I am still heading for Iowa to attend the Iowa Gas swapmeet event and ends up scrounging scrapyards in Midwest states!!! Unbelievable!!!
This is so much fun!!! Every night I check into a hotel I look like a bum covered in dirt and grease! Haha It is all part of the adventure! I will be bringing home many Souvenirs from this trip!
Enjoy,
Rob

Yes , I have had most guys treat me well in their willingness to sell. I have only had a few telling me not for sale at any price. Thanks for watching my video. Rob

That place was a goldmine. How awesome to see you find the Standard sign hidden in the weeds. I hope you go back. There might be anything hidden there.

WOW 😲, this was a great treasure hunt. I loved every moment of it. It was like stepping into the past. As you video the cars, I was imagining who drove them. This was a great find. We were at a gas pump sale, and a gentleman had taken old front light grills from old model cars and converted into lighted wall art. The two big round lights lit up. It was super cool and he was selling them like crazy. They were from authentic old model cars. He would love this place. Thanks for sharing. Yeah!!

I am glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you . I think what you mentioned about a front grill with headlights lit up hung on a wall sounds neat. What a great idea!

I'm surprised that there is any metal laying around after the price of scrap was $400 a ton. Good eyes Rob.

I collect old signs but there is no places like that where I live anymore I would love to have been there with you I could do that for days brother

@gaspumprob 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Michael, Thanks for watching my video and for your comment. Same goes for me. In California places like this do not exist anymore. I also like collecting signs but these days they have become too expensive. This was like a breath of fresh air being able to find original stuff first hand at a affordable price. Rob

Talk about some buried treasures. Tom Cotter from Hagerty would have a field day with all of those old cars.

Awesome! I love to hunt collectibles from scrapyards or junkyards. What part of California was you in that scrapyards? I’m from Southern California. Great finds you got! The best one is Standard Service porcelain sign!!

@gaspumprob Жыл бұрын

I wish Southern California had such places. This was somewhere in central Nebraska.

@dannylaverton3213 2 жыл бұрын

I’d be supprised if that porcelain sign with the paint over it wasn’t a Mobil gas sign like the cut up one you found 👍

@gaspumprob 2 жыл бұрын

Next year if it is still there I will dig it out and bring some spray paint stripper and find out.

Do scrap yards allow you to walk in and look around like this? Do you pay at the front to get in or?

@gaspumprob 2 жыл бұрын

I am glad you asked this question. No Most yards like this are closed to the public because of liability and insurance issues. It took me a while to get permission to enter these places .
