It's so surreal seeing those once majestic cars rusting away in the middle of nowhere, abandoned and forgotten. Each of them had their own story, their first happy owner who died a long time ago at this point and their children probably have grandkids by now. It's like a sad reminder that we don't live forever and each story inevitably comes to an end. And on top of that, those classic American cars are just so beautiful even in death, it's a whole different world from what we have today. Too bad here in Russia it's very unlikely to find something like this. Any abandoned car will eventually be scavenged for parts and scrap metal, unless it's sitting in some old garage or somewhere you can't easily get it out from. You're lucky you can have this kind of journey to the past. Best of luck with your future finds!
You finally found something worth going after. That light green 1953 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery!!!!!! THAT is the find of a lifetime! And that late '30s Packard limousine isn't a bad find, either. If you have a place and the means to recover them, I'd go after both, if they're still there after all this exposure.
2nd one - '52 Dodge base model, possibly a Meadowbrook. 3rd one, '35-'36 Ford 1 ton flatbed. 5th - '53 Chevy sedan delivery (sort of popular) And yes, it's factory. Final one - '37 Ford pickup. I actually built one of those as a street rod for a friend of mine. The headlights are aftermarket sealed beam units.
The second one is a 1950 DeSoto, when he shows the tip of the front fender you can see the marks from the chrome. Right in front of that 35-36 Ford in a Mack AC hood. After that is a 36 Dodge.
I always like those chev Sedan Deliveries but in the country I was living in there were two (2) ha ha. i.pinimg.com/originals/ae/83/df/ae83dfdbd2a36da5b3dc29301a7b7336.jpg
Awesome old American iron! The '55-'56 Chevrolet dually was so cool! Not a 4wd, those had a solid I beam front axle, on leaf springs. That '52 Chevrolet panel was factory built (someone added the windows. Awesome finds!
The '53 Chev is called a "Sedan Delivery". Chevrolet made a standard panel truck based on the 1500 commercial body, but they also made a station wagon with the quarter glass walled up. That is what you found. It's not only rare but extremely desirable, even in the deplorable condition it's in. All you would need is a running '53 or '54 Chevrolet sedan for parts and you could have this ultra-rare car back on the road in six months! Gawd, WHAT A FIND!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like that panel wagon is like a 53 or 54 Chevy. And, yes, it was originally all metal on the sides in the rear, those "windows" were cut out at a later date. It said something about "tours" on the side, pretty sure it was modified at some point to be made into some kind of tour wagon. That's my guess, at least. Way cool find!
They are from the Old Ring of Fire when the Ocean was evaporating and they are called Hot Vents. I ask the same question when I was hauling Rail Road Ties off the Old Atchison Topeka, Santa Fe Rail Road in the early 1970's and again in the early 2000's. We worked with a team of Native Indian's on removing the Old Rail Road Bed.. If you go to Tuba City, Arizona and travel out into the desert towards the west you will fine many old Aztec ruins as well as several old wagons as well as old cars from the 1930's and maybe before. They was the path of the Old first Road across Arizona in the past. I have traveled that old road and even camped on a survival week in the desert with a Navajo friend who later became my blood brother.Many of these old cars were taken out already stripped out by the Indian's because they stole them for parts in the 50's - the 1980's. You learn these things when you are with Indian Guides. How old is the Older man with you? I am 84 years young and getting ready to drive my 1951 Studebaker Pickup Truck from Redding, Ca. to St. Joseph, Missouri/ I will be pulling a Trailer loaded with several Wood working shop tools as well as my 1901 Oldsmobile I made the same trip in back in 2014. You can see the cars on my Facebook sites as well as most all Search Engines, under Ray or Raymond Pittam. I am an active Advocate for several Programs but mostly our Fallen and wounded warriors and MIA as well as Homeward Bound. I am a Fund Raiser. I am also Santa Claus for over sixty years.
Theme song for this episode. The heat is on. Maybe just lyrics from an old Eddie Murphy movie. Scout road close to the beginning and the realization that you're 15 miles off the road. And that doesn't mean only 15 miles from civilization. Four-wheel-drive you'll be okay. I'm glad those weren't famous last words. For those of us who are not desert dwellers or explorers that is mighty hot hot!!! Remind me at 3:00 coming back through Baker's California and heading essentially East. Then heat is chasing you down and making every attempt to digest you! The cars are GREAT. But they're being covered pretty well by other commenters. Then there's the rattlesnakes and scorpions to go with the heat. Everything you need to go into a great trip.
