Roadside Relics - by Will Shiers

[MrNonzerogrunt]

I have that book

[TheMostAwesomeMan242]

is it okay to abandon your car like this in America?

[alexabrahamzon]

This video makes me mad. Me and my dad go to old junk yards and find forgotten beauties. We bring them back to their former glory over months of restoration. We have restored 60 cars to date, and this video shows me that we can;t save them all

[SaveOldCars]

@tylerervin05 lol that's great!!

[slipsonic]

And to think..... all these cars were sitting at the dealership bright and shiny and brand new at one time, with an excited customer just waiting to drive it down the road..... I always wonder what happened between that time and what we see now......

[slipsonic]

I got a 64 impala, its a work in progress but its on the road everyday tearin up the asphalt!!

[KapitanArkangel]

i love the old American classics and muscle cars. such a shame and a waste to see them in this state definitely a few great restoration projects in there

[zinger52]

Hey are they still there, what a waste what a heritage shame shame they should be put properly to rest

[TheFugitive1000]

I need a job as care taker in this junk yard

[roterendeinlaatschij]

Rust In Peace

[Statimtek]

I think the Pacer @ 2:19 was a mercy killing LOL

[addeson]

i wonder why thay did that back in the 50s. and i check it with some ppl.

Thay did it cuz it cost to much to fix em or drive em to the junk jard.........

wow........really?

shame on you granpa. :c

[ddarkshark]

what a totally great video!!! this is part of the best youtube in my strange humble opinion sort of........

[Brmobrad]

id push any of those before i drive an electric car

[MrFirstgencamaro]

for some sick reason i love this book 

[zobcity01]

I agree, lets rescue them all.

[playingwithfirehurts]

Machines of honor, machines of valor... just...gone...in just one moment of impaired judgement...just one

[creeydddd]

[badgerbuddy]

[LaFlacs]

[boogetman65]

[sirmugman]

0:11 t-bird, not sure on others i know there names but spelling ugh 2:20 AMC car not sure wynae's world car,

[goblinvert]

This is even sad! all these cars throwed away like garbage... this is revolting!!

[KyleArcherSr1]

omg how can you do that to a work of art like a 56 chevy i wanted to cry when i seen these cars please tell me someone saved there lives

[the520koala]

wow there's some nice stuff in this video!! however that's definetly a ' Tin Doe' at 1:15 from what I can see.

PS: I'm into traditional kustoms and hot rods but I own a 1951 Packard 400 that's goin' stock and I'm tryin to get a kustom project in my hands. A couple of friends and myself are trying to start a small club in Tucson AZ but it's hard to get 'summer jobs' these days (we're 18).

[JumpinPakFlash]

im 18 and these are the type of cars im into, not saxos with lexus lights!

[the520koala]

@JumpinPakFlash hell yeah! me too, I'm down here in Tucson AZ surrounded by a bunch of lawn mowers sporting coffee can mufflers and cell tower faux spoilers. I'm just lucky to have a friend or two that shares my passion for old cars.

[TomaHawck14]

oh fuck!!.... this is a death of ammerican classical car....

[wiltwallaby]

Excellent, it's rustainment.

[Streetlightning7]

2:53 looks restorable and 2:55 is a classic American pic!

[eljinetetriste]

i swear if i didn't live in an apartment i would go out and give one of these new life. but one day i will.

[gadgettec101]

what a shame

[toretus1]

triste muito triste saber que esses carros lindos estão se acabando por falta de cuidado dos seus proprietarios.

[dargonkin]

the lil one at 2:19 looks to be in very good shape overall

[BuddyHollysEdselGirl]

I would SO take that Plymouth at 1:54!

[Abyss0147]

@BuddyHollysEdselGirl Poor Christine...

[FallenFlagband]

@BuddyHollysEdselGirl

Sorry but I'm sure that's a 53' bel air, but that Chrysler at 2:16 is a nice car.

[BuddyHollysEdselGirl]

@FallenFlagband

Oh, no, I meant the '58 Plymouth right before it-my time reference musta been a little off...

