sorry to hear dickie has passed. i bought lots of parts when i was younger from him. he would never sell me a whole car though. you should ask about the cars out at his farm. I never saw them but he was always saying he got that part out on the farm lot. i had 6 cars in the past . and his prices were all for the restorers benefit. he will be missed. RIP Dickie
Put together two cars with help of Mr. Jones, back in the early 90s. Wife's '57 station wagon and my '55 sedan. Big Spring was a regular haunt. There used to be a picture of my '55 on his wall. If you need it for a tri-five, he pretty much would have had it. Try to save a 4 dr hardtop. They are more scarce than two-dr hardtops or sedans. His wife was one of the more charming women I've ever met. Saddened when I heard of his passing. RIP Dickie Lee! The Fin Doctor has left the building.
Take care of the pup he likes you two as much as you like working on the old cars. Nice Continental cap, I have been mounting them for 20 years now and I don't have a nice hat like that one. LOL and we enjoyed your video as usual.
You all have given Linda peace and joy in taking on Dickies legacy in many ways and ensuring that his lifes work lives on and is cherished. Money aside You, Aaron, Dave and all who helped are now custodians ensuring that these Chev's live on in something other than canned goods and imported cars. Got to say too that Your video contributions to Dave's Oddessy are appreciated lol, He is a Slacker! Love it
Not sure if you guys remember me, I work in Las Vegas and met you guys while you were out and told you about my 57 wagon that I was LSA swapping and how your Datsun vids inspired me. Absolutely LOVE this vid! Guy has 57s galore! Id love to get in touch with him for spare parts haha
I am so happy for you all that you got to get a hold of a good project for your time. If you ever need help rescuing more vehicles let me know. My 80 year old Dad and I would love to do a project before he gets to the point where he is not going to be able to work anymore, I figure at the pace he goes we have about three to six years left at most that he can bounce around like the energizer bunny for 6 to 8 hours a day. God bless you all and hope you get everything you need. Thanks for sharing your work and time. We always enjoy watching you guys.
It’s wonderful that you have the opportunity to honor Dickie and Linda. Our prayers are with her. If she has any 80s B-bodies I’d be interested. I thought I saw one in the background.
Have fun, y'all. Tri-Five Chevrolets are something special. I almost bought a '56 in the spring of 1967, for $400. I answered a newspaper classified ad, checked out the car, agreed to the owners asking price, and went home, about a mile and a half, to get the cash. When I got back, the car was gone, sold to someone else who showed up right after me with cash in his pocket. Best of luck to you.
Talk about a sweet time of strolling, dreaming scheming! A person could spend hours and days roaming that yard, and still feel that you have spent any time at all there.
What fun and opportunity. So so so glad y’all are getting the barn ‘57…you know he would have been stashing away the best parts he came across. Y’all will make awesome videos building that car.
They passed that one-of-a-kind deal up and went with the rust buckets 🪣 (I'm sure it'll be fun either way, but that old guy could die before they get another chance to buy the SOLID car you can lean on without falling through it). I guess it's going to be a fun welding/Frankenstein's monster kind of deal. I'll enjoy watching 👀 anyways haha.😎✌🏽
11:20, the 4 door hardtop, you better snag that one. One or the rarest and in my opinion, prettiest 57s ever made. James Bond drove one in the first Bond movie. It was a taxi that he stole.
Too bad about Dickie RIP sir... id buy the 57 in the garage if i was you two... like the man said you two are young and have plenty of time to fix her up slowly and enjoy... maybe pass it down to your kids, ok maybe im going to far for you at the moment, but if i was closer and had more room id buy it ! Thanks for sharing👍
OMGosh, I love all them cars but favor earlier ones like that 40 you showed. BTW, I know you'er probably tired of hearing this but your personality is so much fun to watch. Never change.
Sometime if you're a little northwest of Fort Worth, check out Barclay's Salvage in Alvord. Literally acres of cars from the 30s to (almost) present scattered all over the place. Lotta parts in there.
I just bought a 1965 bel air gonna take acouple weeks to get it. It’s 85 percent perfect. Lol. A little body and interior work and good to go. I’m so excited!!!
Dogs, ducks, classic cars, good friends... OH and chickens too!!! Great video and SOOOO happy you're picking up the barn resto, I'll watch for updates on it with great enthusiasm. Thank you and God Bless.
Brings back memories. In 1976 I bought my wife a 1 owner 1956 Belaire deluxe 4 door with less than 30 k on the odo for $ 750.00 out of a Lompoc California dealers lot. Huge 4 barrel carb that drank gallons and gallons of fuel. Sold the beast to pay for school 2 years later.
I had a 57’ 210 in high school, loved that car. Dad and I put a 348 out of a 60’ impala with a 4 speed on the floor. Boy did I get in trouble with that car. Would love to have it back.