Man, it's hot here in SoCal! Gonna be 108-110 in Hemet where I work in a stupid metal building with no A/C. Good thing my wife and I are off to Maui for a week starting on Thursday morning. LOL. Hope y'all back home don't melt. And for God's sake don't let there be any wildfires. Feel free to have cooler weather when we get back in a week! And....it's GREAT to see Joel back in action. Love that dude. Stay safe and cool, guys, and take care.
Throughout movie history Eastern California, Inyo County, Alabama Hills and Death Valley have been used for movie, commercials and TV filming. And for good reason...!
1930's cars do not have VIN numbers, the "serial number" is on the engine block for these. In the 50's they started with tags in side the door, on the body side of the door. In 1967 that was the start of VIN tags on the dash that we know today.
At 36:36 is a 1953 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery. GEE my green 53 Chevy Sedan Delivery is my account picture. The rear door is so rare that of course it is gone. That rear bumper is something I NEED!
last truck looks like it was from the plaque photo at the Mill site, Twolite is the ALL NEW dipped and mainbeam headlight design to enter car vehicle manufacture around that time... love the Vids all the way from UK ..
the upside down car looks like a mid 50's plymouth, maybe a Cranbrook. The blue chevy wagon is not a conversion. They were called "handyman wagons". The one in your video is a 52 or 53 model
I wish someone would take me to have an excursion in the California Desert. I love warm dry weather. The dryness in Los Angeles is good too. It's the reason poison ivy and other terrible plants cannot grow there. Walking around L.A. for nearly two months in 1998 I lost almost 50 pounds as a 31 year old. The warm weather and the DRYNESS and lack of humidity does it. I just wish at 57 fears old it can happen for me today. I hope I can afford to get there!
I'm about a day's drive away and would love to meet someone fascinated with finding old artifacts in the California deserts. I restore vintage cars and would love to tackle that '53 Chev. SD and the Packard limo! I could also take you where there are a few dozen old cars no one knows about that are available for the work it takes to haul them off. There are also some fascinating hidden spots along the original Route 66 that haven't been found yet. I recently recovered a 1964 Mercury Montclair convertible that was 100% hidden from view and a 1956 Lincoln Premiere that was sitting on an Indian reservation since 1966.
@@reverserockettv007 That all depends on what you know. I specialize in recovering vehicles from jurisdictions which often prohibit their leaving. Several years ago I followed a lead for a 1964 Fairlane station wagon, which turned out to be a far more desirable 1960 Ford Ranch Wagon. It had been abandoned on a riparian bird preserve since 1976. Because various critters were using it for their homes, the preserve didn't want it moved. Thanks to my efforts, the car now lives in The Netherlands where it has been properly restored. And another rare car is saved for posterity. I have evaluated the 1937 Packard limo and the 1953 Chevrolet sedan delivery. My conclusion is the Packard is not worth extracting, but the Chevrolet is. Like Melvin Dummar said, "Where there's a will there's a way." True words!
The sad 😞 (and haunting) truth, is that in 97 % of these crashes (that’s my guess), the occupant(s) usually die. Yes, there’s a few people who have lived to tell the story afterwards, but it isn’t many. I even came 🆙 by knowing one ☝️ such person myself. He drove off a cliff going to Mexico 🇲🇽. The van 🚐 blew 🆙 (after he was ejected), with such intensity that the fire 🔥 actually went out. I have also heard this by a friend many years ago. It’s said that the Sahara Desert 🏜️ reaches 145 degrees. I have nothing supporting this claim, but if this is the desert 🏜️ you two come to explore, bring PLENTY of water 💦, and BE VERY CAREFUL!! If it’s the Sahara Desert 🏜️ you come to explore, I’d do it at night, or do it in the winter ❄️ 🥶. Your friend, Jeff.