[QuadCore120]

They drive it. Park it. Had some problems. Forgot about it. Gangster robs and beat up car. Sits there as they rust. So sad. :(

My parent won't let me get a junk car.

[J240sxxx]

I have this book and its GREAT!!

[rafaelmc76]

this song is just perfect, to most their are probably old pieces of rust, but to the rest of us gearheads they are pieces of history and modern art.

[afcsnaggy]

i only want one!!! JUST ONE GOD DAMN IT....lol

[restodan]

not all abandoned cars rust away, check out the video response on this old car that had sat in a field for 32 years, and now is driven daily and making new memories...

[SaveOldCars]

If I had the money...Let´s work together! Every youtuber saves one old car...

[RCT3Crashes100]

@SaveOldCars I would, if i had a drivers licsence and the money, I would so take the hearse and restore it, or one of those chevys...

[thedanwind]

@SaveOldCars currently restoring mine

[SaveOldCars]

@thedanwind Hey, me too! Great!

[tylerervin05]

[LyingUnderOath1]

Kills me to see these cars rotting in fields all over the country.

[XM170]

At 0:53, is that a presidential car?

[playingwithfirehurts]

no, probably a hearse or an ambulance

[beetlefreak66]

DAT BUG NEEDS RESTO

[MrCaddilac]

[MrCaddilac]

[aligatortuning]

Shame that history is lost because of technology ....... Rip beautiful times were long.....I'm very sorry to disappear like a beauty ........:(

[crystalscan2002]

some fo those cars could prob be restored with not that much wrok

[MIELEFOREVER]

shredder

[liveforspeedDARTZ]

0:32 a tree has growen in thecar lold

[spudsmac55]

wishing that I could get my hands on some of the parts form the 47 Nash

[carguy1455]

1:01 so thats what happened to the flying car in harry potter iwas wondering were that went

[Fockersnextdoor]

the back seat of that one car made me remember your mom, WOO WOO!

[57OldsGal]

Great video. I like the sound track...

[megatwingo]

5*****

[drewerz01]

So many sad sights here... especially the belvedere at 1:51:( I'd donate parts of my Anatomy for one of those

[MondoBeno]

I'll guess they were scrapped when the spare parts market wasn't big. But they should be worth something now.

If you take the parts off the old car and scrape off the rust, you should be able to sell it to a classic car restorer.

You wonder why nobody has the sense to do that now.

[tinpax1]

i bet half of those cars a part cars ,

25% of them pre resto cars ,

And probly less then 10% pure scrap.

[juanma590]

I Like the Ford Falcon

[darlynrodriguez]

cabrera my carro favorito es el buick century de v1956 si alguien conoce de la venta de este modelo favor de llamarme al 786 512 0914 grasias

[Titliest07]

you have to wonder all the stories about them, who drive them and why they are where they are now.....

[Swweik]

My favourite Plymouth Fury at 1:52...((( So sad...

[VisionOfSound]

Wow, someone should take care of these cars. When I turn 18, im going to find cars like these and make use of them. Either drag them to a scrap yard after all the useable parts are taken off. Or fix'em and make them run again. Memories should'nt be left in the rain to rust and rot.

[Titliest07]

i hope you have a ton of money

[1968DodgePolara]

Yep hope your parents left you a trust fund taks alot of money to rstore cars or buy them to take parts off of

[jamesthegreat16]

2:45 all the bullet holes in the side of the car

[THOMASOAKMAN]

Lord, Mr.Ford What Have We Done

[traxadron1]

Majority of people in this country put their parents in a retirement home to die off...you think they will care about cars?? Americans dont appreciate unwanted and old things!

[SpartanHunt3r60]

People talk about animal cruelty, this is worse! VEHICLE CRUELTY. :[.

[327caprice]

I'll take the 60 Widetrack at 2:52

[peterbiltxr379]

i've seen a few of these vids people are fuckin' heartless

[artblind]

Just the abundance of the stuff lying around over there just blows me away. Lucky lucky bastards!!!

