I think someone's said the same thing in every one of these crushing vids.

If people are of a sentimental persuasion then I would suggest you don't watch this channel.

Or rust in the wind.

The color on that 1972 Ford LTD was paint code 6F and was known as "Gold Glamour Metallic". It was beautiful and somewhat common on that vehicle back in the early '70s.

It’s going to be recycled.

@@richard200923322 Yeah, into shit cars

@@kurtlink2145 Um... no? do you even know what cars are made of? its not that hard to google it. they rust just like any other car unless there is aluminum.

@@capcom7794 You are wrong. Have you ever seen the front of a hood on a Ford? The hoods are made of aluminum and corrode the same and steel. It will bubble and all the paint comes off.

@@jaysmith179 Can you even read? I literally just mentioned aluminum.

Holiday 88 just keep it between the ditches

460 4-speed ... Honey Hush !

That was a 4 door.

I would love to have one myself, unfortunately in the Great Lakes region these Fords were notorious for rusting. That car likely was off the road and rusted that much well before 1980.

But his was a 4 door 83 galaxie, turd brown, with a big block and a 4 speed.

I just saw one for sale in Valdosta Georgia, its a convertible $8900

Yes, and beautiful cars at that. Problem was the way the rusted. Up here in the rust belt those cars were badly rusted after 5 years of road salt and had a lot of rust holes. I would be surprised if that LTD was on the road in 1980.

You have a very valid point on that.

Scotty Kilmer 🤦🏿🤦🏿

Yup, you can't Dodge with a Plymouth! 😀

This one is a ST

what so nice about it just strip out cv just empty went was new yeah now just junk the gold LTD was better car

@@robertvalentin5846 He said the color was nice. Did you even read his comment?

yeah ill agree the color is nice

Appears to be in Wisconsin somewhere as that's what most of the plates say.

I'm guessing around west central Wisconsin

If the doors were that bad, the fenders are going to be awfully thin where you can't see yet.

ikr im a fan of cars from the 70s my uncle (rip) used to own numerous mid '70s lincoln continentals in the small town i live in (6000 population) only ME and a lady whos around 55 own a car from the 70s ( i hav a 1977 chrysler cordoba that my nana was the original owner of and gave i TO ME and theres an elderly lady thats around 55 i seen her OLD large monte carlo from the mid 70s at a church nearby

@@katieb777 nice 👌. My very first vehicle i owned was a 1977 gmc Sierra that I bought from my cousin

Even worst some cars are crushed that work perfectly fine or have minor issues. My grandpa had a car like that sold it for scrap for like $350, now they are going for $3-$4k

Didn't you see the rust on that thing? It was done, probably had been in that yard for a decade or more too.

I was born in 1981 and I ain't old. Age is just a number you're only as old as you feel.

Lol I still drive around an 1989 LTD Crown Victoria as a secondary vehicle. The reliability and comfort makes up for how much I spend on fuel.

I was fortunate to be born in 1965, so I clearly remember the cars on the road from 1970 onwards. Spending my entire life in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was able to see all of these now vintage Detroit iron and imports in beautiful rust-free condition. I have always been interested in cars, trucks, and motorcycles from the day I could walk. During my high school years of the early '80s, my brother and I would go out to car lots around the Bay Area and test drive many of these older used car vehicles for fun. I have driven a ton of cars and trucks! I have also owned many different vehicles, starting in my teen years. Among my early vehicles were a '67 VW Bug, a '72 Dodge Charger (loaded & including the rare "Topper" edition), a '72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, a '57 Chevy Stepside Pickup, etc etc ... I always wished that I had been born in the mid-'40s to see and drive all of the vehicles and witness life in general during the '50s & '60s! Oh well, I guess that I was born too late!

The LTD was pretty rusted

The gray car was a circa 1987 and up Pontiac Bonneville front wheel drive.

@@googleusergp Yes, now I can see it

Me too Josh...😳 lol bro...

they always had notch backs. That was the first front drive one

It's a ST coupe.

Yes Wisconsin. The Rusty State!

Does wisconsin have a lot of salt in the area? I can assume the salt-covered streets.

EZ Crusher, they still sell them new today.

I recall seeing a documentary on TV years ago about car recycling. I remember that those flattened cars are put through an industrial shredder, and a magnet separates out the metal from everything else. The metal goes somewhere to be melted down and is used in the manufacturing of new cars. Everything else, like fabric and plastic, winds up in a landfill.

@@hamsterama that makes sense , thank you :)

road salt and time in this case, looks like they sit under trees for years, leaves and water trapped inside rust rot 'em out..time to go

Probably 1998-2013 model

I bet a lot of them were sitting in somebody's field and the scrappers are hauling them in. I've never seen a yard let their stuff sit around that long.

I would say it was probably parted out to customers that own taxi companies, to fix taxicabs in their fleet, or perhaps a small town police department, because Crown Victoria’s were popular vehicles in that kind of use, and probably the parts buyers probably had a few in their fleet. Who knows how it ended up in the junkyard to begin with, because it can be any of a number of things: flood, crash, engine died, transmission died, etc., but it’s good that they were able to get a lot of parts off of it.

Police departments would crash all the time and larger ones have their own in house operations where they take parts from crashed cars onto survivors. If I had to guess this car came from the Wisconsin state patrol yard and was stripped over there and the hulk was just sent to this yard for scrap value.

I would have taken the molding and just sold it for stainless scrap or aluminum. Whatever it is.

there is a 72 4 door here in the Los Angeles area in a pic a part in ontario, ca

I hate to see them lincolns being crushed

You probably had around a decade or so to do that as that car looks like it had been in that yard for awhile.

Brougham was a cushy option package from what i remember

@@dakotaman4085 cause I remember what I saw it was Cadillac I didn't know Ford made it as well

Mercury and Oldsmobile had a brougham package too....

It's probably the American way of saying a range topper

Brougham was originally a car body style in which the driver sat outside and in front of the passengers who were seated behind in an enclosed cabin. Cadillac was the first company to use the name "Brougham" for the 1916 Cadillac Brougham, even though this was a large 7-passenger sedan that did not use the traditional brougham body style. Since then, many manufacturers have used the term as a model name for a number of their sedans, coupes, and convertibles. From the 1970's to the 1990's, General Motors/Ford Motor Company/Chrysler Corporation/and American Motors Corporation have all used the term "Brougham" to denote an upper level trim level on a number of their vehicle offerings.