That’s definitely a 3/4 ton 1955 Chevy dually steakbed truck, the other one could be Dodge or also Chevy or Studebaker too! Who knows!! The next ones could be a 1930s flat bed truck! That wagon is definitely a 1953 Chevy wagon or Hearst. That engine in the Chevy wagon is a 235ci 6. That looks like a 1937 Ford pickup! Great finds guy’s!

26:34 For God sake stay hydrated y’all! Keep an eye on the temp on your weather app. Those outside temp readers in your car are only accurate after it acclimated while the vehicle is moving.
looks like hwy 190 below Crowley lookout/ Rainbow 'star wars'- Canyon headed down towards Panamint valley, 15 years ago with a wrecker & very long cable we pulled about 50- pre- 1960 cars & trucks out of that canyon and about a dozen later model units from 1960's-1990's, i remember guard rails were finally installed along the steep twisties & curves along hwy 190 about 1999. i live about 20 miles west of rainbow canyon on 190, great motorcycle road but very dangerous for unaware cell phone gawking drivers,
#4 is too hard to tell, at best guess i think its a 1930's Pontiac. My expertise is not GM of this era. All of the manufacturers in the 1930's used a wooden frame and canvas for a top filler, very common and not retractable like a sunroof. Also it is very common to find wood as part of the assembly material for the bodies in these 1930's cars.
When I saw the dually, I thought someone should save it and turn it into a rat offroader, until I saw the passanger side but still has a good stash of parts in it, to spare including the engine great discovery. To recover the engine you would need to bring at least 3-4 guys, and a crawler wrecker to load the engine into it and send the whole engine, to a machinery shop to remove the rust from the block and head with chemical procedures and lubricate it, it would look like brand new and maybe add some performance parts and install it into dirt racing car. Someone should save the cab out of that old flatbed and make a rat offroader and also make a rat rod out of that 30s sedan and the panel wagon aswell. If I had that wagon in a rat rod buggy conversion I'd be blasting Alice in chains while crossing the desert.
@@reverserockettv007 Exactly and I don't think an hydraulic hammer can make that driver side look perfect again, but in the case of that panel wagon It would be done well, and either rebuild that inline 6 or install a 454 BBC or even a 7.4 8.1 Vortec with offroad suspension with diff locks and axles big tires and a 6 speed with the interior fully caged and bucket seats straight from Mad Max.
I had the issue just going down long hallways at doctors offices and in the airport one time. I try to carry the canned oxygen. Love watching ya'll. Stay safe.
@@reverserockettv007 you mentioned panamint springs so i looked up us gov geology pdf. Very interesting and talks about those old mines. Love that old ADIT you found. Given all the labour used to do that by hand with a pickaxe im thinking more likely following a vein of gold. Here's that pdf link to panament springs geology pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1299/report.pdf
That’s known as a split window 🪟 vehicle 🚗. A lot of these types of vehicles 🚗 are favored by classic car 🚗 enthusiasts, but they don’t appear to be too common. It’s usually about cars 🚗, but I don’t know 🤷♀️ about it with trucks 🛻. I’d probably get a friend to yank this truck 🛻 🆙 the cliff. I realize it could cost 💲 quite a bit to restore it, but some classic cars 🚗 could run 🏃♀️ almost 😅 a million dollars 💵 at auction. This truck 🛻 is probably a 1940’s model, but I couldn’t tell ya the name. If it’s a Model A, or Model T, it could be worth a lot once restored. Happy 😊 Thanksgiving 🦃, from your friend, Jeff.
The Car is about a 37-39 Chevrolet or G. M. Car. Those are Indian dumped cars. The old Truck looks like possibly a Ford or Dodge. The delivery Van wi a 1953 Chevrolet Delivery van modified to be a Camping car..The place you are at the Gravel Chute was the Old Concrete Plant and Mill. I think it was active in the 1940's and was used for several purposes. I may be wrong, But I traveled yje old Route 66 and 466 back in those times.for building the Highway in the 1950's. I know you people may think I am being a Know it all, I am sorry, I am not like most people, I am a man who has traveled and experienced many experiences.
You guys should wait for cooler weather for those cars and trucks in Death Valley, they will still be there. They don't call that place Death Valley for nothing.
