I absolutely love it when someone takes a walk thru video of salvage/junk yards. I understand that some are too big to see all, but your time is much appreciated! I thought about doing this as well, and I figured an owner probably wouldn't want me there filming his/her stuff. I even thought of breaking up a walk-thru into separate videos of the yard was too big. Thank you very much for the video!!

At 25:50 that’s a SIMCA Aronde, made in France in the 50’s. These were imported by Chrysler as Chrysler didn’t have their own small car yet. Truly a unique find!

Used to have a budy down in western Tenn. with a salvage yard, he'd sell whole cars, sell stripping rights to a car, all you could take off in a day (possibly two is he was feeling generous) but never pulled a part himself. Unfortunately he passed away about 20 years ago

@@drskull9 it's seriously reminds me of a story of two guys talking read aloud in line at the McDonald's 20 years ago. One of them turned 86. Two boys probably about 15 years of age and they were good boys. One said to the other wow that is old. The man that just turned 86 could obviously hear well. He was talking loud so his friend could hear him. He told the young man yeah I used to think it was old too until I turned 85. That has stuck with me. But I'm glad your friend did have a longer life. But person still misses their friend when they pass away.

Yes, and most of the dreams I had were nightmares 😆

Junkyard tours are good therapy for both the body and soul. Thank you for bringing us along!

The old Peugeot wagon is the 404 model. My father purchased one brand new in 1970, and it was the car i learnt to drive on. He sold it in 1976 and Purchased a new 504 wagon. It was a good car but not as good as the previous 404. Many thanks for taking the time to do this video Silas, there is for sure some very interesting vehicles in that yard, including the british stuff too. Many thanks David in the UK.

Those classics should be stored inside to protect them from the elements.

My favorite thing I saw was the 1970 Galaxy 500. I had one with a 351 Windsor with dual exhaust and Sears Muzzlers. From the side it looks like a fast back but the rear glass is almost vertical like the Avalanche.

Are you talking about the yellow one @ 25:55 ? That's a 1969. I have a soft spot for the 69-70 Galaxys because one of my classmates had a '69 in high school and I took my driver's license test in a '70 wagon, which had a 390.

@@tommylord Yea, I think this was the one. It has been 40 years since I owned mine and I had never seen a 1969. I did own a 1969 Fairlane 500 fastback too. I also owned a 1969 Cobra with the 428 Cobra Jet. Who knew these cars would be so sought after these many years later. They sold dirt cheap back then. My 1968 Torino had a badass 390 in it.

Thanks for posting this you really put in the work in

Man what a blast from the past!. And the cars are in a great line that you are not climbing thru bushes and trees and all kinds of crap! Nice set up!! Looks like you have cars from.all the decades and even foreign models!!

Personally, I really thought that Dodge School Bus was really COOL!!! And unique that would be awesome to turn into some type of RV. It would definitely be one of one thanks for the tour Buddy.

What a iron gold mine! I could spend days there! Love to save some of those Corvairs, Rare 61 Oldsmobile limo, & Cadillac professional cars (especially the ambulances and flower cars). I spotted several vairy stripped Corvairs! We've got a guy coming up from Oregon to get the quarter panel off a '62 700 sedan! I spotted at least 3 Forward Control Corvair 95 (Corvan & 2 Greenbriers!) That red '61Corvair Greenbrier had a spot light on it (wonder if it was a fire dept rig, I've seen a few). What a great video! Glad you got some goodies!

I despise those 4 door T Bird landaus, a good portion of the rear pillar is fake and literally runs across the rear door glass, what a hoot! 46:20 Thanks for the tour Silas! Lookin forward to the next. 🤠👍 (Viewed at 1.5x playback speed to make needed time)

thanks again for the great tour - love their cool classic selection

Hi Silas The Plymouth Valiant with wheel on trunk from 59-61. There were some 1962 that had them. The 1957 Chevrolet they produced more Bel-airs than the 210. I am a Mopar man myself

Hillmans and Morries were the life blood of our country here in New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿✌️🏝🍺

