Look at it another way, These rusted out cars are better to look at than the unsold cars of today sitting on airfields around the world. The old stuff was built with passion and to last a life time

D. Ray Smith, let me compliment you on your appreciation of these precious, rusty relics. Mostly thank you for Not calling your presentation - Barn Find, or Abandoned

That '53 Cadillac reminded me of trying to hitchhike from the Atlanta area heading toward SC in about the late Fall of 1968 in the very late afternoon, and our standing out in the cold for about an hour, and finally getting a ride up I-85 with 2 bank robbers with large frame, shiny .38 Special revolvers and a back seat just full of loose ammunition. The car was pristine, and looked like a Family Car that had just been liberated from a country funeral home somewhere in Alabama. The guys were great and were anxious to show us and tell us about their revolvers, the huge quantity of ammunition they had, their wads of money, and their big plans, and, to avoid attracting attention, they drove that car at about 100 mph the whole time we were with them (no car was able to pass us), which was about 50 miles further up I-85 than they had planned, because of the great tales they were telling us. Those guys were having the most fun they'd ever had and we got to hear about it, secretly wondering if they'd shoot us after we heard their story. But no, they let us off as they turned down a side road more less back toward Athens and south Georgia, and we got a ride in a Rambler with a drunk Chief Petty officer, who only asked that we get him to a bar in whatever town we were going to, and we did. Later on, I looked for but never found out anything about those bank-robbing guys having done anything bad that was really newsworthy, but whatever they may have done, they were putting it behind them as fast as that '53 Cadillac would go. P.S. That Caddy was a solid as a rock at high speeds - can't think of a modern car that rides as well as it did that fine, Georgia afternoon on I-85 heading East.

Way cool. Great blues there too. I must have become a gear-head. Loving the classics. Started researching conversion vans for cross-country camping. Did that for three years. Heading off to salvage for a Ford spare tire wench/carrier. LONG LIVE THE SALVAGE YARD! LONG LIVE THE RIGHT TO REPAIR!

Finally ! , someone that did a video right . very enjoyable and quite educational too . great job Sir ! . I enjoyed the music and all the cars , and the narration was right on the money . Ray in Pa.

Hey Donald Smith thanks for posting. It breaks my heart and entertains me at the same time to see these cars.

Thanks for sharing Mr.D'Ray I enjoyed the ride into the past. My fav. Times as a youngster in the 60s and 70s were junkyard hopping with my father and passing that along to my kids in the 80's and 90's. Now its not so easy in 2019 to enjoy those days of wondering through those salvage yards. Everything is gold plated and not affordable....

Brings back lots of memories as I worked on nearly every kind of vehicle you showed, my Dad was one of the worlds great mechanic, having his first vehicle at age 11! Even though working six days a week , he always had mechanic work to do on weekends and Sunday, farming out the tear down work to me when I wasn't in school. He would always make a stop by my room as he left for work, telling me what to get in the shop and to have a transmission or motor ready to pull after supper. Great Dad!

Being an 18 year old australian, i dont get to see things like this very often at all and my word, these are just..... a dream!!!

i love your walk around the yard.......all the old cars and stuff.......i could spend weeks just looking at old cars. nice vid

The second car featured was a 61 Chevy. I drove one in high school. Brought back lots of memories. Thanks!

thanks Donald for posting....really nice, reminded me of the parking lot in high school!! Really took me back there

thanks for sharing! love the old cars, back when people could design a thing of beauty.

Where is this located city, State , Please

I love looking at really cool old cars with their wacky styling from decades past. It fills me with wonder looking at all these old cars (whether they're particularly desirable, or not?) It's great you took the time to record this. Like you say, a rare sight nowadays...

I enjoyed that little look round, wondering what stories each car could tell, once every one was someones pride and joy! I love the Corvair pick up, never seen one before. Great vid.

Thank you for what you are doing it brought back many memories. I would suggest that you walk the yard first with a note pad to identify the cars you will hi-light and anytime you see one of those old Chryslers look under the hood; some of them had the first "hemi" in them, highly collectable!