@reverserockettv007 So my bad, I'm not such an expert on Chevy and even less on Ford. I know Chrysler products very well. It was quite possible in '54 to have a Stovebolt 6 235 cubic inch, they were used from 1929-1962.
The truck at the 31 minute mark is a 1935/36 Ford Truck. The car looks to be the same year Chrysler, Dodge Plymouth Sedan. I would be unbolting that cab and taking it home, they are hot property for Rodders, bullets and all.
2nd car upside down is a '49 to '52 Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge or DeSoto. There really isn't enough trim left to tell. If the grille was still there it would be pretty easy.
I am watching this between 01:00 A. M. and 03:15 A. M. because my Search and Protection Dog woke me up because my wife with Alzheimer's was having terrible Nightmares and I have to be up around the clock wit her. In California we Old people can't afford the High wages for in home care at starting at $125,00 per Hour. And the one's working are mostly off the street or mexican or Filipino Immigrants. getting Minimum wages.
I like to stay at PSR ,I lt snows where l live so l go in the winter. He's right bel air style,its a sedan delivery,with windows cut in ,it did have a 235.they were looking for anything valuable, but generally gold
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall (or nearby rock) to see the intrepid people yank a trans out of a wrecked truck in death valley on the side of a rocky slope.
@@dougtodd305 is correct (Sedan delivery model) the front end is same a 1953 Chevrolet car. A panel truck would have the front end of the truck models and higher roofline. Similar but also very different.

@@reverserockettv007 absolutely I'm glad to have seen it thank you for all the hard work you do
That last truck looks like a 1930's Studebaker but thats a real shot in the dark
That last truck was so cool!
26:34
For God sake stay hydrated y’all!
Keep an eye on the temp on your weather app. Those outside temp readers in your car are only accurate after it acclimated while the vehicle is moving.
Thanks for the tips!
Really enjoying the content of your videos. Just subbed!
Welcome aboard!
If I only lived on the “left” coast,that old flatbed truck would be in my driveway
🤭🤭🤭
Cool Old Trucks.
Thanks!
looks like hwy 190 below Crowley lookout/ Rainbow 'star wars'- Canyon headed down towards Panamint valley, 15 years ago with a wrecker & very long cable we pulled about 50- pre- 1960 cars & trucks out of that canyon and about a dozen later model units from 1960's-1990's, i remember guard rails were finally installed along the steep twisties & curves along hwy 190 about 1999. i live about 20 miles west of rainbow canyon on 190, great motorcycle road but very dangerous for unaware cell phone gawking drivers,
Wow! Excellent info!! Thanks!!
1953 Chevrolet panel (similar to wagon. We had a 1953 Pontiac with the same body)
The white thing 53-54 Chevy panal wagon,and the thing wedged in the rocks by the other pickup is a winch drum axle appeared to still be in it
death valley was suppose to set records Sunday 131......You guys are CRAZY.....
I didn’t want to sit on that couch all day! The cliffs were calling me!
I'd try and drag that panel outta there if I lived in that area. Gotta be pretty rare
#4 is too hard to tell, at best guess i think its a 1930's Pontiac. My expertise is not GM of this era. All of the manufacturers in the 1930's used a wooden frame and canvas for a top filler, very common and not retractable like a sunroof. Also it is very common to find wood as part of the assembly material for the bodies in these 1930's cars.
So upon further investigation I believe #4 is a 1938 Oldsmobile or thereabouts. Joel needs some decent boots.
Interesting! Thanks for chiming in!!
When I saw the dually, I thought someone should save it and turn it into a rat offroader, until I saw the passanger side but still has a good stash of parts in it, to spare including the engine great discovery.
To recover the engine you would need to bring at least 3-4 guys, and a crawler wrecker to load the engine into it and send the whole engine, to a machinery shop to remove the rust from the block and head with chemical procedures and lubricate it, it would look like brand new and maybe add some performance parts and install it into dirt racing car.
Someone should save the cab out of that old flatbed and make a rat offroader and also make a rat rod out of that 30s sedan and the panel wagon aswell.
If I had that wagon in a rat rod buggy conversion I'd be blasting Alice in chains while crossing the desert.
🤭🤭🤭🤭I like your thinking! I also love that dually but like you said that passenger side is awful!