I look forward to seeing what y'all end up with and how they get done up. I'm sure they'll be awesome. Gotta preserve what we still have because once they're gone that's it.
Great program! I had a 56 Nomad that I sold and the fellow that bought it took it to a whole level of awesome! You will have so much fun. When I sold my Nomad , the only reason I sold it, I had four other projects going that required alot more time and a whole bunch of my money! My wife says I was vaccinated with a wheel and that's reason I have been hooked all these many years. Keep up your awesome work, make it a great evening!
In my opinion, '55 thru 63 Chevys were the coolest cars ever produced. I had one of all but the '59 and '61 over several years in the 60s and 70s. Sure wish I had kept a few! My favorites were a '57, '60, '62, and '63 convertibles. However the one I wish I still had the most was a '58 baby blue Desoto convertible. I have not seen one in years because they all fell apart. It looked like it was a mile long... I couldn't afford more than two at a time, and all were considered old cars at the time.
What a great collection. The thought that comes to mind since first seeing it on the initial road trip: You can’t take it with you. This applies to so many collections and “hoards” that end up rusting out before the collectors can get to them. I’m glad this collection will be enjoyed by many new people in the future.
Just bombing down the road…now that we got all the bolts in the transmission. I loved going to old junkyards back in the 70’s & 80’s. So many 57’s in that collection…my favorite year. Those Crager rims nice to have if there were 4.
US$7k, is like about a quarter of what that would go for in that condition, here Down Under. I've heard of Aussie Falcons from the '70's (sedans of the Mad Max shape) going for nearly AU$10k in a condition where there's not enough steel left to recycle.
I drive by that place every time I go back to my home town, always like to stop by and see what is out there. Ive also have eaten at that same Whataburger lol.
I know the feeling. After my daughter had a tree jump out in front of our CUCV; while doing a frame swap I noticed a bolt that someone forgot to tighten on the TH400. oops... "I'm not a smart man" Forest Gump
It won't take long for that yard to empty out! So sad..I had to turn down the music in the other video so I didn't ugly cry.. Glad that some of his cars are going to good homes! 🙏😥
There's a guy in Albertville Alabama my home town that has over 1000++ cars and a little trucks no exaggeration but he has 1912-1950 cars and 80% are all sold and parts in a garage bigger than Walmart he has people all over the world come buy from him but let me tell you his not cheap just a 1942 Ford body(in amazing shape) with all original windows and rims plus all ok interior ect but he wanted 22k for it plus he has motors for them if needed. Dude is awesome and a straight shooter he dosent believe in lying and the saddest part of it is that his 80+ years old and his son don't care for cars so they will probably all get took to the scrap yard soon makes me so pissed off and upset 😭
Tom Bailey could use the roof off that 57 wagon after Ayden crossed the finish line @ 185 mph on the roof of "Shit Box of Doom" ! Loved this episode, my 1st car was a '57 Bel-Air I bought when I was 15 yo for $500 good project car but it didn't have a single piece of chrome with it ! When I found how hard to find and expensive that was I traded it for a Suped up Bug with Mag Wheels ! Hard to restore a car on a $ 1.85 per hour Dishwashers pay @ IHOP in the '70's ! ✌️💜🎸 From STL MO
I bought and entire 57 2 door post from a scrap yard in 1965 for $250. I gave another $10 for a good left front fender. The car was a 6 cyl but that was the only missing part. I purchased a used 421 Hi Po Pontiac engine with tri power. What a beast!
6:20 - we see Camera Op Feet,...up on the trailer for the best shot. Y'know, the video on Finn's channel, the camerawork was better after they arrived at Flying Sparks Garage, just sayin',... Seeing the comment Newbern made on Finn's channel about what happened to Dickie, let's hope the great deals are going to help provide some financial security for his family, and that those folk surrounding them make sure the sharks don't rip the family off.
Being in that car lot is like the humane society for old Iron. All of them looking at you dejected but hopefully and you just can't bear the thought of leaving them behind instead of giving them a second chance at life
sorry to hear dickie has passed. i bought lots of parts when i was younger from him. he would never sell me a whole car though. you should ask about the cars out at his farm. I never saw them but he was always saying he got that part out on the farm lot. i had 6 cars in the past . and his prices were all for the restorers benefit. he will be missed. RIP Dickie
She's so calm and cool 😎
Sending my condolences Rip Dickey Family Great video and Collection
Put together two cars with help of Mr. Jones, back in the early 90s. Wife's '57 station wagon and my '55 sedan. Big Spring was a regular haunt. There used to be a picture of my '55 on his wall. If you need it for a tri-five, he pretty much would have had it.

Emily and Aaron y'all have a heart of Gold I love my 55,56,57 Chevys
Oh!!!
I do happy , that someone took that Nomad !!!
OMG , the duck at the end was priceless. Please, Please, Please save those cars. Thank You for taking us with.
Her eyes are astonishing! Compelling! Alluring! Her voice is like honey. AAAAAAND... She likes Whataburger! YAYYYYY!
Get them Now . I myself have passed on to many over the years. The Stories are the best and will last forever. How many ever you can afford Get Them.
@10:46 the sun looks awesome!
makes me yearn for a time when I wasn't even born just tears at my soul. dreams.
Take care of the pup he likes you two as much as you like working on the old cars. Nice Continental cap, I have been mounting them for 20 years now and I don't have a nice hat like that one. LOL and we enjoyed your video as usual.
Emily's Eye's are Amazing!

I love watching people getting so excited over what I would consider junk !!! To each his own ! Have fun people.......
What an awesome opportunity. Great content, as always. Blessings from a fan in Tennessee.
I am so happy for you all that you got to get a hold of a good project for your time. If you ever need help rescuing more vehicles let me know.

Another fine episode of Emily & Aaron's Adventure's. Glad the two of you are having so much fun.
Great sound track! Fantastic energy!
You need to get that 40's coupe @13:30, by the pile of wheels! I would love to see you wrenching on that....
It’s wonderful that you have the opportunity to honor Dickie and Linda. Our prayers are with her. If she has any 80s B-bodies I’d be interested. I thought I saw one in the background.
Got a quick peek of a nice red Bronco. My favorite. Owned 2 1972 Broncos
You are Special and you husband is one lucky fella 😁👍👌🤙💯
Every time is see a two door post 57 chevy, all I can think about is Hot Rod magazine's Yellow Project X! Someone should do a tribute car.
Have fun, y'all. Tri-Five Chevrolets are something special. I almost bought a '56 in the spring of 1967, for $400. I answered a newspaper classified ad, checked out the car, agreed to the owners asking price, and went home, about a mile and a half, to get the cash. When I got back, the car was gone, sold to someone else who showed up right after me with cash in his pocket. Best of luck to you.
I used to pass that yard going to and from Midland when I worked out that way.
Talk about a sweet time of strolling, dreaming scheming! A person could spend hours and days roaming that yard, and still feel that you have spent any time at all there.
Yeah that car in the garage he will never lose any money on that one for sure
Man, Brandon's square rig is bad ass.
Never pass up a 57 chevy! Can't wait to see what you guys bring home!
Being an AUSTRALIAN, it has to be the UTE.👍👍👍😆😆😆
DD’s speed shop’s would love this.
Get the one in the garage, build it the way you want and put a nice thin paint job on it so you can watch it weather as you drive it
There are so many places like this in TEXAS I know of a few just cause I always drive backroads
I was devastated to hear of Dickie's passing, RIP Dickie.
What fun and opportunity. So so so glad y’all are getting the barn ‘57…you know he would have been stashing away the best parts he came across. Y’all will make awesome videos building that car.

I guess it's going to be a fun welding/Frankenstein's monster kind of deal. I'll enjoy watching 👀 anyways haha.😎✌🏽
It great to see you guys care so much about old cars been that way all my life I am sure you will pick the right one or one's good luck stay safe.
That 40 Sedan with the complete hood looked really nice.
I can't wait to see those old cars get restored . U r awsome girl.
That 67 impala out front looked pretty nice
That is one BEAUTIFUL dually! I'm in Love 💖💖💖
The 57 in the shed would be my pick all day long.
11:20, the 4 door hardtop, you better snag that one. One or the rarest and in my opinion, prettiest 57s ever made. James Bond drove one in the first Bond movie. It was a taxi that he stole.