My buddy had a Chevy Monza (like that Skylark) that was a factory V8 4spd. It actually had some balls . Sorry Silas, but we used to call those fake continental tire stampings on Valiant deck lids "Toilet Seats" ! 🤭. 59 Furys had them too. We used to call 71-73 Mustang Fastbacks "The Whale" cause they were so big, heavy and slow. Especially when compared to 64 1/2 - 66s. Those 58-60 window Dodge Suburbans were called "Town Wagons". They just raced a rustbucket 58 Studebaker President on Coldwar Motors Channel. A lot of Dodge School Buses were sold to Indian Reservation Schools. Those little Dodge vans were called the A100. I like the 53 Dodge "Leaping Ram" hood ornaments too. I put one on my 55 Dodge C3H truck which never came with one. That Imperial flower car is ultra rare. Someone should take that on as a project. Another good vid Silas. 👊😎👍

Wow I could spend a couple days there just looking around

Silas, thank you for stopping to check out the “odd ball” cars like that Peugeot 404 wagon and that SIMCA Aronde 4 door. I like classic American cars and it’s also neat to see classics foreign cars that were sold in this country too!

Good explanation of the difference between parting and recycling. Never knew that. Thanks!

As a car enthusiast I didn't care for this channel and what he does for a living. Ive recently done a full circle. Realizing that as much as I hate it, the days of people enthusiastic about autos has come to an end. Someone has to clean up our messes and salvage some ideas of art. As we come into this new world of artificial intelligence, there is not going to be any room for reminiscing our past. We will be letting go of most everything about how we even live today. This new age shift will happen fast and folks like him are busy getting us prepared for it. Thank you for helping us.

Silas. The Aronde was made by Simca - a French company that Chrysler bought. The older, heavy bumper cars were not Packards but Lincolns circa 1948 👍

Honda Civics were available for a few years with a CVCC engine; CVCC stood for Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber, essentially a pre-combustion engine with a small intake valve in the precup with the sparkplug and of course the large combustion chamber was configured as normal but with no spark plug. There were two intake valves, one of which was normal and near the exhaust valve, but the other intake valve was relatively tiny and was of course in the top of the pre-cup near the spark plug. The idea being the richer mixture in the pre-cup would ignite the lean mixture in the main combustion chamber. The carburetor was configured with one small throat jetted richer and one jetted leaner; the thing worked well, got good fuel mileage while meeting the strict exhaust emission standards of the day. I remember those well because i worked on them often back when they were being sold.

14:00 i believe its a 1954 Henry J. The hole cut out of the hood for a scoop of some kind kinda gave it away. Its not the 1950ish version Henry J people used for drag racing...i think its a 1954 but i could be wrong.

I was thinking either Henry or one of those early Volvos. They both looked a lot alike

Those two funky bumpers are on 46-48 Lincolns, not Packards. There was another one in their too. Lots of old luxury cars in Texas. Great salvage yard,,,Izzy,,,

That place has so many possible classics. I could spend years in there

texas always has great cars laying around rust free.unlike me up in the rust belt of michigan!!!

First observation - it's a sea of colour in that field. Today, seven out of ten vehicles are silver and grey.

Favorites of mine Silas, 1961 Corvair “Lakewood” station wagon, 1964-65 Mustang hardtop, 1970 Ford “Maverick”. If you have any intact and are in the giving mood! Great as always, buddy.

Thanks this the Great Video & Channel ! I have a Same Car Channel from Finland All the Best to You 2024 !

I will inquire about the 1970 Lincolns at :41 in your opening drone shot. Thanks and keep up the salvage yard videos. If not for guys like you, we would never know about this stuff. I have been able to get 2 of these through videos like this. 62,000 views in 17 hours!

44: 37 this is a porche with an air cooled engine. Some were even all chrome. Engine is in the rear, like a pontiac fiero. My nephew had one once. I'm tall, so it was interresting setting in the passenger seat while he drove like a mainiac.

One of the better walk through of an old junk yard, and full of great parts too

Huge old car lot with a lot of hidden classic treasures. Thanks for the video.

Oh the adventures you find, we dream of, Great video, thumbs up

Great video! Thanks for the tour.

I’ve been to the yard in Decatur living in DFW,,I bought a few things for my 67 Buick Rivera

/tge 58 Chevy is my favorite. Most people go for the 57 but I think the smooth body lines on the 58 make it a much better looking car.

I can't go there. I have too many projects now. The cars will see me and attach themselves like octopi. Great tour, Silas!

Thats one huge feild of dreams ,theres some sweet stuff in that yard silas .

I like that junk yard.

Thats a feild of dreams.

