    I used to go by there on my way home from Amarillo, going down US 83 in the evening and wishing I had time to stop . . . . . . I’m retired now, maybe it’s time for a visit to Wellington 🤔😉🙂

    I was born in 1964 but I think I should have been born way before then myself

    Watching this video I started smelling oil, grease, and dust. The smell I always experience in the sheds of the old time "junk yards" my dad and I frequently back in the '60s and '70s. Wow. I'm a bit stunned. I've never had a flashback like this before.

      Did they at least have a Holden with them? Was it like NHRA meets ANDRA?

    Just finished your book Bob! Excellent!
    Brought back many memories growing up and spending time watching. Usually at my grandparents’ house.
    Much warmth and comfort remembering those stories, and good times.

    Bob Owens, you and I are kindred spirits, born way too late, longing for an era which we never lived.

    Mr. Owens said it well, "This is the old way. The way it is supposed to be." Truer words were never spoken.

    Thank you so much for this story! My husband is a Vintage Racer and he loves places like this! We live in New York State but we have this place on our bucket list! My husband thought it was pure heaven!

    This collection of cars is from the days when cars had character and you could tell one from another . Most of today's cars are shaped like a jelly bean and have very little appeal. Just basic transportation with no class at all. Hats off to Mr. Owens .

    Bob I sent you an email about a gentleman that restored musical instruments and never got an answer. I would like to donate some to him.

    I'm old enough that I actually got to go and pull the parts off cars ourselves. I guess for safety and insurance reasons those days are over.

    It's a shame all those cars couldn't have been stored indoors to preserve them better
