I'm 64, have always loved old cars and old car "junkyards" which is a very relative term! When I was a kid exploring a place like this would have been heaven- still is!
Would never be able to run a place like that. I'd try to restore them all and went bankrupt in the process. These were all someone's pride and joy once. Someone was saving money trying to order his dream model in dream trim level and color. And they now just sit neglected, alone and sad. 11:09 - omg a Nash ! They exist ! 14:37 - yay a sexy spiky rocketship in form of a '61 Cad 18:15 - '59 Bonneville flattop ! Someone go love it ! 18:31 - omg a '46-'48 DeSoto coupe ! 21:21 - a '51 Chrysler ! Not many like them visually, but ya know, first Hemi. 26:02 - that's one weird piece of a '59 Ford. Took me a few years to even notice how it's solved. Usually you'd either get a crease on the body or a bumper extension. Here they did 2 in 1 but it still had to be treated with trim piece for the top model to make it more posh.
your walking up a line of cars and I'm trying to look behind you, on my monitor, at cars you passed. Now I know where all the cool cars of the past are located. I'm glad they didn't get crushed or disposed of.
I had a 59 skyliner and it was bad bad shape in the sixties. came from Michigan and was rusted beyond my own belief. I first saw it in and about when this one was like five years old, and it showed the start of this rust issue but only about three years later, it was at a stage that even now, I doubt I could of fixed it because I was just guessing but using this box on my shoulders... I was seventeen in 66, I got in trouble for fighting as I won my emancipation when I was fifteen, was in front of a judge who was very tired of me in front of him for assault charges, I was fighting like a man on fire, I hit a officer by mistake and was in jail like with a quickness. He was going to send me to adult prison or joint the service so see, thats like being drafted! Meaning that this car, a salmon pink an white retractable was in bad shape in 66! I got the car from "Harvey" who was also in jail for fighting and what not but he was in his twenties at the time and I got this car from his dad because they just wanted it gone, it was too rusty for them then. Orville sold me the car really cheap as it was stuck on the engine as well and the car was only six years old!!!! I am now trying to figure this out better... see I couldn't store this rust bucket as friends were something I had very few of. It was just after I got the engine unstuck and running again, the radiator was just cores standing there. It was already that bad and it got so hot that this engine was heat stuck, it was a bad engine by then, I had to force the top down as I wanted to see it with that top down, but all the motors in the top were too rusty to hold their shape and so I pried that top back up. So in sept., I got the judge already in my sights, meaning I sold this car really cheap with the michigan title in 66 without the time to actually put it in my name even to Lawrence Sopher, I wen to fort bragg in the last part of sept or very first of oct. I never had a chance to find another one when I got home in first part of 70...., so I did buy some more 59's in seventy on, and then got the 64 1/2 in march of 71 but it was from Roseburg oregon. Point is the barely six year old car was that bad that they just junked the car before it was even ten years old Meaning the rust in michigan was terrible back then. See I turned twenty one later in seventy but could drink legal at eighteen in alaska so got a job just before my 21st birthday and just before the fourth of july... so still a kid kinda, I got that job in alaska and went there to have to wait for the forth of july shutdown before going out to camp. It was my first job in alaska but for sure not my last as I came home in the middle of nov., got married in a big hurry to a girl who didn't really know me on the 3rd of december and now it is all clear to me.... I sure wish I had kept that title as I knew that they were junking that car when I sold it meaning the title alone would of still been worth something. WOW.... I should of remembered it better before starting this comment! Old age for me now is kinda tough as I have not spent much time out of alaska since my very first job or being in washington state for a short time waiting for spring breakup. So now dad was born in thirteen, n mom was in twenty one. My step moms were from a good many of different years... some were born in times older and the youngest was right close to my same year, just many years long later on. I'm clear out of my own comfort zone now an not so sure just why, for all of this cept many of folks reading stuff we comment on, will chat me a bit also. I just love a good story of my times an old cars we drove or fixed up. I had forgotten about a car that I so did like to drive/own and watch on the tube. That car your fixing is sixty two years old and so nice looking, mine didn't last as long as its taken in comparison to reading my comment way way too long. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I sure hope to see more of this car your fixing up
Hey I 'm definitely interested in your restoration work. I've got a 59 Galaxie 2-door hardtop with a 352 ci. It runs and drives but I would love to bring it up to a #4 condition. Nice job on the paint. Is that the newer epoxy paint, or the type of paint it would gotten at the factory? Darren from Indianapolis
"Stuff" bogs us all down LOL. Guess since you haven't posted in a while YT is punishing you. I didn't get any notice. Just found this by accident. It may be too late, but I'd watch a swap meet vid. Things are getting sparse around me in New England. Curious if it's everywhere or not.
Glad your back! At 5:14 in the video you pass a 67 impala/Bel air? Do you go to this yard alot? If so would you mind looking over this car or any other 67 models? I have a 67 Bel air 2dr sedan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like a 88 or a Cutlass, can't tell because of the weeds or I could be able to tell , I can't sée the steering wheel either to quick to get a glimpse of it, but I enjoy your videos.
I'm listing parts for my mechanic. He has a pair of '59 Ford tailights. Also a pair of '59 Ford headlight trim. If you interested, please let me know. I haven't watched the whole video yet. Doing that now.
Hey there. At 19:11 you showed a 58 ford. I am in need of a radiator support for my 58 Fairlane 500 2dr hardtop. How would I go about seeing if this yard would have one
I'm 64, have always loved old cars and old car "junkyards" which is a very relative term! When I was a kid exploring a place like this would have been heaven- still is!
Agreed! I LOVE going thru yards like these. So much fun

The yellow Pontiac looks awesome too.
Did you see the 1960 Sunliner? Walking through a wrecking yard is therapy for me
волшебное место
That truck would be a great project for a tilt bed or a long flat bed.
What a great channel I suggest you don't pay attention to your negative viewers commentators, I must your doing a great job,👋👍
your walking up a line of cars and I'm trying to look behind you, on my monitor, at cars you passed.
Now I know where all the cool cars of the past are located. I'm glad they didn't get crushed or disposed of.
Looks awesome
I'd love to get a few projects from this place.
Show us the swap meets!
Junk is another man's dream project.
That coupe is awesome.
Wow those Cadillac on your left side of you are one of my favorites. 65 to 72 I think.
I would like to see your build videos

HEY==I HAD A 1957--EVER DID ANYTHING WITH IT===BLACK AND WHITE==
Piles of goodness.
Love to find a 67 fairlaine for my dad

A drone would really come in handy for this!
I’ve thought about this! Maybe I’ll get one for next year!!
You could really use a drone. You are very lucky to have that boeyard.
At least you know what and where stuff is at! 💥
Wow! The trunk on that old Ford is what we used to call the "4 body" variety! Nothing even remotely like it today ...
I was born September 1, 1959!
Kathy, I also was born in 1959...March 15th.....A LATE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MY DEAR.....& many more.......

Had to add that car is so sick and yes you are doing awesome don't let the comments get you down TTYL
In my neck of the woods, Copperheads and rattle snakes would abound in a place like that,

I'm listing parts for my mechanic. He has a pair of '59 Ford tailights. Also a pair of '59 Ford headlight trim. If you interested, please let me know. I haven't watched the whole video yet. Doing that now.
Will go check out a nother video I am a little behind on being up to snuff. Hopefully my gabbing will help you two out some.
Hey there. At 19:11 you showed a 58 ford. I am in need of a radiator support for my 58 Fairlane 500 2dr hardtop. How would I go about seeing if this yard would have one
Where you located?
Man I am about 8 videos behind. I will get busy.
I know where one of those heavy Chevy tow wagons are with a hydraulic flat bed just sitting in the old railroad right a way.
Are you in Minnesota or Wisconsin?
you need a quad to get around
Bottom dollar from insurance company. That is how we old guys are we have to move or arthritis takes over and hurts worse. It would be great build.
Killer cars everywhere in the place.
Hey guys can anyone tell me whr in ("Cleveland") that this place is the exact location???🤔Thanks!!👍
Cooley’s in Chippewa Falls WI
Where is this junk yard at
Cooley’s in Chippewa Falls WI
If you come across a 1971,73,75 Chevy Impala hardtop or convertible let me know.
Brother, i need some help 4 u 😊
Too bad u don't walk around the cool cars more. ..just walk on by!!
I have other walk around videos of this yard. This day was a mission, less of a tour.
Has to be a 88 because of the tail lights and I know that it isn't a Monte Carlo
There is a couple of cars I would like to get parts from and a couple of other ones I would like to save
When you're not filming for us maybe you should invest in a drone so you can find and go direct to the car you need
Jordan, Great video.....I just sent a text to Kristian's phone number about possible parts source for you.
Newer Cummins or something like that

I will get you some more likes and shared video!!! ⚡
I'm surprised you can't find 3d printed tail lights. Maybe you should scan yours and make a buck or two.
I will watch it just got to not be af work. Ugh
မြေခနေသောကားများ
you should totally videotape it! the worst that happens, nobody watches it.
😇 p͎r͎o͎m͎o͎s͎m͎
No wonder it's called a junk yard. Must be only poor folk over there? This whole place hasn't two cars worth a hoot.
Ok