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all kool works of art

Old station wagons are making a comeback, every person I know is looking for one. 💯

My 1960 Valient had the tire ring on the trunk, so I think it's the older ones. Awesome video!!!

👍 that's for the ( owner)guy that owns these cars and property good luck... A lot of beautiful cars ...

Hey Silas, great video as always, that small white coupe towards start might be a Hilman, no clue on year. Keep on TRUCKIN' DUDE, your adventures remind me so much of my youth!! Thanks for memories!! Mike from Delaware.

Yay, more AMFS!

Such a pleasure to look the AMFS videos, nice pictures, good sound, no boarding Blabla. Like Goodpliers talking is making me sleepy, also the pictures not very good. What a contrast to Salis.

Si mca Aronde French car circa 58 I had one and I had an early 50s Hillman work beater years ago bloody good car actually

Great video Silas. We just got a streaming service so I’m watching on the front room TV. The little custom may be an Austin; looks like they tunneled the taillights and had a hood scoop at one time

Used to be a small junkyard with only pre 1970 cars only in Fordsville Ky. It was named Brown's. When i was in my 20s i rode with my moms then husband took me there ans we walked around. He picked out three 1947-1950 chevrolets. He had already brought home a complete 1947 Fleetline two door car that we soaked the cyls for 2 months and messed around with the rest of the car, brakes and etc. then got the stovebolt to turn over after soaking in kroil. Once the starter turned thru the harness we pumped the oil out, set up the original ignition to fire, carb had already been gone thru. A replacement factory fuel pump and a new tank supplied the fuel. It started and ran. Got it to idle and we drove it down Ky-54 just like it was meant to be. That car had the vac canister that would shift the three on the tree "automatically" if the revs were up then the clutch pushed in at a certain rpm. Weirdest poor man auto ever. Anyway there was a total of 4 chevrolets pulled from that yard. He put 3 down in the bottom for "someday" but truth is those other 3 were too far gone. One was a 50 Chev hardtop 2 door. My love is Oldsmobiles and this Brown's yard had more than a few. The place is closed to the public now, but i think it still exists.

Some of my best memories as a young man was walking through old junk yards.

Silas I wish you had got a better shot of that 70 Ford Custom or Galaxie and looked at the speedometer to see if it was an old police car, It would have said 140 certified calibration. Been looking for one of those for a long long time.

smooth as butter! Walked past a continentel kit on the windsor

I grew up on a salvage yard most of my life in the Heartland. No matter where my feet might take me, I'm a Jayhawker for life...

Thousands of cars in a field = junk yard. My great-uncle had a junkyard, and on paper it looked like an amazing collection of cars. On paper.

You should buy the 58 Chevy station wagon.❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

I miss having a junkyard like this nearby. Now they dont let you walk around anymore except for a tiny fenced area at the front with a small amount of cars that are always picked clean.

wish there was a salvage yard like this around me

I’ll never understand how people want to ruin something that is from a different time and is basically history just baffles me…

As to feeling old, I long ago observed that a sure sign you're getting old is when the cars you rode in as as kid are being driven in founder's day parades.

I had a chance to buy 3 1950s Mercedes near me for $100 each, as long as I didn't crush them, but at the time I was selling my property and had no where to store them. I had to move them within a week, or they were headed to a scrap dealer for scrap price (which was more than $100). So I posted in a vintage Mercedes group, and some fool claimed my offer was a scam, so people balked at the chance to rescue them....to the crusher they went. A sad day.

That Oldsmobile is awesome 2:10

So many cool cars. I got a thing for old wagons. I saw an old comet in there too. 😍

you always buy Corvairs in pairs, that way you can bury 1 and cover it up with the other one 🤣

Woh 😂 I spotted the MK1 Ford Fiesta (or same as model at about 25 minutes) they've got a major cult following over here, they used to put Escort RS Turbo engines in them, more recently the Zetec Focus engine/ turbo conversion, rare old peach nowadays, was my granny first car as a Ford company car in the 70s.

Awesome video Silas

This place would be SOLD OUT! if located in The Netherlands! We love vintage American cars, but they are rare here.

Good job Silas, I counted 18 times “ COOL this and COOL that which is about 1/2 the usual times. I heard several “neat “ also several “ interesting “ descriptions. Great video. Wonder what taxes on that much property are. Have a good one yourself.
