OMG, the 1928 Studebaker race car is priceless. Really I've an odd Passion for Studebakers and a couple of other automobiles makers from the era of 1928 - 1940. In my perspective, the decade of the 1930's saw the most innovative and most attractive "body designs" in the whole 20th Century. Really appreciate this share. It is like time travel. I must visit Jerome. I lived in So Nevada for nearly 20 years 1991 - planning a trip to Arizona and this inspired me beyond words. Enjoy your Explorations and Discoveries ... Beth PS: This is worthy of a revisit on a warmer day. There's a great deal more in the footage that was interesting and worth a closer look.
I grew up in Arizona and went to Jerome a few times as a kid in the late '60's. At that time the whole town was empty, minus a dozen or so hippies that were squatting there, and we were able to explore everything, probably being some of the first people inside some of the abandoned buildings. It was definitely one of the highlights of my life as a prepubescent kid from the city. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me..
...WOW!!! Brings back memories...Jerome was more of a ghost town back in the 70s. It becomes more and more commercial as the years go by. Same for Sedona, but the outskirts are beautiful. l really enjoyed the Gold King Mine, thank you for sharing :)
DAMN!!! This place has it all!!! 2 Dodge L600s!!! White Compact ex-Safeway truck! No shortage of any flavor of Studebakers or Internationals! The tracked military vehicle at 3:36 is called a M-29 Weasel. It had a Studebaker inline 6 engine and manual transmission of some sort.
Don Robertson was the proprietor of Gold King ghost town, He passed away in Nov 2016 ,he collected the vast majority of the old vehicles, He was true lover of the old equipment, A very colorful individual missed by many RIP
Wow one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! I saw 3 of the old trucks I've owned, still have one of them. A real step back in time thanks for posting!
It's absolutely amazing ! I so enjoy these trips around backwater America. I wonder who owns all the historic vehicles ? I bet some restorers would like to bring them back to life. Thanks ever so much. Colin UK.
I thnk there would have to be an awful of of enthusiasts to work on this lot. Which could you choose out of all those. I wouldn't know where to start..
At 3:36, that is a WWII "Weasel" meant for crossing swampy and snowy land. The truck at 5:32 is also military - a 1941 Dodge 1/2-ton but with nonoriginal hood, grille, and cargo bed.Yellow rig at 5:59 is a more original WWII 1/2-ton Dodge too. Saw some others in the backgrounds.
Come from a long line of family of miners who lived in Jerome and Oatman AZ. Many are buried in Jerome, when i lived in Camp Verde I often thought of moving back to Jerome, the family house is still standing & it's now a bed & breakfast Back in the 1960's Jerome had maybe a dozen or so residents i remember a 3 story house a block from downtown with good bones that could be rehabbed was for sale for $600 obo. Of coarse i should have bought it, now it would probably fetch around $250k in as- was condition.
Once again thank you for this little adventure, this place is fascinating and Im putting this on my list of places to go since I live north of Arizona.
New to the channel, and I too love history! I was uncertain of where you were at first. Jerome is a common town name. Maybe help your viewers engage by giving a quick synopsis at the beginning, map location etc. Liked, and subscibed cuz my mom (RIP) was born in Yuma, Az! PS: Me: OG(68) from Boise, Idaho, where 'Jerome' is a farming town in the Snake River!
I think I saw a school bus from the era I went to elementary school. Did a ghost hunt you down at the end? Very interesting old stuff and thanks for the dronage with Dora.
I wonder how many years have been spent collecting all of those very cool vehicles, and artifacts? Thank You for documenting, and sharing, this history. 😊
Have not visited Jerome since the 80s looks about the same and it is a really cool place to visit. Sedona never disappoints. I live in central Maine where did you spend time with your grandfather? Thanks for sharing your adventures.
What a fantastic place to visit! I could spend hours there. I wonder if it would be possible to buy one of those Studebaker Larks or one of the Ford pickups out there. Enjoyed the video very much!
My 53 panel truck’s steering wheel and the words Golden Jubilee, I believe on the horn button. The engine was a 223 cost clipper six cylinder and had a picture of a clipper ship on the valve cover good old machine that I’d love to have back! But I was a teenager and it was ‘party central’ for whole time I had it!
This is incredible I would love to walk through here myself it's an amazing to see all those old stuff these old trucks the old equipment wow too cool to sweet I like this
I went there a few years ago, I love that place. But I'm pretty sure that's not the largest ghost town. There are just a few buildings, a lot of trucks were added later. For me that's just a cool outdoor junk museum. Try to go to Eagle Mountain, California, this is what I call a large ghost town !
1:50 back story on 1907 Studabaker Electric Car. Worth researching. Don found in barn installed new Lead acid batteries. Won almost every event in International Electric car meet in Phoenix and was Banned to come back.
Cool place went there in the 80’s ! My boss’s sister and husband owned the House of Joy restaurant there in town . Yes it was a brothel back in the day!
Honestly the place gives more the vibe of 'I bought an old mine site because it was cheap... so I stored all my projects out there for when I eventually (never) get to them...' Still a cool site though... some part shoppers could have a hey-day with the old vehicles!
Most of that collection was put together by a nice Old Guy named Don Robertson. He liked to to talk to you and would start up the Indy race car and various other things. He built that car with a 1930s Studebaker straight eight. He used to run it on dirt tracks. Don loved old Studebakers. Sadly Don passed about 6 or 7 years ago. I believe his daughter run the place now. Last time I was there was about 4 years ago.
You and your family can explore the grounds of the Gold King Mine and step back in time. Don’t forget your camera! The photographic opportunities are endless. Plan on spending at least a few hours if you enjoy photography! Studebakers Harley Davidsons Working Sawmill Old Trucks Old Tools Fire Trucks
I drove through Jerome in 1973 on my way to LA with my sister i was helping her move out there to go to college. She wanted to take the seneic route and man did we.
Thanks for watching! If you like the video please share it to support future content!
truly breathtaking to see how humans effectively destroy and contort the landscape to fit their needs

