I should have tried to find pictures of those models when they were new and posted them in the video! I just now thought about it. Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Looks a lot like the one my Dad had when I was a child. A 1958 Ford Country Sedan Ranch Wagon my Dad's was white on green two tone. There were four of us kids we would fight over who would sit way in the back. Loved those station wagons! BTW my Dad settled the fight over who sat way in the back quickly! 😂
Old abandoned wrecks were placed along creek beds to keep them from eroding. '60 Buick LeSabre, 58 Plymouth, 58 Mercury wagon, '40's Plymouth or Dodge 4 dr sedan that I remember noticing. Fun video, thanks!
The huge eyebrow looking tailfin four dour is 58-59 Impala I recognized several other Impalas of various years they are easy to spot because of to he very distinctive 3 round taillights or the crazy fins and sideways teardrop tail light lens. Also I have come to learn as was already mentioned that to the absolute horror of many of today's tree hugger environmental nuts old cars often still containing all kinds of toxic fluids were used as foundations within many kinds of different earthworks readily available easy to shape provided a great deal of erosion resistance compared to using only soil to construct a earthen berm or irrigation canal and a million more times cost effective than the use of reinforced concrete and to our fore fathers credit the environmental harm caused by a vehicle and it's toxic fluids being allowed to leach into the soil and ground water as the elements reclaim the manufacturered bits of a car overtime and it slowly disintegrates.
Oh my goodness Al! How’d i miss this one? 6 days ago?! 🙄 Great stuff!! Really enjoy seeing/hearing Faith along on this adventure! She does a great job with “color commentary”, beautiful voice and she asks all the right questions.and she’s always easy on the eyes as well! Sad to see the state of those neglected houses and barns. Faith gets just as excited as you do Al! You have an exceptional family to share your exploration! Those wrecks were an exciting find.
I was wondering if you were on vacation when I didn't see your comment. LOL you usually never miss a video. Yeah it's a lot of fun exploring with them. I give her a hard time sometimes when she takes pictures of really old things that are from the late 80s 😂. She took a picture of a push button phone from the late 80s. She thought that it was from the '60s LOL glad you like the videos!
I liked the old farmstead. I bet it was a very nice operation back in the day. The cars were very interesting also. Probably a goldmine of parts that could be used in restoration projects for sure. I also think it is very cool that your family likes exploring with you. Keep up the good work! 👍
The car with the tree growing in it looked like an old Ford and the car you showed the back of was a 59 or 60 Chevy and let me say, it's a shame to see these cars in this condition. It makes a man want to cry seeing these classics in this condition.
That car was actually a true Impala. Impala only had the stainless trim slats in the taillight lenses. The rare trunk lids that are very hard to find are the trunk lids that came off the 2-door hardtop (sport coupe) impala's. Those trunk lids are a little over a foot longer than all the other trunk lids that came out in 1959 Chevrolet passenger model vehicle's.
'58 Ford Wagon with tree, '59 chevy with batwing tail; red car '59 Buick; I think the shot instrument cluster car is a '57 Plymouth; Early '50s chevy with engine; green car '60 ford.
Love the abandon house, it is so neat but love all those cars. Good parts in there yet wall hangers. What a good score wish I was there I would retrieve some of that stuff.
It's amazing what is left and a lot of these abandoned houses! I have explored some with family keepsakes, photos, and even baby books. It's really sad.
@18:15 is a 1959 impala 4-door sedan. @19:17 is another 1959 impala 4-door, but it's a hardtop. Most everyone calls them "flat tops". Im not very knowledgeable about Plymouth's but the car you look inside of that's behind the '59 flat top is a 1957 or 1958 Plymouth belvedere. The same car that was used in the movie "Christine".
Red car is a 1960 buick Lesabre. The only vehicle that is probably worth saving is that Plymouth that had all the cans in it. The only way it would be worth saving is if it was a true belvedere. Not sure if it is or not since I didn't see any trim on it.