Thanks for sharing this trip down memory lane ...I had some of those cars when I was a young lad - Mustangs ,Nova, Chevy Impala , a bunch of Camaro's .....I didn't see any MGB's ..I had a few of them . I now own a 2010 Chevy Camaro , look's retro.Thanks again From Canada

Liked your video. did a nice job of narrating. Junk yards are becoming fewer and fewer. Don't let negative comments discourage you. It's not about 4 door cars, it's really about the yard nowadays and how they're disappearing from the landscape and you're recording their history thank you

Thanks for showing the junkyard. I love it

Couple of old Studebaker's in there. That's great! Good video!

Great comment. I have had these exact thoughts and said almost the exact words for years now. Thank God for today's Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Chargers, etc. Even though they are still mostly plastic, at least they look like they have some class and some individuality. This video almost brought tears to my eyes.

Terrific outdoor museum without a doubt. Hope its all still there since you've posted this video. Good one indeed!!!!

There must be a few of these old car graveyards around. For a keen eye and a few bucks, you could make some big bucks restoring some of these... Good video.

Don: Great vid. Ever since I was a little kid (I just turned 60) I've always had this strange fascination with junk cars. I'd love to be able to walk around a junk yard like you just did. I always thought that Corvair pick-up truck was real cool -- way cooler than the van. I share your opinion about that (about '69 or '70) Ford XL convertible. Thanks for letting me stop in and sound off.

Wow I think it's amazing how the chrome on pretty much all of the cars there are intact, amazing.

Very COOL !!! Thanks for sharing !! I'd love to walk threw there too

Those have to be some of my Grandpa's, and Uncles cars. All my relatives are buried at Possum Grape. My Mom just two weeks ago. Back in the early 80's she took us ( me and 8 cousins) in a jump off of Joy Mountain in a 63 Chrystler 4 door. None of us got hurt.

Nice vidéo! I could picture some people doing a Woodstock Festival, all around these cars. Imagine all the people that died out and all the stories that took place in those vehicules. It must be spooky and yet exciting, just to walk around that salvage yard looking at these old phantom ghosts. Johnny from Montreal Canada.

Love those monte carlos,hell i love them all,wish i was very wealthy id buy the yard and resore as many of them as possible,seams like a peaceful calm there VERY AWESOME VID DRAY!!!! :)

i love your vidoes about the junk yards

a trip down memory lane, thanks!

so many cool cars, so many different ways to build them...this is a gear-heads dream yard...

Junkyards are therapy for me, thx fer sharing!

Thanks for the tour.

Wow, this is really great to watch... We have none of these in Europe! Thanks for sharing! :)

I love this kind of collections keep it up nice staff 🤔

I love how old these cars are and one thing that is still there is the glass.

The only reason you can tell them apart is because you like them. Most people would say those old 50s cars all look the same.

Be alot of fun 2 explore that salvage yard 👍

great vid man love the classics. funny drone vid too haha, might have to take a trip to the other side of arkansas fort smith here

Classics , music is just right !

Very cool DRay...classic revisited.

the scrape prices have got the best of most the old cars around. back a 5 or 6 years ago there were still hundreds of old cars around norther michigan now they are all gone.

Enjoyed your video Don.

good video Hoss! thanks for sharing I need a front bumper and valance for my 65 impala ss

I hate the spiders in junk yards... but Ohhhh how I love to play in them

Great job on your video.

thumbs up if you knew every car he called out before he called them out

There are big differ on a-59 and -61 Chevy!

it's nice to see that these timeless cars will one day be like the cars they were decades ago. Would be a shame if they remained shells of their former glory days

Super video! Im from Liverpool England and i love old skool american cars 40s-70s! Its amazing to think there are still so many left but sad to think that most will never end up on the road again! EU rules state in countrys like Sweden, Finland, Norway that once the car is 30 years old it is no longer deemed fit to be on the roads so many classics are crushed or just sat in storage! Thanksfully here in the UK we dont have that problem, the only problem we have over here is the weather! lol

Where is this place?

Nice, I love wrecking yards!

Great memories indeed!

I live not far from here..an unsual surprise to click on a video and to see it's just a few miles from where you live.