@@reverserockettv007 Exactly and I don't think an hydraulic hammer can make that driver side look perfect again, but in the case of that panel wagon It would be done well, and either rebuild that inline 6 or install a 454 BBC or even a 7.4 8.1 Vortec with offroad suspension with diff locks and axles big tires and a 6 speed with the interior fully caged and bucket seats straight from Mad Max.
I used to love cave crawling. I have gotten clostrophobia as o got older and some tough experiences.
It bothers me at times as well. I can’t fly in small airplanes! It really freaks me out when the seating is extremely tight…
I had the issue just going down long hallways at doctors offices and in the airport one time. I try to carry the canned oxygen. Love watching ya'll. Stay safe.
Back to watching the videos, man,
Thanks!
@@reverserockettv007 Thanks, man!
Lots of complex geology there, olivine basalt, altered metamorphic and non altered limestones as well as extensive dolomite and andesite++
How do you know these big words?
@@reverserockettv007 you mentioned panamint springs so i looked up us gov geology pdf. Very interesting and talks about those old mines. Love that old ADIT you found. Given all the labour used to do that by hand with a pickaxe im thinking more likely following a vein of gold. Here's that pdf link to panament springs geology pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1299/report.pdf
That’s known as a split window 🪟 vehicle 🚗. A lot of these types of vehicles 🚗 are favored by classic car 🚗 enthusiasts, but they don’t appear to be too common. It’s usually about cars 🚗, but I don’t know 🤷♀️ about it with trucks 🛻. I’d probably get a friend to yank this truck 🛻 🆙 the cliff. I realize it could cost 💲 quite a bit to restore it, but some classic cars 🚗 could run 🏃♀️ almost 😅 a million dollars 💵 at auction. This truck 🛻 is probably a 1940’s model, but I couldn’t tell ya the name. If it’s a Model A, or Model T, it could be worth a lot once restored. Happy 😊 Thanksgiving 🦃, from your friend, Jeff.
Thanks for commenting!
It is a rare chevy sedan delivery that deserves a better fate….
The Car is about a 37-39 Chevrolet or G. M. Car. Those are Indian dumped cars. The old Truck looks like possibly a Ford or Dodge. The delivery Van wi a 1953 Chevrolet Delivery van modified to be a Camping car..The place you are at the Gravel Chute was the Old Concrete Plant and Mill. I think it was active in the 1940's and was used for several purposes. I may be wrong, But I traveled yje old Route 66 and 466 back in those times.for building the Highway in the 1950's. I know you people may think I am being a Know it all, I am sorry, I am not like most people, I am a man who has traveled and experienced many experiences.
I lread all your comments. I am not disagreeing with you.
Those old trucks did not have fenders in the back. It’s a flatbed truck.
I wonder what that was laying there?
That is a real panel the back of it looks like it might have been a ambulance
Ok I was really thinking something looked aftermarket on the interior frame.
TwoLite would have been high and low beam headlights, which I think would have been a late 20's or early 30's Ford maybe?
Interesting! Thanks!
Any time, 82 years old and spent many years in auto business.
Wow! Thanks for helping out!
You guys should wait for cooler weather for those cars and trucks in Death Valley, they will still be there. They don't call that place Death Valley for nothing.
We wanted a real adventure!
1935/1936 Ford flatbed.
not a conversion, it's a '51 Chevy Sedan Delivery. My dad had a red one back in the '80s..
Aw! Thanks!
@@reverserockettv007 though it's a trip seeing those vehicles from the '30s - '50s, you all are certified nuts being out there in that heat. 💣
NEWS SAYS STAY HOME.....These guys jump in a truck and head to the HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH......DEATH VALLEY!!!!
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Flipped car after the dually truck is a 53,54 Chevy
Thanks!
Number 5 is a '54 Chevy but I think they were still flatheads not the stovebolt 6 until '55. Its a real panel wagon but someone cut the sides.
Thanks for the info!!!
@reverserockettv007 So my bad, I'm not such an expert on Chevy and even less on Ford. I know Chrysler products very well. It was quite possible in '54 to have a Stovebolt 6 235 cubic inch, they were used from 1929-1962.