It surprising that they're still there after so many years! When scrap metal went up many years ago I still lived in the south and any scrap anywhere was hauled in to the recycle yard. I'm sure someone doing a restoration would be willing to pay a fair amount for original parts.
There was one more note to that "South Dakota" video: Have seen literally HUNDREDS of vids here on the tubage. That one there was pretty cool: One driving, one filming, one researching and one watching out the window and saying, "Hey look!" That's unique. It's not seen much.
You. Have. A. Keen. Eye. For this. The age. Of. These properties. Is amazing. In. Mid 1970 S. my brother. Had. Built. A house. In. New. Subdivisions. The. Dry wall was. Lathe and. Plaster. But instead. Of. Wood. Slats. The. Used. Plastic. Mesh
I've never seen plastic lathe. I never knew they made it. I learned a few years ago that they used horse hair in the plaster for strength. They definitely knew what they were doing!
I don't know if I have ever seen one collapse that way! Usually the roof falls in then the second floor. But it seems to be collapsing from the bottom up. Thanks for the comment.
'58 Ford Wagon, couple of '59 Chevys, the Plymouth is a '57 model. The red one is a '60 Buick. The one with the engine is a '53 Chevy. Green '60 Ford Fairlane.
Beauty is in eye of the beholder. As the owners grew older it becomes more impossible too climb the hights necessary for repairs. Also, labor is more expenssive now too.
You are absolutely right! The cost of Labor has risen so much in the recent years. I'm glad that I can do all the labor myself. I don't see how people afford it!
@@whatsaroundthebend I call their increased earnings " stupid money " , cause had they had a brain for thrifty financiing, they'd certainly not throw money away as such has been going on on ebay & Amazon auctions. I met this fella during a moonlighting opportunity. He seemed pleasent, & my friends were all currently into family matters. So, I made a new acquaintence. One day he's sharing with me the very key occurance of events which kicked off major spending habbits on these two websites. He himself had gotten pinched by the rules of it all - which is naturally what happens to slackers. He was great at picking items & selling them quickly at higher prices, yet he had slacked off on important details. Well, why have any details I inquired, since selling & buying in this frenzy is so common place now? The companies he was selling for weren't scratching off any retail stickers. So, customers buy wanting an item " NOW " instead of waiting a week more, yet they gripe once they realize how much money they had agreed too pay ( over pay per retail sticker...not the current online market price ) . Who is really the bigger fool here? Really. Well, ebay came down on him & paypal ceased his earned credits until he payed the ebay fines. Though the customers whom are paying the STUPID, " I MUST HAVE IT NOW " prices - keep doing as they do because everybody else involved is getting " STUPID RICH " from such purchases. Congress took notice as politicians always will & state taxes rose too match what they considered fair game. And too sweeten the deal they passed all these other laws which gave mechanics & postal workers lots more earnings! Meanwhile Americans are too distracted too observe more spending by our own Congress which puts us all further into debt with China. China already owns a once American owned oil company in the Gulf of Mexico, on the Southern shores of Texas. How many other Natural American Resources are China going too buy up while Americans are so districted? 🤔
Newest car '60 Buick Lesabre, or the '60 Ford beside it. I would guess late '60s early 70s at the most when they were 'put to pasture'. Just old outdated not worth anything junk cars nothing more nothing less- at that time. That '58 Ford wagon sure had a large tree thru it! Also saw a '57 Plymouth-probably a Savoy which was a lower line model. Not to mention '59 Impala's one looked like a flat top design.
There was some sharp cars out there for sure. That tree growing out of that wagon is an oak tree so you know it's been there many years to get that big! I figured those cars were just pushed out of the field towards the bank so the farmers would have more room to plant corn.
