Abandoned Classics
United States
Приєднався 6 лис 2023
Fast becoming the most inappropriately named Classic Car channel on UA-cam.
There are only so many abandoned classics in my neighbourhood and so the Abandoned Classics channel is now becoming all things Classic Cars. Which is what it should have been in the first place. My name's Nick, a Brit living in Georgia USA. Two of my passions are aeroplanes and classic cars. Flying pays the bills but on my days off I'm hunting down (mostly) American automotive art and history wherever I can find it. I'd also like to keep the British end up too - covering as many stateside British and also European cars as I can - we'll see how that pans out. My own classics have included a '76 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and a '75 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. Consider subscribing for more classics, abandoned and otherwise!

It might well be. First impressions are it's a solid car with very little corrosion evident. Thanks to Pitstop Auto Repair in Atlanta and its friendly proprietor for allowing me to take a look. Current at January 7th 2024. Last year of the push-button auto. This one will come up real nice!

Carol Shelby's Mustang GT500 is just one exhibit at the 'Miles Through Time' Car Museum in Clarkesville Georgia. Founded by Sean Mathis in 2017, this automotive extravaganza might be the new kid on the block, but it certainly packs some punch when it comes to showcasing some of America's automotive history (with a few British and European examples in there too). From a 1915 Model T Ford to a 20...

Abandoned Classics is back for round two! The first visit to Old Car City USA simply wasn't long enough to cover everything. There's new stuff here and we re-visit some of the cars from the last video to better identify them. Check out those hidden classic car gems right here!

Beautiful Cadillac.
Coker does a cruise-in in the spring and let people tour the museum, GREAT TIME!
It would have a great second life in period movies
That’s not a series 61. The B pillar is slanted on the 61’s and the license plate is above the trunk latch. That looks like a series 62.
Man, I had an Opel Manta back in Hungary! What a cool place you’ve found! Thanks for the video!
😍 I very likett this sammahud
umm...erm...ahh...how do you get 190SL when the trunk lid says 300SL?
It’s a special gift
You didn't go to the tow museum in Chattanooga?
No but definitely worth visiting at some stage
I owed one 35 years ago. It belonged to the Arab Embassy UK. Bullet proof windows and doors. Remote start. Black and gold roof. Hole for flags on the fenders. Mint condition. Classy car..
Nice!
To say "rolling art" is an understatement.............beautiful automobiles
NOT VERY GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY TOO QUICK AND TOO FEW ACTUAL PROFILE SHOTS WE DON'T SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING HERE THAT'S LONG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY SEE THEM .
Hey William! Thanks for feedback buddy. Will work on that 😀
VERY NICE VIDEO JUST WANTED TO SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THEM . SORRY ABOUT THAT DIDN;T REALLY MEAN TO BE CRITICAL@@AbandonedClassicsOne
No probs thanks William. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point and can spend more time on them
Beautiful
300 SL
The Corvette appears to be a 1967, 1966's had 3 vertical "gills" behind the front wheels.
Great info - thanks!
I say old chap, you need to learn your American automobiles before recording.
Agreed - definitely a WIP. Gotta start somewhere I guess!
Great museum !! .. loved it !
STUNNING CAR!
I will have to visit! That T-head Mercer Raceabout deserves a much closer look.
Perhaps on the next visit!
wow, this guy can't pronounce the cars names
I may have got Jaguar but the lesser known US marks - still a WIP!
Thanks. Great video...Hope to be there to see the 50 Ford coupe....Keep up the good work.
It’s a 300SL
Don't know how I managed to miss that one. It's on the trunk and the display placard 😳
Never heard of a "Stootz" before
That makes two of us!
That Mercedes was a 300SL, easily the most expensive car there! The Crane-Simplex is also a very well designed and expensive performance car of its day.
Thanks Rick. 300SL is there on the boot/trunk too which I didn’t see at the time!
An absolute beauty. I would love to own this car and butcher engine and gearbox, replace with M140i engine and gearbox, driveshaft and suspension. Hmmm
Very informative. Looks like I am getting motivated to get myself a classic car
❤❤❤ very beautiful jar ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks honey!
Get an American to narrate
This SL has not the single round front headlights and it has the racing folding door handles and it has not the red round knob headlights from the 190 Limousine so it is no 190 SL , it is a 300 SL 1957 to 1963… 1 million euro on wheels…
Thanks again Benny - 300 SL is written on the trunk which for some reason I didn’t see at the time!
A 1969 XK E-Type must be a MK 1b or MK 2 version….
Yep definitely too late to be a Mark I despite my commentary
Chalmers wasn‘t it the company that merged with Maxwell? And then Walter Chrysler installed his Dodge factory there?
Had to look that one up and yes you're right! Chalmers to Maxwell which ultimately formed the foundation of Chrysler.
It is an XK 150 with the broad grille produced between 1958 to 1961, the 140 has also narrow grille with less metal sticks which are thick chrome mantled..
Thanks Benny. Great info!

Wow so beautiful ❤
Great video along with a very good awareness of American cars. My wife actually commented on your accent on a video focusing on American cars. She and I agree that a proper British accent is always a pleasure - Well done!!
Appreciate the comments - thanks David!
Sad to see all that debris old branches and leaves on those cars that just accelerates the rust and corrosion sad sad
Most popular cars in the US is Tri 5 Chevy and old funeral cars and the 64 Chevy Impala s
Thanks! I've put the amazing Impala SS in the thumbnail
10:54 It's a french car, renault 10 😉 Thank you for this visit, these wrecks are magnificent under the trees ! 😍 Greetings from France 👍
Renault 10 - thank you!
Explains their tire pricing!
The museum and the tire store are not owned by the same people anymore. The tire business was sold off a number of years ago. My wife and I were there in May '23 and we toured the museum and then visited the tire store. The lady who we talked to there had been working there since before the business was sold. BTW, there are several very interesting things this mans video didn't capture, like the wooden wheel shop.
The high tire price profits bought all the collector cars! Also the “books” showing those huge profits helped to determine the selling price of the business…which explains the continued high prices of the tires!@@markchapmon8670
Very nice jar ❤️❤️❤️
Simply wonderful to see so much automotive history - thank you !!!
What you named as a Simca was actually a Renault.
It's a Renault! Thanks Allen. I kind of see it now I look at it.
I wonder how much they want for the Red 59 Caddy ?
Would be nice. Apparently they don't want to sell anything! 😕
Thank you for keeping camera still and focused on cars, you clearly understand the desire of car enthusiasts to see the details of the car. Great job.
Nice video and cars! However, I live in the dry Southwest and the humid climate in Georgia is rough on the cars metal.
A '55 Chevy is NOT A COUPE ! It was and still is a hardtop.
Thanks Robert!
This one's not but could be a "post" car, a "sedan"if you will.
Studebaker was a 51 and the Pontiac was a 66. Chrysler was a 66.
Cool. Thanks for info!
More than 500.000 capris exported to north America.
Wow. A massive market for Ford then
@@AbandonedClassicsOne well ford of Germany.. Maybe not Dagenham. I guess they fill the boats up coming back from there exports..
I’ve often wondered where my old cars are resting today.
That "Plymouth Executive" Was a Pontiac, maybe a Catalina.
Yep definitely a Pontiac!
