. It was fun yet sad to make this video. A lot of history here. We saved as much as we could! I’m glad that I was able to document it, though. When I was a kid we crushed places like this all the time, and we didn’t even take pictures. I hope you understand and enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Think of all the history behind these vehicles. Vacations, weddings, taking the kids to school, going to football games, going to the doctor, going to work, untold miles of faithful service to their owners, etc. If the cars could talk, what stories they would tell.
We all got a crush on you ?.
This is the saddest car video I've ever watched....😢
Car restoration is a business and like any other there is an element of supply and demand. Not everybody has the space to store a bunch of old car parts that someone might use in the years to come. When the yard does this they are actually losing money. This is especially true when scrap metal prices are high. The overwhelming majority of people who talk about restoring cars never do. The reason for this is obvious; it is an extremely expensive hobby to get into.
Don’t be crushing those old farm tracktors

Dear Sir in the late 1990s I bought a 77 AMC Matador Coupe from a gentleman near McMinnville Oregon and he lived outside the city and his dad had 100 Studebakers sitting in the field I don't know if this is the place or if it's still there but just to let you know this is about 20 years ago
They had an auction about an hour from me and a guy had about 125-130 old cars he had for years. His family ordered it all sold at auction. The more desirable stuff went between $400-$1200. 48 cars went for $210 or less to the scrapper but most of those were really rough. I did look through the cars online before they sold and the best looking of the cars going for scrap was a 1948 Frazer Manhattan. I bought it for $220. I bid on 2 beetles as parts cars for a dune buggy build. I went and picked them up and the Frazer has very little rust and is complete. To much surprise one of the beetles has a nice interior and no rust. Got the beetles for $110 and $140. 3 other beetles went for scrap but they had no engines in them. I’m pretty excited about the Frazer but it’s going to need a lot of work.
Dang Silas that's alot work f or you if you only have thirty left I sure do wish I had That silver town car in your yard I really do I've had at 3 I would love to have it
whaha the music under the chrushing 🤣🤣 i got this bluese tune in my head for it with 3 or 4 guys shhhoeebbieedoe do singing the studebaker bluese 🤣🤣
I have a 55 Ford that I've had since 1965, was 18 when I bought it, now 76. Viet veteran.
OUCH!! As a Studebaker guy this was very hard to watch… there was still good amount of useable parts that got crushed unfortunately. Could’ve contacted the Studebaker’s drivers club might have been able to salvage a bit more. But definitely appreciate you salvaging everything you did! Someone else probably would’ve just crushed it all.
I see a lot of people in the comments are unhappy about other bits that could be saved such as frames, glass and doors being popular. However it would take him ages to start removing glass and frames, doors not so much but it's where to keep it all and then waiting for it to sell.
Sad to see, but anyone else would have just crushed everything. He took a lot of trouble to save as much as he could. Studebaker parts are really hard to find, so I'm glad he saved what he could.
These cars actually died the last day they were driven, in most cases many years ago. The time passed since then is just waiting time. Everything has an end. That's just how it is. The period music was appropriate and in a weird way, fun.
My heart always faints when you crush rutabagas :)
Lots to see here. These cars were mostly very far gone, but so glad to hear you could save as many as thirty. I hope I can see your operation in person someday.
Like how you set the trunk lids out to catch the glass for easier cleanup
That light blue cab looked in great shape. If I was younger or had better health I would be saving it. Heart attack two year ago stroke 4 days ago. Not going be taking any major projects on. Thanks for saving what you can
Love the way you did the rapid fire crushing, then normal video, then more rapid and so on, good matey, regards ken from Australia.
