Mnnn I didn’t see anything “rotting away” he was a serious collector,not a hoarder. He’s the one who saved them.

I don’t mind the wind or the wind noise. Like you, it makes it real for me

Not in the Northeast. New England is the salt and rust capital of the US!😢

Super!! Thanks to both of you for stopping by the channel!

"russbonk," ah, once again -- 'hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.' Thanks for the interesting 'take' on the demise of similar properties / collections in the East. So, what was the big hurry to rid that part of the U.S. of car lots and collections, battered or not? Greed? Deterioration beyond reclaiming of the vehicles due to elements? Other?

@@scvandy3129 On the east coast most states/municipalities used salt on the roads in the winter and it doesn't take long for the corrosion to claim the bodies and frames, especially in the era prior to galvanized sheetmetal. Oddly, many pre 1960 vehicles are more likely to have survived due to both thicker sheet metal used and the more rugged body on frame construction.

Some of his production dates are incorrect though.e.g. Ramcharger and Blazer

I watched to see my favorite ,cars 1932 to 1935 inclusive; I don't believe I saw one. Are these cars so old that most young people don't like them?

I guess you're talking about the cars and not the trucks? I think that was a year they used in Grease lightning for their hot rod. I didn't care for the movie but I did enjoy watching the cars when I was younger.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 Isn't all the rechromeing needed for these vechicles make them affordable only for the rich. For example ; the first car shown needs rechromeing of all it's chrome. Wouldn't this cost thousands? And not to mention that the car needs complete restoration which would include a couple of thousand for upholstery?

@@supermansuperman9066 well pre-war car you're not going back with their original type of materials anyway. It cost depends on your upholstery guy. Yes materials have gone up in cost. As far as the Chrome well if you buy something with stainless then that does not need to be Chrome. Same thing for aluminum trim cars. Restoring cars is not a poor man hobby. But making something you like and that's neat out of an old vehicle sitting around waiting to be crushed is self-fulfilling. And with the look of patina, a word I hate. Patina gives everybody a chance to just drive it as a fixed it up. Don't fix the Chrome just go looking for some good decent Chrome. By the way I can use a couple of bumpers for a 50 Oldsmobile. By the time you rework the bumpers to get him in the condition to Chrome them and then have them chromed even if it's in Mexico it's expensive! There's a couple of good Chrome places in the midwest that's reasonable compared to the prices being charged today. I've talked to a couple guys who own these places. Of course it's the same as anything else. Our cost has gone up dramatically so our prices were trying to keep him down but we can only do so much. So answer your question yes you can spend thousands of dollars on upholstery, Chrome work, and bright work. Not to mention paint which is ridiculous! You can get your basic colors from fella outside Springfield Missouri. You can find on Craigslist I'm assuming he's important to crap from China but it holds up. Single sage acrylic enamel it's just fine. It worked for my dad and it worked for me going back to the 1980s. You don't want to be these implement paint jobs necessarily because it's just enamel. You need to acrylic enamel. There's nothing to beat a fine true lacquer paint job. I don't care how good you are clear coat base coat paints. Yeah they can look good but you set one next to a true lacquer that's been sanded buffed polish and about 21 layers. I don't know anybody does it anymore I've had the privilege to know two people true craftsmanship through my lifetime. I hope to know more and I hope to have plenty of lifetime ahead of me haha. People are beginning to get back to you the origins of the hobby. That was to fix it up make it look decent as you could over time. Trouble is now people are paying premium prices for this word called patina. So it prices people out of the market. But if you took one of these old cars and you set an engine in it update the brakes. We now have one thing that is marvelous that nobody had and 10 years ago even. It's called KZfaq and people are throwing out the secrets left and right all you have to do is watch videos and look it up and you can save money doing it yourself. Now I'm not preaching I'm not argumentative. I agree with you you can spend thousands of dollars are maybe just go with something a little less than perfect and buy used parts over time. Take it to car shows but out a sign saying looking for parts. True car hobbyist are quite helpful. It's at one time you want that old guy come around and pass to you and say well I know where some of the stuff is at. I just had a little outpatient surgery and this lady broke my heart as a car guy. She had just sold her 1965 Chevy long bed with a 327 in it for $1,500. It was to help her family. Now here I am with her and the other members of the staff and they are helping me. I start telling her about vehicles for about 4 grand thinking she is sold it a long time ago. it's been pretty recent she gave the truck away that kind of money. Patrick broke my heart. Here they are helping me a great deal and I couldn't help her at least get fair market out of her truck cuz she already sold it. It belonged to her father too and he got it from a good friend after that friend is accidentally killed unexpectedly. So the truck had history for her and she said she drives pastor every day and sees it. A little bit of a side story. Because a running truck somebody to put a 327 in got to be worth $3,500 anyway in today's market. It was a case where she had to sell it evident by the cup of tears that came out of her eyes and she told me the story. So everyone these old cars has some kind of stories and that history being revived with the car is important

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 Wow. Great story.

@@Itsaboutthewaterlife thank you. Never realized it or thought about it but I guess I do have a lot of car stories.

😊Sj😅

I thought, amazingly rust free then Tim had the same reaction. Even in our dry climate on the Front Range they’re all gone from the tin worms

Hey ,you got to pay for that “Free Healthcare” . Somehow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent additions... I knew I was putting myself on the spot standing there trying to remember all of them. Thanks so much for chiming in Jeff!

It's all good.. I have a few more..but I already forgot alot them. Thanks for that great overview. It's kinda nice to see cars that are restorable instead of ones that have trees growing thru the trunks !

An asbestos compliance nightmare.

Excellent!
