  • I can't away from the stuff that I love , from the stuff that inspires me. I got it in my blood . Found this place on the road and it was closed found a camper bract number and introduced myself to Paul .
    He thought I was interested in buying parts but I said no I want to capture your time travel Junkyard. Paul was a great guy and gave me a good hour in the place . We spoke afterwards for another hour , it's what makes being on the road Worth it , meeting great fellow Americans and sharing their story .
    I got some good footage and hope you guys enjoy taking another time travel adventure with me .
    Follow me as I travel North America in my vintage camper van hunting down beautiful and historic places. Buckle up for the ultimate road trip adventure hosted by yours truly.

    Thank you for showing us Paul's yard. I have own many old car's we are only care takers of them and there is a day you have to pass them on to the next care taker.
    I have seen car's that I built year's later still being taken care of that makes me feel good the person that got it liked it as much as I did.

I found a place called Diamond with alot of cars, I didnt go inside the yard but was able to talk to the owner from the posted phone number (didnt have any nova wagons)... There were other places that looked like it was closed years ago (A1 salvage) but with a ton of cars just sitting. Across the street was another place with tons and tons of cars, seen a guy by the opened gate as soon as i asked him about the cars he quickly said none are for sale, so i kept moving along. Good luck just wanted to share my first time roswell experience.

    Your videos have spurred me to look into the history of the USA automobile industry and the development of road travel and the highway systems. Before today I'd actually never heard of the Lincoln Highway between New York and San Fransisco. I'd only ever heard of Route 66. It's all so interesting how it developed firstly from bicyclists banding together to improve conditions which led Carl Fisher to rally the automotive industry to privately fund roads initially with amazing amounts of money being pledged except for Henry Ford who felt that the roads should be fully Government-funded - about which he was eventually proved to be right. Carl said he wanted to get a proper road established before he was too old to enjoy it - good philosophy.
    I've got to check out the Australian history of motor vehicles and road transport more fully now too.

    I had a 1972 GMC Suburban I wanted to cut the quarter panel's off a 1963 Cadillac to custom fit the Suburban but my brother wouldn't let me have them he gave the car to an auto wrecker that crushed the car. He could have at least saw part of his car on my 1972 GMC Suburban I ended up giving it to my nephew that still owns it to this day I rebuilt everything on that truck when I owned it I had a lot of people that wanted to buy it. The stance and I had a plan before starting to build a custom I made photo copies and drew it out first color stance and the modification. Makes the job much easier to give an idea what you are going to spend.

      You love the old cars, too! I am old enough that I grew up with them. The Chevy small block in 1959 was the 283 version, so Pontiac had the bragging rights for that year with their 326.
      The 327 came out in 1962. I had a beauty of a gently used 1962 Impala hardtop with the 327 4bbl, factory air, all power (on a Chevy!! ). Good at touring. One of those kind we wish we hadn't sold. The 326 was a sweet engine, I drove my Dad's 1959 Catalina. Great channel!

    • @stevenhagebusch9561

      Incorrect.......yes 59 was 1st year of wide track.....although pontiac had ONLY 1 engine choice for 59.......was also the 1st yr of the 389.......326 came out in 63 tempest lemans only.......never came in a fullsize car....also all pontiacs from the 55 287 to the 71 455 all used the same block and head.......no small block or big block like chevy ford or mopar.......although 301 is only 301 due to low deck design.......

      Space age and atomic age are one and the same . The atomic era was Manhattan project era . These cars were built in that era . Thanks

      I thought the space age was 1960, that's what the camera was on when I heard the comment, it was on fin cars of 1960, yeah you are right if you meant the beginning of the fins were about1947 on Cadillac's, sorry about that.
