It would be cool to go back to the day the new owners drove those cars off the dealers lot and to see how good they looked and how proud the new owners were.
With this era, America lost its special character, which made it so exciting from a European perspective. The junkyards like this are memorial sites to a bygone nation. The autumn mood is perfect!
I really enjoyed the entire video! Thank you for taking the time and effort. Being near 70, all of these cars were common growing up, but very special now!
When I was ten, my Dad took me to a "Junkyard" in New Mexico that was like this, and it was a pick-a-part kind of place. I "picked" two hood ornaments off a 1951 and a 1953 Pontiac (one all-chrome, the other the amber chief's head). Got them both for 50 cents, total. Still have them 50 years later.
The yard of the dead cars. If this could have been shown to all these generations of buyer/owners...like a Time Machine. Most probably wouldn't have believed it. What do the Big 3 think of, when seeing a part of their legacy ? Matt this type of video is your specialty. The music fits with the depth of field shots of all the rows, it presents a surreal history *scope aura. It causes some of us over 63 years of age to remember all the cars we sat in when we *hitchhiked around the state. How many*beaters we drove at different ages. Seeing mentally the faces of the past and the jokes and dates, etc. Thank you sir !!🎉😊
This is not a junkyard. This is a museum. No shrubs nor trees growing through these beauties. These owners have done a great job preserving these beauties. This was a fantastic video. Thank you MattsRadShow.
MAN…. All the families stories, of owners of each vehicle, good ole times, best of times and even the hard n sad times if only the past could whisper stories of each vehicle’s journey of existence what it was like. That’s what goes through my mind when I see all these vehicles in this video, awesome video. I’m on the hunt for a affordable build 1969-70 Nova SS or not for my recently retired pastime hobby, hopefully I’ll find it. I stumbled on this video, again nice job on video.
Hey love the show you should do an episode on the guy who found his father's car thru your show or give an update that would be good show to see !!!!!!
Thanks walking yours and showing us all of these historical stories. So some interesting parts. If they hadn't any 1950 Oldsmobiles. Plus or minus a year. I'll have to call them.
Good stuff.... a lot of people would think this is just a guy walking through a junkyard with a camera. However, I noticed the editing and neat closeups and the panoramas.... Also the narration is kind of soothing. Calm, quiet comments. Reminds me of when I used to watch Bob Ross painting happy little trees on PBS years ago...I could walk through a salvage yard like this for hours. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks to you and this video I was able to get ahold of David at French Lake. @21:11 there are at least 10-12 Cutlasses with a rear quarter that I could use for my Rallye 350! I mentioned this well done video to him!
That first Lincoln IS an amazing car. I bought one from a guy in Stillwater mn just for the 430 engine in it. It was sunk down to the axels and all rusted out as the body is unitbody. That car is one if not THE longest car that came out of Detroit.
These were once loved by their original owners all of whom have probably passed away by now. Kind of sad to see them all left behind like this, abandoned and eroding away.
Matt, plenty of old Iron in this Junkyard. And plenty of parts, or possible restoration autos. Will of course be no titles. Enjoyed the visit. Thanks for sharing 💯👍
Those two 1954 Kaisers were a rare find. I had a 54 it was nice but had a 1956 Chevy 265 V8 in it. The Chevy had been rolled over a very late model car at the time so the undermanned 6 was pulled from the Kaiser. My 54 Kaiser had duel exhausts was pained black. It had been a two tone blue. Had the car for years but when I went into the Navy in 1968 we parted.
that's not their job, they have been used for parts for the past 30 years, missing a windscreen? maybe that is not sad because maybe some other car that was being restored is now still riding on the road with that very windscreen.
That's an amazing place pretty organized my favorite one is the 57 Ford at 10 125 looks pretty complete even if it's worse than it looks it was still look nice in my backyard nice video man
I have fallen in love with old station wagons. That 1959 Ford Country Squire in Wedgewood Blue + Colonial White is in amazing condition for nearly 63 years of age. Stickler about original colors too.
I agree, being from the UK these cars are the USA as I see it..........unfortunately today this era is over and the roads are full of boring plastic junk............luckily though these yards are still there full of classics.
Awesome video there man love them old cars I need no more projects though but just nice to know what's out there can't take care of the ones I got I got two of the gotta go together yet thanks for the video at least the wood ticks ain't out now!!!!
Loved the Studebaker's, Packard's, and Kaiser's. Wonder why they stuck one of the last Willy's Aero's next to a Hudson Jet? Many thousands of these brands were built, and they used to be ubiquitous and you wonder where they all went, I guess the same place all the people from those days went. Everything gets replaced in time.
54:30 1955 willys bermuda 4 door 2,215 units were built including 2 dr and 4 dr . looks like fairly complete . No Henry Js or that many old trucks i seen
At least someone was smart enough to not destroy all those old cars! Once they are gone that’s it! So parts cars are getting really hard to find these days! Rebuilding them are very costly though!
Why do we covet these cars so much? Even I feel this way. It seems like we are disillusioned by today's computer-generated car designs; they all look the same hence lack character. I wish I had millions so I could restore some of these cars.
these parts cars still there ? here in Md they would all have gone to the crusher. i would like to find a pair of matching mirrors like from an early Impalla
This is my second time watching this post
its one of your best that brings my memories back
Thanks Matt
The person who saved these cars, or rather saved them from the press, was a great fellow, huge thanks to him. We in Russia can only dream of such cars
I like that you don't rush and show the cars. The viewer can watch and enjoy the calmly
Glad you enjoy it man! 👍

