I'm a Ford guy myself but right now I'm wiping tears off my screen . So sad to see these beautiful pieces of history sitting in a dusty old building . I hope they all found a good home.
i followed this on tv and the auction afterwards and i got goosebumps when i saw all those seeing daylight for the first time, plastic still on the seats, and the build sheet still on the windows. time literally stood still with those beauties!
You understand back then cars had style, just one look and you knew what someone was driving because of it. Today, due to cookie cutter styling, there are sometimes I have to look real hard before realizing what they are......
CatfishHunter61 she was the niece and the niece for a great job very much she found a couple more important than what we were looking. Hey. Hey you guys have a lot to say to me you know I have to get to the point that you have the same name and you have the app to send me a email to your email and send info on my phone to send me to the app and send you email address email
+Vaughn Dehoff im not saying anything bad about these cars by any means but people need to adapt and change. some cars made today are much better vehicles than the cars of the past. yes I know a lot of cars today are made of fiberglass and plastic, but not all of them are shit. most of the people on here talking shit say they would prefer these cars over the cars today but in all reality, they would be bitching about these beautiful, American muscle dream machines. I personally love older vehicles myself, but I do understand that the cars today, some of the cars today, are honestly much nicer vehicles overall. I know driving around in a 56' with no ac, horrible emissions and 6 or 7 miles to the gallon in a state like Florida where 100 degree summers happen all to often is not what you'd want to have to deal with for 8 months out of the year. yes having a weekend warrior like one of these in the garage would be nice, but if you couldn't ride in this everyday all day without complaining, quit bitching about the cars today. id be willing to bet the majority of the people bashing today's cars, drive one everyday proudly.
The problem was he was a hoarder, And that's not uncommon for people who grew up during the depression and threw the war years, were you worked your ass and at the end of the day you literally had less then nothing. Very few of the cars were all that special or rare, they were just cars that did not sell, and most were kept outside to rot in the weather and get vandalized threw the years. Some day you will see a story about a guy who saved the very best, and kept them in decent storage, I would never consider this guy a "car guy", just a salesmen who monopolized a small region so he could afford to keep all those cars.
+Josh Martin can you imagine how much money those automobiles would have fetch in mint untouched condition!!? Very sad! This guy had a real gold mine that rotted away! Very very sad indeed😢
Anibal Babilonia Not sad at all. Collectors will pay an obscene amount for these cars and trucks - including the rusted-out ones. What looks like a pile of rusted metal is actually a pile of gold!
I have a salvage yard and bought two cars from that auction . A wrecked 54 Buick and a 58 Pontiac that was hit also. I've made good off of both of them . I have some more coming from guys who bought cars from there that can't repair or restore the cars and trucks because they shot up their cash buying them or can't afford the project. I'll get them running and driving again and sell them. I won't scrap them. Two 55s,one 58, a64&67 Chevrolets. I repeat I won't scrap them or crush them but get them running and sell them. None of the cars has very many miles on them
One 55 Bel Air 4Dr is setting here and it's a 265 V8 car and The other was a 150 2Dr post and it sold as soon as it come of the transporter. The 58 Del Ray is here and in the shop getting new brakes and a mastercylinder up grade. The 64 & 67 Impalas are due in a week from now. Also got some flood damaged vehicles and equipment like tractors and one dozer to clean out and up for their owners. I drain them and dry them out and get em going again. Thanks for replying.The 55 I'm asking $3,500 and the 58. $ 4,500.
I wouldn't have been interested any ways...55' 2dr no post is what I want. What kind of shape is the 64 impala in?? Do you have pics? Do you have a facebook or website?
Driving a car into a field and abandoning it to the weather is not "saving" it very well. I don't know what this guy's real motivation was but this is a fairly foolish thing to do. By not selling the trade-ins he lost their value.
Love this story. Especially smart, was how the guy would sell a new car, and keep the used car trade in, and not sell it.....creating more of a need for folks to buy new, not many used cars around since he had a bunch.
What would come back on the history of the VIN numbers on all those cars. Maybe some stolen maybe some even linked to crimes. Way too much work to check all of them.
The place looked as if it was a thriving watering hole for the locals at one point. It must have been one of those places where everybody knew one another and came there to socialize and have a few drinks. It's such a shame that it closed down and all that's left are the memories on the wall and a collapsing roof.
Ending up getting 1000% return on his money invested in the cars. Can't do that in business, in a bank or in the stock market today. NOPE. Family hit the lottery. YUP.
How can a small business afford to write off so much stock. It shows there are massive profits in the car business. Buyers should haggle harder after seeing this.
Those cars outside might have rust bust easy to cut out the cancerous rust and add another piece of metal a reweld it more than half of those cars will be back on the street
To think that their would have been hundreds of thousands of people who walked or rode bikes back then because they couldn't afford these now rust buckets. He could have changed so many lives back then.
America cars of the 50's and 60's needed a tune-up every few months, the exhaust systems were plain steel and rotted away in only a few years, the steel of the car had no corrosion protection, and when driven rotted away from road salt in under ten years. If your car was ten years old, it would be a miracle you still could drive it. I saw GM models that hat floor pans rotted through so you could see the lane markings on the pavement between your legs as you drove. The engine oil began forming thick black sludge the moment the engine was turned on. Oil was black because there was no synthetic oil, so even new cars only a month old had engine oil that looked like India Ink.
Obviously don't live here then. Because there are several cars from the 1909,20s,30s,40,50,60,70s80sand 90s still on the road and being driven. Up in the rust belt they do rust but anything rust in those states anyways. But I have a rust free 1953 Chrysler Saratoga,1955 Packard Clipper, 1959 Impala Sport Coupe ,1959 Be Air Wagon, 1977 Aspen and a 55 Cadillac Sedan Deville. all wearing Original Steel.
That old prick should be thrown in jail, he turned a field of dreams into a jungle nightmare. GOD said have no unforgivness in your heart, but I tell you it won't be easy forgiving that guy😳
I was just joking I just wanted to see what people would say I love old cars actually im working on fixing up a 65 chevy and I saved it from the crusher

