      OMG, the 1928 Studebaker race car is priceless. Really
      I've an odd Passion for Studebakers and a couple of other automobiles makers from the era of 1928 - 1940. In my perspective, the decade of the 1930's saw the most innovative and most attractive "body designs" in the whole 20th Century.
      Really appreciate this share. It is like time travel.
      I must visit Jerome. I lived in So Nevada for nearly 20 years 1991 - planning a trip to Arizona and this inspired me beyond words.
      Enjoy your Explorations and Discoveries ...
      Beth
      PS: This is worthy of a revisit on a warmer day. There's a great deal more in the footage that was interesting and worth a closer look.

    I grew up in Arizona and went to Jerome a few times as a kid in the late '60's. At that time the whole town was empty, minus a dozen or so hippies that were squatting there, and we were able to explore everything, probably being some of the first people inside some of the abandoned buildings. It was definitely one of the highlights of my life as a prepubescent kid from the city. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me..

    DAMN!!! This place has it all!!! 2 Dodge L600s!!! White Compact ex-Safeway truck! No shortage of any flavor of Studebakers or Internationals! The tracked military vehicle at 3:36 is called a M-29 Weasel. It had a Studebaker inline 6 engine and manual transmission of some sort.

    Don Robertson was the proprietor of Gold King ghost town, He passed away in Nov 2016 ,he collected the vast majority of the old vehicles, He was true lover of the old equipment, A very colorful individual missed by many RIP

    Come from a long line of family of miners who lived in Jerome and Oatman AZ. Many are buried in Jerome, when i lived in Camp Verde I often thought of moving back to Jerome, the family house is still standing & it's now a bed & breakfast Back in the 1960's Jerome had maybe a dozen or so residents i remember a 3 story house a block from downtown with good bones that could be rehabbed was for sale for $600 obo. Of coarse i should have bought it, now it would probably fetch around $250k in as- was condition.

    At 3:36, that is a WWII "Weasel" meant for crossing swampy and snowy land. The truck at 5:32 is also military - a 1941 Dodge 1/2-ton but with nonoriginal hood, grille, and cargo bed.Yellow rig at 5:59 is a more original WWII 1/2-ton Dodge too. Saw some others in the backgrounds.

    I was uncertain of where you were at first. Jerome is a common town name. Maybe help your viewers engage by giving a quick synopsis at the beginning, map location etc.
    Liked, and subscibed cuz my mom (RIP) was born in Yuma, Az!

    My 53 panel truck’s steering wheel and the words Golden Jubilee, I believe on the horn button. The engine was a 223 cost clipper six cylinder and had a picture of a clipper ship on the valve cover good old machine that I’d love to have back! But I was a teenager and it was ‘party central’ for whole time I had it!

    I went there a few years ago, I love that place. But I'm pretty sure that's not the largest ghost town. There are just a few buildings, a lot of trucks were added later. For me that's just a cool outdoor junk museum.
    Try to go to Eagle Mountain, California, this is what I call a large ghost town !

    Most of that collection was put together by a nice Old Guy named Don Robertson. He liked to to talk to you and would start up the Indy race car and various other things. He built that car with a 1930s Studebaker straight eight. He used to run it on dirt tracks. Don loved old Studebakers. Sadly Don passed about 6 or 7 years ago. I believe his daughter run the place now. Last time I was there was about 4 years ago.
