That’s stunning, never seen so many ‘57-61 Plymouths in one yard, some really unusual sedan deliveries and wagons no one ever saves. A few I’d love to own.
I roamed old junkyards. My favorite was in upstate NY. The owner was 5 foot 300 pounds and had a three-legged yard dog. Now, I love watching junkyards videos. You can tell I'm old, I'm using the word junkyard instead of dismantler. This is a top video. You are so right about being the last of a dying breed. What you can keep in your yard, everything must be under a car cover without a plate started being enforced in suburbia over the couple of decades. Rural local government followed suit. Again great job
I really think that 2 door wagon, that was a US army car should be saved. Not many like it. What a great yard for late 50' early 60' Mopars plus late 50's Lincolns amongst some others. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Back in the early 1980s before the internet Big M was one of my go-to wrecking yards in California Central Valley. Three or four times a year I would hit every old wrecking yard from Bakersfield to Redding. before the internet the hobby was wrecking yards and swap meets.
That is the biggest bunch of hub caps I have ever seen in one place! Also a nice collection of Dodges. That Pontiac with suicide doors is a custom job. Originals had normal opening doors. That sure would be a bunch of work though! Thanks for the tour!
@@ObsoleteAutomotive At one $5 junkyard in Santa Clara (the best) there was a Mexican food truck in the parking lot,. Inside the clean office there were vending machines, loaner safety steel- toed shoes and loaner tools. The knowledgeable sales staff gave out maps highlighting where the 70's Cadillacs were. Inside the lot the acres of cars were in neat rows off the ground on rims. There were few weeds with pea gravel between the cars. Only major issue was at 4:45 they warned over the PA that the "Junk Yard Dogs" would be free at 54..EVERYBODY OUT!
correction : the Junk Yard Dogs were let out at 5 PM ! Between 4:45 and 5 the PA warning was repeated with the sound of mean dogs barking in the background!
Its a good idea to let your viewers know what the lot has a primary inventory of, It saves the viewer the time of watching a video of all Dodges, Plymouth, etc, if there are no Chevys.
Nice yard. You mentioned late fifties Mopar try rust Ranch on the south side of Wichita Kansas. He has a number of them. Parts out or sells whole. Not quite as rest freeze what you have but that area is one of the gems of the Midwest. Similar to parts of Colorado. I like your video I went ahead and subscribe
Glade to see these car's/truck's being saved in any condition. I remember in the early 80s going to wrecking yards with my Pop's Uncle and older brother's I would see them being crushed some really nice car's truck's to. As a young kid I would cringe to see them being crushed knowing that car/truck could be saved and back on the road. There was some smart guy's that were buying them next to nothing and had some land to put them on under a good. I know my uncle had a farm there car's and truck's started to stack up real quick every time a car or truck stop running they would push them in the back. He had many 50s car's he had to get rid of when they sold the farm everything had to go.
I had a '57 Courier. The tailgate for one is leaning against the fence at the beginning of the video. It had a one piece tailgate with three windows and it was/is hinged at the top.
I used to go their in 2016 , for Falcon parts . John is a good guy to deal with. I have since moved to north Texas still alot of classic yards here. The state of Cal is trying to get rid of these type of businesses ,by taxing and regulating they to death .
Nice, very nice. Junk that prehistoric stove/oven/range it is junk, use the massive space for some other wanted goodies, only a small toaster oven or a very small cook top is actually needed.
I hope that someone can rescue these cars before they are crushed, some rare models here. I don't think this current generation has much appreciation for them .They think they can save the planet with a battery operated car good luck, good night.
As mentioned to another person. The camera’s stabilization failed for some reason… resulting in less than smooth movement unfortunately. I decided to use the footage anyway instead of just scrapping it.
@@ObsoleteAutomotiveLove your videos, Austin, but may I suggest slowing down the camera movement. Also, going to 60 fps would improve results. Cheers from the UK. 🙂
@@stephenholland5930 Everything’s been rectified. Better equipment. Better production. A lot has changed in a year. It’s a learning curve figuring out how to do this stuff. I will be coming back to this yard for a “redemption” retake video. There’s more to see so I’ll go ahead and make a new video. 😂
Williams California is not in Southern California Willows south is central California Willows north is northern California and from Willows to Williams is only 75 miles live in Redding Ca nice warm part of the country
All of this better be saved if not you and the onwers will be in trouble with the powers to be , ok good to see I sure do hope you learn how to use a camera as a camera and not a ball bat or fly Fly swatter because you are making us sea sick , come on dude ,watch your own vlog and you can put up with the motion sickness lolthanks BigAl California

@@alkennedy1124 Most phones and cameras have some sort of video stabilization that can be enabled to “smooth” out video footage. Also gimbles can be used to make the camera movement smooth during walking and other action.
Seen some guy do that to a perfectly good running driving 50 Chevy truck dude was in drug's and wanted to make it into a chop top truck. He had the top hanging on with cloths hangers the truck ended up in the junk yard. There was nothing wrong with the body of the truck no dents custom window's on the cab. This was back in the early 80s you could still find those truck's for a decent price.
Tedlawrence4189 Did see a few Pontiacs No Chevrolets or Studebakers or for that matter Packards, Nash, or Hudson a few Ramblers but no AMCS and certainly no Imports!!!!.