I would not mind living there with all that treasure, beautiful better than disney land for sure
I really enjoyed the entire video! Thank you for taking the time and effort. Being near 70, all of these cars were common growing up, but very special now!
When autos were art on wheels. Thanks for doing this.

Very cool love the old yards - I could spend hours looking around
Thanks Matt 👍🙂

This is making me cry 😭....,....i love every one of these cars and trucks😭😭😭......I LOVE THIS !😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

My next holiday destination.
Best place to live. Would never gets boring...
Great video
Cool old cars 👍🏻
Greatings from Sweden 😉
the music - equal parts unsettling, emotional and nostalgic !- amazing video
At 18:20 I dig the old truck with the 'elevated' headlights.
Thanks walking yours and showing us all of these historical stories. So some interesting parts. If they hadn't any 1950 Oldsmobiles. Plus or minus a year. I'll have to call them.
I enjoyed watching that. Brings back memories..
Nice job. Thank you for sharing
This is a great video. The background music is bang on! The way cars were made and styled back then compared to the 💩 we have today!

Thanks for your kind words man. 🙏 appreciated.
É muita história neste pátio, fico pensando como as pessoas usavam estes carros antigamente, deveria ser muito bom
Beautiful. If I hit the lottery, I'd just buy one of these places, hire a bunch of people, and get these on the road. lol
That's awesome they let you out there to film and explore. There isn't anything like that where I am.
Yeah it's pretty great spot! 👍
I have a yellow Gremlin out there somewhere. 1979.
lots of beautiful cars ;'( RIP

Enjoy the video and I love the way he's got his car organized
I love Junk yard videos ! I really enjoyed this one ! Thank you Matt
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it man!
This is the nicest yard I’ve seen. Nicely organized
Hope they get a new life. Let's put them back on the road 🛣️🛣️🛣️😀😀😀
Good yard bro
Very cool Yard !
Matt, plenty of old Iron in this Junkyard. And plenty of parts, or possible restoration autos. Will of course be no titles. Enjoyed the visit. Thanks for sharing 💯👍
Yeah that's true.