Your energy is so extreme I would hate to see you in a bad mood Emily. No doubt a wonderful time you have shared thank you
Great story, great video. I hope Dickie is looking down at yall with great pride. .
I had my first Whataburger last year in Alabama. I'm in Ohio and 69 yrs old! Good burger!
I just bought a 1965 bel air gonna take acouple weeks to get it. It’s 85 percent perfect. Lol. A little body and interior work and good to go.
I’m so excited!!!
Hello angel lady have a good time glad to be your new channel again
Wonderful so much work and fun at the same time.
Dogs, ducks, classic cars, good friends... OH and chickens too!!! Great video and SOOOO happy you're picking up the barn resto, I'll watch for updates on it with great enthusiasm. Thank you and God Bless.
Wowww luv those Blair’s 57,56,55,can’t wait to see the finish process 😂👍
Brings back memories. In 1976 I bought my wife a 1 owner 1956 Belaire deluxe 4 door with less than 30 k on the odo for $ 750.00 out of a Lompoc California dealers lot. Huge 4 barrel carb that drank gallons and gallons of fuel. Sold the beast to pay for school 2 years later.
So awesome can't believe all the nice 57's!!! What a gold mine!!
Hank is a hunka hunka droopy love.
Oh wow can't wait to see what you pick and decide to rebuild. Since I can remember 57 Chevy has be my favorite so excited to see what you do.
Nice job!
I had a 57’ 210 in high school, loved that car. Dad and I put a 348 out of a 60’ impala with a 4 speed on the floor. Boy did I get in trouble with that car. Would love to have it back.
Guess how much that 348 big block is worth now?
I had a black '60 Impala with a 348 too...
I look forward to seeing what y'all end up with and how they get done up. I'm sure they'll be awesome. Gotta preserve what we still have because once they're gone that's it.

Oh shit...ILost concentration when Hank showed up...❤
I used to mix paint for Dickies 57s 25 years ago I loved his yellow 57 the most
Someone needs to do some headliner work.
Very cool, really enjoyed!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
My dad and his identical twin bought new identical 55 Chevys in 1955. Two tone red and white.
What a great collection.
The thought that comes to mind since first seeing it on the initial road trip:
You can’t take it with you.
This applies to so many collections and “hoards” that end up rusting out before the collectors can get to them.
I’m glad this collection will be enjoyed by many new people in the future.
That’s awesome!!
DD Speed shop in Canada would be is his glory looking around this yard. He's done some impressive work with these tri 5 Chevys!
I hope your projects are successful now that you have acquired so much good stuff. The garage car should be someone's labor of love.
Just bombing down the road…now that we got all the bolts in the transmission. I loved going to old junkyards back in the 70’s & 80’s.
So many 57’s in that collection…my favorite year. Those Crager rims nice to have if there were 4.
DO IT! $7K, YOU CAN'T PASS UP A DEAL LIKE THAT! Give her some love, and bring back a wonderful piece of history!
US$7k, is like about a quarter of what that would go for in that condition, here Down Under.
I've heard of Aussie Falcons from the '70's (sedans of the Mad Max shape) going for nearly AU$10k in a condition where there's not enough steel left to recycle.
I want the El Camino in the barn.
Sooo looking forward to part 2 and seeing everything you bring home!
I drive by that place every time I go back to my home town, always like to stop by and see what is out there. Ive also have eaten at that same Whataburger lol.
Congrats! That 4 door hardtop is cool also!
awsome footage
I'm so jealous right now.
The stories each car could tell. Amazing honey hole.
I know the feeling. After my daughter had a tree jump out in front of our CUCV; while doing a frame swap I noticed a bolt that someone forgot to tighten on the TH400. oops...
"I'm not a smart man" Forest Gump
those old cars are so cool.
You all are doing a good thing thank you
That was awesome video guys think it’s great the love and passion of old cars that you both have
What great tribute that will be to Dickie.
Awesome collection of cars can’t wait to see what you guys pick 40 would be my pick
WOW! I have never seen so many 57/56 Chevys in one place. This is so cool!
Emily, you are a very special lady!
I don't know how anyone can resist all those awesome classics.
Do the restoration! It deserves you guys and you deserve it too!!!
Emily I loved that wagon with the frame sitting on it out in the open. The wagons are making a comeback! And I’d take that El Camino.
It won't take long for that yard to empty out! So sad..I had to turn down the music in the other video so I didn't ugly cry.. Glad that some of his cars are going to good homes! 🙏😥

Your trailer is built in my hometown of Emory TX. Kearney started from a little 2 car garage in the 90's. His son Koby runs it now.
Being in that car lot is like the humane society for old Iron. All of them looking at you dejected but hopefully and you just can't bear the thought of leaving them behind instead of giving them a second chance at life
