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.
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
...WOW!!! Brings back memories...Jerome was more of a ghost town back in the 70s. It becomes more and more commercial as the years go by. Same for Sedona, but the outskirts are beautiful. l really enjoyed the Gold King Mine, thank you for sharing :)
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..
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.
It's absolutely amazing ! I so enjoy these trips around backwater America. I wonder who owns all the historic vehicles ? I bet some restorers would like to bring them back to life. Thanks ever so much. Colin UK.
I thnk there would have to be an awful of of enthusiasts to work on this lot. Which could you choose out of all those. I wouldn't know where to start..
New to the channel, and I too love history! 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! PS: Me: OG(68) from Boise, Idaho, where 'Jerome' is a farming town in the Snake River!
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 !
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.
Wow one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! I saw 3 of the old trucks I've owned, still have one of them. A real step back in time thanks for posting!
I think I saw a school bus from the era I went to elementary school. Did a ghost hunt you down at the end? Very interesting old stuff and thanks for the dronage with Dora.
Once again thank you for this little adventure, this place is fascinating and Im putting this on my list of places to go since I live north of Arizona.
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!
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.
1:50 back story on 1907 Studabaker Electric Car. Worth researching. Don found in barn installed new Lead acid batteries. Won almost every event in International Electric car meet in Phoenix and was Banned to come back.
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.
I lived in prescott az 05-09 a half hour drive down the mtn from where you are there in jerome 5500 ft above sea level the gold king copper mine man & his wife from california who was an engineer was in an industrial accident moved to jerome after settlement of accident bought the old mine property & collected restored early whats he charged $10. to fire up that generator engine that came from a mine elsewhere here would fire up a tractor that off its pto large leather belt would turn & air up a large compressor that in turn would be used to fire up "bertha" those three exaust pipes are directed right @ downtown jerome he then would retard the spark on bertha & make it backfire for our $10. amusement he took in travelers & hired them taught them a skill while improvement to the early toys he collected & restored eclectic museum of the gold king mine thanks to them....
people living there doent make it a "ghost" town just a very poor town ! CRAPPY VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are all this cars and trucks left like this and why do not renovate them well those you can renovate`...if i lived there i would walk there hours after hours and for someone who like old cars this is great...sad in many ways they are left like this...Well any way thanks from a stil cold sweden whit no desert like you have and i like our woods and the green more than desert..:)
Cool place went there in the 80’s ! My boss’s sister and husband owned the House of Joy restaurant there in town . Yes it was a brothel back in the day!
I drove through Jerome in 1973 on my way to LA with my sister i was helping her move out there to go to college. She wanted to take the seneic route and man did we.
You and your family can explore the grounds of the Gold King Mine and step back in time. Don’t forget your camera! The photographic opportunities are endless. Plan on spending at least a few hours if you enjoy photography! Studebakers Harley Davidsons Working Sawmill Old Trucks Old Tools Fire Trucks
Honestly the place gives more the vibe of 'I bought an old mine site because it was cheap... so I stored all my projects out there for when I eventually (never) get to them...' Still a cool site though... some part shoppers could have a hey-day with the old vehicles!
Have not visited Jerome since the 80s looks about the same and it is a really cool place to visit. Sedona never disappoints. I live in central Maine where did you spend time with your grandfather? Thanks for sharing your adventures.
What a fantastic place to visit! I could spend hours there. I wonder if it would be possible to buy one of those Studebaker Larks or one of the Ford pickups out there. Enjoyed the video very much!
Thanks for watching! If you like the video please share it to support future content!
truly breathtaking to see how humans effectively destroy and contort the landscape to fit their needs

Amazing footage on foot and in the air. I never get tired of videos exploring these towns. ❤

Thank you for this very interesting video. I love old stuff, especially old cars. Thanks again.
Wow! This was an amazing video. Thank you for taking us along.
Cool place! I'd like to see this one day. Those trucks and vehicles and engines are antiques. I can't believe so many are just left there.
They are watched over, it is a place for a great little visit. So awesome. 🙋♂️🇺🇲🙏👍👍
It's not just detritus, it's a collection.
That's my home town.. family tree goes back before copper mining. Some say my folks settled their before 1776...
A bit overwhelming, in the greatest way.
MAN! dat'z da cooliss.
Shitz old dude.
Nice vid in Jerome
New to the channel, and I too love history!