Very good presentation
That 62 imapla is really nice loooking. I tried to buy a polara like that one when i was 15
Hi matt thanks for the tour my picks are the blue white fotds an some of the 50s 60s cars . Cheers mate🇦🇺
OMG those Kaisers at the beginning ! You can't treat poor Kaisers like that ! Someone get them and love them
Another great tour with Matt
Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE the blue Ford car hauler in the begining of the video. I've been looking for one for a long time. To bad it's so far away.
Great video. Some of those older rust buckets will be hard to bring back lol.
Or, near to impossible .
that's not their job, they have been used for parts for the past 30 years, missing a windscreen? maybe that is not sad because maybe some other car that was being restored is now still riding on the road with that very windscreen.
Wish i ciuld go there. I sure could use sime parts!❤
cool 😍
Парк юрского периода 👍
That's an amazing place pretty organized my favorite one is the 57 Ford at 10 125 looks pretty complete even if it's worse than it looks it was still look nice in my backyard nice video man
i like the ambient music
I’m still driving a 1969 Nomad 350 3 speed on the tree .of course I still have the original 6 banger . Had it since new yes I’m old.
I have fallen in love with old station wagons. That 1959 Ford Country Squire in Wedgewood Blue + Colonial White is in amazing condition for nearly 63 years of age. Stickler about original colors too.
Love a Lot This vídeo YOUR NEW SUSCRIBER 😃👋 Hi from Ensenada Baja California MÉXICO 🇲🇽 Saludos 👋
A lot of very nice cars. Without this cars the USA are finished
I agree, being from the UK these cars are the USA as I see it..........unfortunately today this era is over and the roads are full of boring plastic junk............luckily though these yards are still there full of classics.
I'm gonna have to visit here for sure, I looked it up and this place is like an hour away from my house
I've been wanting to get over there for years and have never been. I should just say heck it and and go before the snow comes.
Yeah. That's why I wanted to get out there now too. Snows a comin!
@@MattsRadShow snow, what is snow? (european here, we have like 2 days of snow a year..... )
Wow!!!
as the owner of 2 mercury cougars 68/70 it was sad to the one in this yard rotting away !
Very well done. Wasn't there a Buick section? Thanks, Rob The Netherlands Europe
Stunning vedeo. One more subscriber !
Love your style of caputring the true style of times gone by.. new sub..love it..
Can hardly wait for boating season with Matt
Great! Thank you!
Awesome video there man love them old cars I need no more projects though but just nice to know what's out there can't take care of the ones I got I got two of the gotta go together yet thanks for the video at least the wood ticks ain't out now!!!!
I bought parts from one of those Edsel's. Easy people to deal with
Good cars in thire😮
Bom birdifor😂
I'd drive that ol Lincoln just the way it is.
Great video! Rust never looked so good.
When cars had faces
I've never seen a 2 door Continental before, and they have 2 of them! Also, somebody save that '42 Nash PLEASE! Super rare and looks nice.
.
If.only.they.could.talk.imagine.australia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that white car is probbly bought and will be restored ,might end up in sweden as we love those cars , I run some myself
And I was SO hoping to see a 1954 (specific) Series 62 Cadillac Sedan, needing both front fenders off of one
Loved the Studebaker's, Packard's, and Kaiser's. Wonder why they stuck one of the last Willy's Aero's next to a Hudson Jet?

maybe some atoms in your current car came from recycled steel of a 50s car
Scary car graveyard! Engines might start revving up and horns start honking.
That's gonna be some Christine like vibes of course!
54:30 1955 willys bermuda 4 door 2,215 units were built including 2 dr and 4 dr . looks like fairly complete . No Henry Js or that many old trucks i seen
Oh No 1958 EDSELS, JUS 1959'S DAMN. NEED PARTS FOR THE 58 LARGEST EDSEL SERIES.😁😉👍
would any of those still have anything useful in them for you if they were the correct model?
75 percent looks like 4 doors. That 62 impala was pretty clean. Good entry level car for a beginner
Great stuff.
Well seasoned, vintage, classic etc.
Many words to describe the great cars there.
Are you sure they are all OLD?
And each one is saying: "Just a few more miles, please".
WE FOUND SOME 1958 NEAR THE PLYMOUTHS ..
Can't believe that GTO is there?!
Great video. Never see stuff like this in Australia. Would love to see the Buick row. We're there any Caddy's there? Cheers.
At least someone was smart enough to not destroy all those old cars! Once they are gone that’s it! So parts cars are getting really hard to find these days! Rebuilding them are very costly though!
The styling of the '59 Olds Dynamic 88 sedan sure lives up to the name. It's a flat-top, too 😀
Sir, why are there no 2nd generation Camaros to restore ? I live in Brazil and really like your videos
Classics are designated as such based on unique characteristics.
These are vintage based solely on age. Collectable is another matter.
Why do we covet these cars so much? Even I feel this way. It seems like we are disillusioned by today's computer-generated car designs; they all look the same hence lack character. I wish I had millions so I could restore some of these cars.
When I was in Minnesota I saw a lot of cars on the road with rusred out frames and finders. So I hate to tink how bad some of these must be. 😩
You should film coyote classics classic car dealership in Greene iowa
I love 4 doors people do not like 4 doors for some reason but for me they are valuable as the 2 doors
👍👍👍👍
No.computers.back.then❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes the red primers car is a 1962 Ford thunderbird
these parts cars still there ? here in Md they would all have gone to the crusher. i would like to find a pair of matching mirrors like from an early Impalla
To bad they don't roll up the windows on these cars.