@@BSWThunder6 cool! Thanks for the update on that!
The truck at the 31 minute mark is a 1935/36 Ford Truck. The car looks to be the same year Chrysler, Dodge Plymouth Sedan. I would be unbolting that cab and taking it home, they are hot property for Rodders, bullets and all.
It’s was a very cool cab!
2nd car upside down is a '49 to '52 Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge or DeSoto. There really isn't enough trim left to tell. If the grille was still there it would be pretty easy.
Thanks! I appreciate the help!
1951/1952 Chevrolet would be my guess.
You could fit two bodies in that trunk
I am watching this between 01:00 A. M. and 03:15 A. M. because my Search and Protection Dog woke me up because my wife with Alzheimer's was having terrible Nightmares and I have to be up around the clock wit her. In California we Old people can't afford the High wages for in home care at starting at $125,00 per Hour. And the one's working are mostly off the street or mexican or Filipino Immigrants. getting Minimum wages.
I understand.
I like to stay at PSR ,I lt snows where l live so l go in the winter. He's right bel air style,its a sedan delivery,with windows cut in ,it did have a 235.they were looking for anything valuable, but generally gold
It snows there?
I live by Hayfork, ca
1953-54 Chevy Sedan Delivery
Thanks!
I would have taken the door.
37:00 Could this be a hearse vehicle from the early 50s?
I don’t believe so.
Thinking the big sedan is a mid 1930s Cadillac
Thanks! I am so confused on that one as well.
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall (or nearby rock) to see the intrepid people yank a trans out of a wrecked truck in death valley on the side of a rocky slope.
🤭🤭🤭
I visited the same places and found the same cars last year, nice video
Any video footage?
unfortunately no, I just took a few photos that I posted on my Instagram profile
Your friend is correct. Chevy panel wagon. The year before they came out with a V8 engine.
Thanks for the info!
It's called a sedan delivery, it's a 53.
A sedan delivery has 1 back door and a panel has 2 rear doors.
A sedan delivery is a sedan, a panel truck is a truck!
@@dougtodd305 is correct (Sedan delivery model) the front end is same a 1953 Chevrolet car. A panel truck would have the front end of the truck models and higher roofline. Similar but also very different.
A 50s Coronet the second one?
I am not sure? It’s possible! Let’s see what the comments say over the next couple days.
Check your Tire pressure on your vehicle, You will be greatly surprised.
Yes
That old truck by the car with the stripes on it is a Ford I don’t know what year probably a 1941
Thanks for the info!
Roswell, NM
On the mailbox! Yes!
1937 Ford pickup
Thanks for the information!
although you have a 4 wheel drive i think i would get a badland electric winch from harbor freight
I might put one on the old tundra soon!
sedan delivery.....
Thanks Mike!
hey i got a great idea do this in the winter an fall an spring not in the hottest part of the summer !!!
It’s all
Fun! We love the California weather.
That is a Chevy panel wagon
Thanks!
A Chevy truck that size would have had a 261, you can confirm by the valve cover on this one. (heard the guy saying 235)
I knew he might of been wrong!
People back then didn’t wear seatbelts they live dangerously
They sure did!
32:23 Mack Bulldog hood.
Nice! Thanks! I was wondering about that..
I agree the hood only
He is funny lol
Yea he is something else!
You guys must be baking alive out thier 😮
Yea!!! It was crazy!!
it raining in scotland
Thanks for watching so far away!
Maybe wait till it's going to be about 50 degrees less than 130 *F.
I couldn’t wait! I love filming and editing…
@@synupps877 👍
It's not 4wd...all trucks back then had a straight axel
I was confused…
It probably is lava death valley is hell on earth
Yea it is!
Careful out there you dont want to end up like the german tourists did out in the death valley in july😮
Yea! Very hot!!!
Why not take some tools and grab some parts?
I feel like I am stealing….
Stealing those cars been there for yrs!! Help yourself.
It is stealing,it's all protected in a National Park
Are we going to see six more rare and restorable vehicles or just watch two juvvies stumble around in the mud for the next hour?
It looks like we got another bored guy at home critiquing UA-cam videos…
Sedan delivery 3 door….you guys really don’t know your cars do you…..
Nope…
