I'll make an effort to see if I can find this yard again. It would be interesting to see what's still there. The Junk yard guy was pretty old and didn't look too healthy. Sometimes what happens is any relatives tend to want to bulldoze the land and try to sell the property. When they do that, they can be really uneducated about potential value of all these cool american wheels

I agree with every response given from the many viewers of this video. I apologize for the poor quality of the video. I only had a flip video camera and found it difficult to shoot while crawling through branches and vines. I am not crsher. I am merely a heart felt observer like you. The root cause of their demise is the current salvage price of steel.( bring $5 to 7 hundred ea.) The salvage yard owner has no other income and little knowledge of any global internet sales or marketing potential

I had a 1939 Chrysler I tried to sell for $300 for nearly 2 years to keep it from getting crushed. I bet everybody that called me or looked at it had more money than me but it was "too rough" etc. Finally a guy showed up with a $100 bill and a story about restoring it. Best offer I got in two years so he got it. I bet he took it straight to the scrap yard and sold it for around $250 just like I should have done. People need money, if you want to save them go out spend the money.