Took my wife there last January. Awesome place to visit. Good content!
Great job showing all the contents of this Ghost Town.
Thank-you so much, now ill have to go back there again. And thank you for your service. 🙋♂️🇺🇲🙏👍👍
Amazing video, what a place!
This isn’t a ghost town. This looks like a staged tourist attraction
Very cool, really enjoyed!!!!!
There's nothing I love more (outdoors 😉) than rusty old trucks! Bucket list destination for me!
Thanks that was an awesome video!! I could spend hours in that ghost town. 😊
I really don't get why, was it a collector or what, mind blown 😮
Great video!
Thanks for the tour! I usually go on google maps and travel the U.S, but this is much better.

Wow, it’s my truck heaven. Beautiful rigs.
I could spend weeks there sketching, painting and taking photos.
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Greetings from Nashville, Trooper615/Isuzu Trooper Mafia.
Wow one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! I saw 3 of the old trucks I've owned, still have one of them. A real step back in time thanks for posting!
Looks like very cool place to wonder around 😀 Great video thanks for taking us there 😎
Awesome! I ❤️ junkyards and history.👍👍👍👍
Nelson on steroids
I think I saw a school bus from the era I went to elementary school. Did a ghost hunt you down at the end?
Very interesting old stuff and thanks for the dronage with Dora.
That excavator was old as dirt. I havent seen one of those that complete besides in photos. Awesome video.
Thats nothing my trans am has a 12000 cubic inch V8....
Neat place. Thanks for posting.
Yo fui ahi esta muy bonito❤❤❤❤❤❤
Once again thank you for this little adventure, this place is fascinating and Im putting this on my list of places to go since I live north of Arizona.
Super cool place thanks for sharing this
The coolest Ghost Town I have ever seen on YT, nice work!
Awesome vehicles what a shame to let them rot.
Does anyone keep the nicer indoor cars and trucks up? Do people steal from there? The vehicles don’t look as though they’ve been vandalized at all.
Cool place. So many old machines and vehicles. Thank you William.☮️💖🎶
Cool place, will have to visit it.
The majority of those vehicles were brought in there. They are not remnants from the original town. The people of Jerome despise Gold King.
What a collectors paradise!!!
Cool place
Da gibt es mehr zu sehen als vor 30 Jahren, als ich das letzte Mal in Jerome war. Fine video and good to understand for us old Germans!
Very cool
Outstanding video, WonderHussy is slipping, keep up the good exploration, this video was superb! Happy Trails!

Been years since i was there. Do they charge to walk it now.

That Studebaker wagon you showed is actually the last year for the Packard brand! That thing is SUPER RARE! Someone would pay good money for that!

You should visit the wickenburg mine near wickenburg Arizona they still have the man diesels at that mind and his room to be haunted
Awesome place,love that kind of old stuff makes me want to have a junkyard of my own or do I already?
An old town full of treasures with a gift shop full of shiny shite
This place looks like any moment 50 or 60 people will start coming in to work.
Were you the only one there? If so at 5min 30 sec you can hear a faint voice of a man. Turn vol up to hear it
I've been there. Don't forget to visit the haunted Arizona Grand.
That 10k cube engine is shown running on UA-cam 11 years ago uploaded
Sería muy agradable todo este video pero en español
please slow your camera down so we can see and enjoy what you are filming
This place really looks like the PUBG game map……
i wanna go there on my next road trip out west if they'll have me.
We visited there several years ago. Definitely worth the trip!
Somebody must be guarding that place
Ware is that place I am going to take one of those vehicles for my self
You and your family can explore the grounds of the Gold King Mine and step back in time. Don’t forget your camera!
The photographic opportunities are endless. Plan on spending at least a few hours if you enjoy photography!

Can paranormal and finding ghosts work here?
Очень красиво. Мне все очень нравится. Очень интересные старые машины.
is satellite ok ? easier to ask for forgiveness, than it is permission
crazy car is more the likely a Milk man delivery van.
They used to start that giant generator for 5 dollars.
Honestly the place gives more the vibe of 'I bought an old mine site because it was cheap... so I stored all my projects out there for when I eventually (never) get to them...' Still a cool site though... some part shoppers could have a hey-day with the old vehicles!
Have not visited Jerome since the 80s looks about the same and it is a really cool place to visit. Sedona never disappoints. I live in central Maine where did you spend time with your grandfather? Thanks for sharing your adventures.
What a fantastic place to visit! I could spend hours there. I wonder if it would be possible to buy one of those Studebaker Larks or one of the Ford pickups out there. Enjoyed the video very much!
Que lugar que quase não tem árvore e tudo um deserto
Don’t feed Donkeys Carrots. According to the town of Oatman famous for their Burro’s carrots cause a malformation on the burro’s neck.
We were there by accident Sat.. pretty cool place
10 cents a pound we’re is the scrap yard
A street sweeper setting amoung the trucks?
Who lives in a house like that "Michele Bates"
Again, a very nice video. Good work.
These need in auto shows milaaged etc.
