    Thank You Spencer.
    Loved the video and your unique attention to detail.
    I have visited Old Car City a couple of years ago and will be back there in two weeks time.
    It is an amazing place and your day goes by so fast.
    This time I will slow things down and try to observe more and shoot less shots but hopefully
    shoot better quality.
    Thank you for keeping the roots of photography alive.

      @aaron71 6 років тому +14

      That's what I was thinking. I get the whole 'museum' aspect... but that only applies if it's being preserved... which obviously this isn't! People would get more enjoyment out of these cars if they were restored or if their parts were used for restorations. Such a waste, as cool as it is.

    • @dr_olds1430
      @dr_olds1430 6 років тому +7

      I agree, I do like looking at cars in this condition, as when you look at them you see what they were/what they could become. In sense when we look at these cars we really see the restored state and not the rusted heap that a non-car person sees. And the reason we look at these cars is because we desire to restore them and bring them back to life, not to poke around in a junk pile, as that's what most likely what the owners are thinking.

    • @patrickdionne2333
      @patrickdionne2333 6 років тому +5

      Voice of reason Jeff, here is an article with a quote from the owner:
      "Like all good art, Old Car City is not without controversy. Collectors hoping to score a bargain leave the place grumbling and dissatisfied. “Everything is for sale,” Dean told us, “But only at a price that makes it worth it for me. If I sell this, it’s gone. I don’t have it anymore. I can’t replace it.”
      So it is not a junk yard it is a grave yard. Art? RRrrigh-t.

    Glad to see you found this place--dad and I and my wife "tripped" over it last summer on a motorcycle trip and had to stop and see what it was all about. Watch out for a large, local, older gentleman who walks with a cane--he "trapped" us for quite a while and went on and on about the "amazing vision someone had to have to make this place a reality..." I don't know about vision--if I recall, it was an operational junkyard that got passed down a generation to someone who couldn't make money selling parts so he keeps the paths mowed and charges you $15 bucks to walk through. "Vision" or not, I guess it worked...the three of us paid them $45 to get in! Anyway, don't forget to buy your Old Car City 2018 calendar on Facebook ;-) Always enjoy your videos!!!

    As far as I can tell, that's a 1963 Dodge 330 station wagon at 9:02. Not a hearse, just a family wagon. I inherited one of those from my grandmother for my first car. It was white. But it had a red interior like this one. Even in 1980 it was impossible to find these in junk yards. Needed a tailgate window. Never found one.

      Indeed~it brought to mind memories of our summer drives dn to Mississippi/Louisiana when I was a kid - everybody & our luggage all smooshed into the teeny Opal Cadet, then me & my dog Fluffy in Daddy's old white station-wagon, & later all of us & Fluffy in Mom's blue Ford Pinto. No seatbelt laws quite yet, so me & the dog could stretch out in back w/the cooler, blankets, my books & roadgames & look out the window, or throw a pillow between the folks & watch out front. The earliest trips were pre-interstate, so there were lots of oddly graded, winding country roads until we made it to the south, then paved straight lines as far as the eye could see. Sigh. I wanna go on a road trip now...

    Im less than 30 miles from old car city. It is sad to see all those cars sitting rotting away, they use to sell parts I bought quite a few from the old man. Don't know why they stopped. Some hard to find parts in that junk yard.

    Wowzers! I wanna go here! Surprised to see a 2 door post 56 Chevrolet on that car circle! Some of these cats are junk, but a few definitely looked restorable! Those fins are a 60 and 58 Cadillac! Spotted one Corvair! That'd be my art car! Corvairs are awesome little cars!

    There sound like they’re trying to sell you an annual pass.
    Also... I’m pretty sure that in the summer they change the name to ‘wasp nest city’.