There's nothing I love more (outdoors 😉) than rusty old trucks! Bucket list destination for me!
Thank you for this very interesting video. I love old stuff, especially old cars. Thanks again.

Looks like very cool place to wonder around 😀 Great video thanks for taking us there 😎
Da gibt es mehr zu sehen als vor 30 Jahren, als ich das letzte Mal in Jerome war. Fine video and good to understand for us old Germans!
Great job showing all the contents of this Ghost Town.

Thanks for the tour! I usually go on google maps and travel the U.S, but this is much better.

That excavator was old as dirt. I havent seen one of those that complete besides in photos. Awesome video.
Neat place. Thanks for posting.
What a collectors paradise!!!
Wow, it’s my truck heaven. Beautiful rigs.
Super cool place thanks for sharing this

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Greetings from Nashville, Trooper615/Isuzu Trooper Mafia.
That's my home town.. family tree goes back before copper mining. Some say my folks settled their before 1776...
Again, a very nice video. Good work.
Cool place! I'd like to see this one day. Those trucks and vehicles and engines are antiques. I can't believe so many are just left there.
They are watched over, it is a place for a great little visit. So awesome. 🙋♂️🇺🇲🙏👍👍
It's not just detritus, it's a collection.
I think I saw a school bus from the era I went to elementary school. Did a ghost hunt you down at the end?
Very interesting old stuff and thanks for the dronage with Dora.
These old cars are like a gems for me
Great video thank's 👍
I wonder how many years have been spent collecting all of those very cool vehicles, and artifacts? Thank You for documenting, and sharing, this history. 😊
Yeah, some of those trucks are as new as the early 1970’s and others were new when the mine closed, so someone’s been bringing them there.
Awesome place!! Thanks,Bill!
Have not visited Jerome since the 80s looks about the same and it is a really cool place to visit. Sedona never disappoints. I live in central Maine where did you spend time with your grandfather? Thanks for sharing your adventures.
That Studebaker wagon you showed is actually the last year for the Packard brand! That thing is SUPER RARE! Someone would pay good money for that!
What a fantastic place to visit! I could spend hours there. I wonder if it would be possible to buy one of those Studebaker Larks or one of the Ford pickups out there. Enjoyed the video very much!

Shitz old dude.
Cool place went there in the 80’s ! My boss’s sister and husband owned the House of Joy restaurant there in town . Yes it was a brothel back in the day!
thank you, i enjoyed this alot
Nice to see some thing that hasn’t been vandalized and tagged. Has to be people around to help feed and water the animals.
I really don't get why, was it a collector or what, mind blown 😮
Honestly the place gives more the vibe of 'I bought an old mine site because it was cheap... so I stored all my projects out there for when I eventually (never) get to them...' Still a cool site though... some part shoppers could have a hey-day with the old vehicles!
Love all that old stuff I could move there
We visited there several years ago. Definitely worth the trip!
Crazy how this got re-post. I seen this recording 8 years ago. Ill go buy take a few cars trucks being its abandon

Been years since i was there. Do they charge to walk it now.
That was nice place thanks again
Cool tour!

This place looks like any moment 50 or 60 people will start coming in to work.
You and your family can explore the grounds of the Gold King Mine and step back in time. Don’t forget your camera!

That place looks so nice and relaxed compared to Vegas.. Only 4 or so hours away too? Yeesh.
We were there by accident Sat.. pretty cool place
Wow. Frozen in time ⏲️.
I've been there. Don't forget to visit the haunted Arizona Grand.
Somebody must be guarding that place
You should visit the wickenburg mine near wickenburg Arizona they still have the man diesels at that mind and his room to be haunted
this could be a MYST type video game to get the town running
A street sweeper setting amoung the trucks?
Thats nothing my trans am has a 12000 cubic inch V8....
I drove through Jerome in 1973 on my way to LA with my sister i was helping her move out there to go to college. She wanted to take the seneic route and man did we.
Are any of those trucks for sale?
Awesome vehicles what a shame to let them rot.
i wanna go there on my next road trip out west if they'll have me.
A bit overwhelming, in the greatest way.
The majority of those vehicles were brought in there. They are not remnants from the original town. The people of Jerome despise Gold King.
That 10k cube engine is shown running on TH-cam 11 years ago uploaded
Amazing vídeos you
Look at the tyres on that motorcycle @2:43
Yo fui ahi esta muy bonito❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does anyone keep the nicer indoor cars and trucks up? Do people steal from there? The vehicles don’t look as though they’ve been vandalized at all.
Can paranormal and finding ghosts work here?
i love old pickup Ford
Очень красиво. Мне все очень нравится. Очень интересные старые машины.
Greetings from Brandenburg 🇩🇪
Any trucks for sale?
Everything looks so orderly.