Jelly Bean styling and build. At least the Chrysler\Dodge have vehicles that different Challenger and Charger.

+Elliott Neblett No one truly believes the old cars were better cars. They just like them more.

How sad!! Cars with 0 mile or just a few!! Rotted away 😢brand new cars!!
+Anibal Babilonia I know right
+Josh Martin can you imagine how much money those automobiles would have fetch in mint untouched condition!!? Very sad! This guy had a real gold mine that rotted away! Very very sad indeed😢
+Anibal Babilonia This isn't sad, they're fine. If they were resold chances are many would of been driven into the ground and crushed.
0 mile cars were stored indoors.
Anibal Babilonia Not sad at all. Collectors will pay an obscene amount for these cars and trucks - including the rusted-out ones. What looks like a pile of rusted metal is actually a pile of gold!

😭 it truly is a holy grail
Love how this video says 50's cars but thumbnail is a 1962/63 chevy impala and 1960/1963 chevy corvair

This is heaven to me, i’d definetly cry.
Some unused!!! OMG!!! I would LOVE a 1955 Bel Air, 1965 Malibu SS or a 1969 Camaro!!!
look at those 64 impalas
Love this story. Especially smart, was how the guy would sell a new car, and keep the used car trade in, and not sell it.....creating more of a need for folks to buy new, not many used cars around since he had a bunch.

they do not have feelings 😭😭😭
I saw one in the video that had 13 miles one it!
I literally yelled out. "Thirteen miles?!"
I'm crying now, that was 2014. Wished I had them, all
WOW dude! I just posted a video of 50yrs abandoned dealership with tons of classic Heavy Metal! So aweosme video!
I know those 64 and 63 impalas just blew my mind right now those didn't loose any value .
The place looked as if it was a thriving watering hole for the locals at one point. It must have been one of those places where everybody knew one another and came there to socialize and have a few drinks. It's such a shame that it closed down and all that's left are the memories on the wall and a collapsing roof.
I bet it wouldnt take much get the ones stored inside running.
Ending up getting 1000% return on his money invested in the cars. Can't do that in business, in a bank or in the stock market today. NOPE. Family hit the lottery. YUP.
PSH that is sad and painful to see.. I have a 66 ford I saved and restored, it's still a piece of crap but I'd never let it rot down to the ground..
Right on.
There is much scrap iron here to be melted down, and reformed into something that is new and shiny.
Nooooo! 😮
but they are classic man
Heaven!!
Great reporting!
This my friends is History , in the making ! .
LOVE IT ALL

Where is this place
bugz3718 worldwidevintageautos.com
that's so badass
Unfortunately, after decades of weathering, many of them were junk.
most frames were most likely rusted out.
That blue 57 pickup has 1 mile on it
There's a lot of parts for restoration
Omg. Be still my heart
Hear a lot about this dealership closing but never heard when it closed. Does anybody know when it closed? Just wondering.
Here you are:
