it. I always loved my 57 ford fairlane two door hardtops or the sedans either one was my go to car... I had both the 59 ford and the 60 Bonneville at the same time back in 1961. I bought both a year old and paid less than a thousand for either one... the pontiac had less than five thousand miles and belonged to a doctor so it had the 421 and a four speed, that doctor loved his jeeps and his airplanes. I would love to have the money to own all them there on the lot and see if I could bring them back to close to original shape. thanks for the video
My first reaction; they are all the same terracotta color!
Beautiful collection you dont have to restore everything to appreciate it. Better off in that yard then in the crusher.👍
Thats the truth!
True
Nice lil collection there !
