The Faded Beauties of Seward Auto Salvage - 15th Anniversary Re-Upload Dedicated to Derek R. Metz

This is a remake of a video I had on my old channel, when on March 4, 2009 my friend Derek Metz and I took a walk around the back lot of Seward Auto Salvage near Newville, WI (since closed, but the junkyard is still there, now operated by Morrison's of Edgerton) to explore the vintage automobiles left to rust there for many decades.
Some of the vehicles seen in this video:
c. 1949 Kaiser in "Crystal Green"
A couple of Corvairs
Citroën DS (I described Citroën as "one of the more well-known French car designers" for having made the Traction Avant - an early example of a successful front-wheel-drive car; and the mass-selling 2CV or "Deux Chevaux")
c. 1955-'56 Hudson "Hornet"
1972 Checker Marathon
c. 1930s Ford school bus (from the nearby Edgerton, WI school district)
c. 1970 Chrysler New Yorker
Marmon-Herrington work truck
c. 1971 Ford Thunderbird
Flxible Visicoach bus
All the video portions were taken with the 640x480, 25 FPS MPEG-1 video mode of the Sony point-and-shoot digital camera I was using at the time, and have been AI-enhanced and upscaled to 1280x960 using AVCLabs Video Enhancer AI.
Derek loved all things mechanical and anything with an internal combustion engine, so this sort of thing was his happy place. Sadly Derek suffered from multiple physical and mental health challenges throughout his life, and died by suicide in 2016 at the age of 30.