A surprising number of wagons and 59 Plymouths. Some really nice stuff there.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Utter MoPaR heaven !
That is an insane Gold Mine! Such beautiful cars, wow!
Heaven for me ! I recall many of these makes when they were in service. Little did we know..
It’s good to restore, save our memories of the way we we’re back in the days when we had real cars.

It was. I know the guy with it now
Wholly "Forward Look" Batman! That yard is amazing! That must be the most rust free Exner sheet metal in one place in the world!
Back in the early 1980s before the internet Big M was one of my go-to wrecking yards in California Central Valley. Three or four times a year I would hit every old wrecking yard from Bakersfield to Redding. before the internet the hobby was wrecking yards and swap meets.
Very nice! A lot of great old cars and trucks! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the tour of the yard. So many Exner era Mopars in one spot!
The station wagon collection is brilliant!
That is the biggest bunch of hub caps I have ever seen in one place! Also a nice collection of Dodges. That Pontiac with suicide doors is a custom job. Originals had normal opening doors. That sure would be a bunch of work though! Thanks for the tour!
What an awesome place! Everything is so rust free 😂😭
Gotta love the dry climate!
@@ObsoleteAutomotiveare any of these for sale?
Lots of great content. I too have been to huge junkyards in Calif. A few of them charged $5 admission.....good day's entertainment!
I could wander around for hours!

Turners in Fresno, is or was, another huge auto graveyard
I also have a garage museum that I use to work on. Nowadays there are old tools 🔧 and engines parts so I go sit and look at everything I have.

Somany cool cars and possibilities. Save them restore them and for gods sake . Don't crush them . The wagons i would love to fix up.
1:51..59 Plymouth suburban looks rather restorable among others. Love the 55-57 Ford Couriers !
I had a '57 Courier. The tailgate for one is leaning against the fence at the beginning of the video. It had a one piece tailgate with three windows and it was/is hinged at the top.
Oh I seen my favorite cars the EDSEL only a 58 & a 1959 😱😁👍
I used to go their in 2016 , for Falcon parts . John is a good guy to deal with. I have since moved to north Texas still alot of classic yards here. The state of Cal is trying to get rid of these type of businesses ,by taxing and regulating they to death .
Solid cars
Are any of the cars for sale.....I would love to get the Studebaker Champ Pickup.
I've never seen so many "forward look" Mopars in one place
At 31:12 on top of the taxi-car is a Pontiac from 1953 like mine .
Many of those cars can be restored and save them.
WAAAW GOOD.
May I post a link about my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban?
I’d love some of those plymouths
Or that 1957 dodge.
Nice, very nice.
Junk that prehistoric stove/oven/range it is junk, use the massive space for some other wanted goodies, only a small toaster oven or a very small cook top is actually needed.
Sure wish this was my back yard. 😮💨😮💨
I bought a 64 Marauder bumper from him for a job on a friend's car.
The fwd Fifth Avenue doesn't quite seem to belong with the rest. LOL.
Con t a c t 54- 56crown association club ford product. Bryton Ohio, national headquarters
C ar clubs
I've got to get up there, see if they have any 63 Plymouth parts. Big M is about 45 min away from me.
Mopar Rules!
❤❤❤
I never saw so many 2drs. in a junk yard. Does he sell them or is he a hoarder ?
Lot of chrysler cars and plymouths
I hope that someone can rescue these cars before they are crushed, some rare models here. I don't think this current generation has much appreciation for them .They think they can save the planet with a battery operated car good luck, good night.
Ford sedan delivery was cool. Too many hubcaps need sorted and kept from the weather. Could make a fortune selling them on ebay

What was the greased lightning car?
@@Rodeshion I think it was just someone’s fun. Just painted that on the side.
Do they have any 1968 300 looking for trim
I don’t think so.
So I might have taken the trunklid from the 58 dodge police car mate
Did anyone notice that the Dodge police car still has it's 392 HEMI engine?
one way to tell if the '58 Dodge was a police car is if it has a certified speedometer
That '66 Charger should be on the road. Very few still on the road.
This man must have bought every old rusty forward look chrysler inCalifornia.Not much GM sttuff and Ihave yet to see any old chevys
Williams California is not in Southern California Willows south is central California Willows north is northern California and from Willows to Williams is only 75 miles live in Redding Ca nice warm part of the country
I live in Williams...its only less than 40 miles to Willows..
How much does he sell each car for?
Dammit, that guy needs to have Vanderbrink or someone come in an auction off the savable cars, and crush the rest.
Surely, buying up classic cars and having them slowly rot outside is a great idea
they don't rot in california, i know, i lived there.
@@west4057 they still rot, just slower, plus the interiors get absolutely trashed by the heat, sun, and rodents.
Any 41 to 48 chevy cars there
I don’t think so. Not much for Chevys there.
Mercury Meteor at 30.40

yeah so no one can buy parts and then the owner dies and it all gets crushed....f-u-c-k- you !
sound is terrible! could not watch!
scap, no one wants to put these on the road
I’ve been by that place a million times on I-5 , always wondered what it looked like inside there, is there a WW2 military jeeps in there?
No jeeps there. Mostly late 50s and early 60s cars.