[mrobbins1925]

i would love to have the 1937 nash lafayette 2 door sedan. its the first car

[nipperoid]

POOR AMC! id love that!

[ford1979truck]

[michaelmohrmann]

[doctitan]

[bigchap29]

[mrke8ting]

[NickAden13]

i would like to have that 55 caddy at 35 sec

[eze14213]

trunk doors no motor probably no windows nothin is there to salvage its not worth it

[NickAden13]

True but I found one i'm trying to buy it's in good condition but dosen't run.

[eze14213]

about the roadmaster ?? if so get it no matter if it runs or not. if it dont run give him 600 or 800 for it with the money you are saving on buying it running put in it to make it run you know what im sayin so either way your walking away with a running car 2 grand should be enuff to start out with dont you think

[NickAden13]

I'm talking about a 55 caddy. Yea 2 grand would be a good start.

[SSKID65]

That 60 Boneville at 2:52 has potensal! I'll take it! Great video,poor music. sorry.

[inkey2]

I live in a very wealthy city near Boston, lots of big old houses. There was a house about 2 miles from where I live. In the two driveways was two "1955 packards" A pink & white one on one side and a blue and white one on the other side. It was really creepy. Those two cars sat there, long after they stopped running, just rotting, till about 2006. The house had been on the decline for "years" I always wondered what was the story was on the people who lived there...very "Steven King-ish"

[SWmodel29]

Just tow some back to your home and call Pimp My Ride :D

[mungo47]

the caddy at 3:30 looks alright

[Animefreaky94]

What is 1:24?

[Furetgarcon]

i wonder is against the law to take an old car like the car at 1:56 if it has been completely abandoned? =/

[TCRRacing]

you have to go through the dmv, there is a specific process for getting a title for it as well

[68chevelleSS396]

poor ford at 2:06

[mungo47]

defintly going to america to check all that out. great vid mate!!!!

[dude486]

[68chevelleSS396]

[oldskoolcoin]

The Pacer at 2:21 can stay there

[JamesKruize]

Music sucks, Cars are beautiful

[MrStarzky]

[ethen24]

Song is "Something Beautiful" by The Small Hours

[deneufville]

salut ,y like the song ......... the wrecks of cars on our premises (Europe) they leave to recycling. I passed to the USA and it is afflicting to see all these wrecks polluting the landscape, c' is romantic but frankly should do the housework to you ...... but I like you very of same!

[olskool29]

the song SUCKED! the cars are awesome though

[spanner69me]

damn u americans...u have all the nice classics .i think its about time i moved there love em all

[deneufville]

[Gaz5976]

[redradiodog]

Just think,everyone of these cars was brand new at one time.I'm older than alot of them...SCARY!

[68chevelleSS396]

[humvee600]

[nanakittycat]

whats the song called and who wrights it !!!

[shaundis2117]

awesome song and vid..

[rg65]

WHY does almost EVERY clip of whatever on Youtube gotta have some shitty music attached to it?

NO ... it does not add anything.

Its almost like everyone races to upload something here just so they can have an excuse to broadcast their favorite crappy music.

[sidomitch]

Here Here! I just mute the audio! Half the people who comment are more interested in the dopey music and "who does it", "whats it called", than saying something half intelligent about the cars!

[andreibf]

Some of those cars look like they still have a chance,and some look like they were destroyed recently which is a complet shame.

[heackix]

the yellow one at :45 looks like an italian amphicar doesn't it? and i love the one at 2:06 with the tree growing through the front, it's kinda sad how long some amazing cars have been left forgotten

[RustbucketP6]

The song is by the Small Hours. Check out their MTV interview on You Tube.

[keetonbob]

gonna make me cry man. sad song, sad cars. :)

[style2ouf]

Hey whats the name of the song?It suites this video so perfectly.Great job man.

[roadtransport]

Nice Ken Burns effect - or should that be the Ken Morse effect? Anyway - awesome pictures.

[RustbucketP6]

I've just ordered a copy!