Thank you Sir.

GOOD WORK MY FRIEND NICE VIDEO

Yeah man that my next mission to restore me one of them!!!

Ive got to get ahold of this guy. He has the parts I need for 2 different projects Im working on.

nice cars i love old cars

Good stuff Buddy!! You did the same thing I did in my video. You added Old in front of the name of every car, Ya can't help it!! Great video!!☺

Beautiful cars

Great video man ! Just bums out the grass growing underneath them . Grass and moisture can do some severe damage in time . Overall thanks for the video ! Memories of my youth from watching this video .

Think of the money, memories and lives touched from these old rust buckets

Thankyou man . Very good

Love the Corvair pick up

Love the impalas!

Excellent video, well done...and I like that you put music to it, but only in the background..not dominant.

thanks for the video!

Great video. You just don't get places like this in England because it's too cold and wet. If those beautiful cars were stashed like that here there would be no trace after a few short years. Loved the El Cameno, my favourite Yank tank.

This guy is really likable, but he doesn't show us enough. I'm hungry for more of this stuff. The wooden Nash wheel is called an artillery wheel, and I'm guessing it's between 1920 and 1930.

I wish I lived somewhere with a junkyard like that.

It´s nice, that cars, i just love to them, here in Brazil we don´t have mucj of these cars, I ent to the USA two times this year in Vegas and I want to go to Desert Valley Autoparts if I can get a Galaxie 66 a convertible top to install in my Ford Landau 76 that was the last car that have a 302 v8 engine.chers

When in Missouri, be sure and check out John's Auto Salvage near Cabool, the biggest yard I've ever seen, a thousand or more vintage cars, rows of tail-finned Mopars, etc. Also check out Schollmeyer's near Jeff City, and Huxel's in Union.

Been to John's last year. He had a dope head son that sold over 1/2 of them before they got him stopped. But he still has a lot of cars. I got clutch linkage for a big 63 Buick . Have you ever seen a straight shift big body Buick before. Rare find.

Great collection. Lots of hard to find parts there.

Well done

thanks for sharing

If i was a millionaire, i will bring every single one of them back on the road ;-) Nice vid. Thumbs up!

hell i.d pay to walk through that yard

Please do another video, this place is one of the best yards. But, please show some interiors, if any are left lol.

its not a matter of thinking, its weather you have the time and the will to put a ton of work into fixing one of these old cars.

Your camera work is very good. You pan and move slowly enough that the viewer does not get vertigo. Where did you say the field is? Thanks.

It's like walking through history

I love them bubbles

OOOO. that 61 Impala at the beginning

I would love to go there

like it smith

So we’re going to going to get to do one of those

wish I was there. thanks

Do you have a transmission filler tube for a 1970 cougar XR7 C-4

Sir that was really nice to see them old cars and trucks do have the info on that junkyard so i can find out on some parts and do you know if there any 1967 chevy trucks there

PartingOut is a site where these cars need to be posted as a whole and let all us car lovers request the parts off of them. People who have these cars get tired of looking, confirming & sending pictures to buyers who never follow through. Make an offer that states who, where and what along with a price that you are willing to pay and then we can help you. That is how buyers and sellers deal on PartingOut. I personally have several thousand cars and over 500 pre1980s cars that are parts cars.

beautiful! ▪☆☆☆▪

Possum grape Arkansas is the location, just north of Bradford Arkansas off of 367 it's on Google maps. North to northwest of Memphis TN.

great music

That corvair truck was a rare one it was a ramp side very rare

If you go back this fall can you see if theres any 66 gtos out there?I plan to do a diesel in a 66 some day :)

if only I had the money I would buy and restore the lot

WOW...this is one of the TOP 10 Vids from a Junkyard, nice to hear you, to comment the cars. Any of them for sale?? My dream car is there...

I know where there is a yellow 57 convertable setting for sale.. It need alot of the trim. but the panels are all straight.

now a days all cars look the same. im only 20 but boy was i born in the wrong era

I'd be interested in the 47 or 48 chevy fleetline also that 62 black impala next to that blue 65 impala.is there a number to this place if they for sale.