The sheet metal is still desirable. Most of those body designs are so unique & obscure that they are desirable vs making from scratch. Even in the state these are in now, an individual can make good of them, provided he has a shop & the need. Or just a desire to restore one. Tools have come a long way. The English wheel is still a very handy tool in any body shop. However Richard Rawlings & other restoration shops will most likely run from such opportunities because they use multiple employees to get each car restored one at a time. Profiting is not always the journey of they individual car restorationist unless he can flip it fast. Thus buyers will find gobs of bondo & lots of corner cutting too meet personal deadlines.
Were are you at what state, I wish you were Close to Conn, I would love to go See some of the old Cars, The Plymouth looks like a 59-60, The car in back of it is about the same year, chevy 60, , That tree in the middle of the station wagon has to be 60 years or older, There all close to the same year, But the 1 is late 30-40's, I wonder why they were put back in the woods
I'm curious about that myself. I'm thinking they were just pushed out of the field to plant corn there. Could have been a shop there for someone stored junk vehicles there at one time. I would love to know. I was excited to find them! They are in Southeast Nebraska.
I'm wondering if there was an old mechanic shop there at one time, and those cars were just pushed out of the way to grow crops. We probably will never know. It was definitely a cool find!
@@whatsaroundthebend ya I went back about 5 years after I first found it with a trailer and winch. I guess they had had a massive flood a few years before basically destroyed everything. The one you found is cool as hell there’s still plenty of that type stuff up there Wyoming, Montana too
In the old days they had very large families 10 to 16 children wasn’t uncommon like my mothers family! The farm they grew up on looks just like this one! That’s what having 16 kids will do to a place!
When I was in my teens I knew a lady down in Mississippi that had 20 brothers and sisters. There were 21 children in all and all from the same parents! I couldn't imagine having 21 children to keep up with.
@WhatsAroundtheBend Here’s how it worked with my mom’s family! There was the main house with her parents and the two oldest, then just outside there door was the kitchen house where everyone took their meals, then two small houses outback for the rest of the farm labor crew known as all my uncles and aunts!
At 17:28, 18:05, and 18:15 that is a 1959 Chevy Caprice/Impala. My father had the Caprice. Black w white top and trim. Warning! If you go hiking through the past, please wear steel shank and toe footwear, please. And another warning, those vehicles were put into that ravine for a purpose. As in stolen vehicles. Hopefully, the person, or persons responsible for this has long since passed. Scars makes you smarter!
I need to carry an extra pair of boots with me all the time! I believe the cars have been there many decades! Several of them were almost completely buried. You are definitely right about the scars! Lol
@@whatsaroundthebend Thank you very much for the info, It helps me picture the location. I used to be a OTR tucker and would always notice places like this. Some states like AZ, NM they stand for a very long time. Other States they are gone in only a few years. Maybe 10 years in Ohio, WV. It is a same about that barn. That one is worth saving.
That appears to be late 1700's to mid 1900's architecture. The two barns were milking barns in which I say that farm resembles Braders farm near the farm where I grew up. Obviously the large milking barn has German or Dutch accents. There is actually a German name for the barn which translates to Barn Over Barn in English. I used to speak fluid German until I went to grade school circa 1970. The brick barn would have held the more modern Milking equipment similar to what happened to our farm long before I was born in the late 1940's pasteurization and new sanitary standards were govt ordered in order to be able to sell milk and meats there had to be a place for that modern equipment. The reasons it is gone is the machines were nearly 100% stainless steel construction and worth mega money even as scrap.
Shes to eager to walk around a Building ready to Fall, I Grew up on a farm, That Barn is ready to fall, Be more careful, 1 Shake of the outside wall Board, and it will come down quick.
When you see tin siding like that started about 1940 became discontinued until well after the war so I am right in the heart when the modernization came about. Perhaps the farm provided meats and goods for WWII war efforts. A lot of what I am seeing dates to the 40's and all the way back to the mid 1700's as far as the lay out and well pump areas next to the buildings. Mostly the Dutch farmers did that some had wells indoors in the milking barns.
19: 20 take the wagon & make yourself a prime Gasser. Leave the glass out of it for speed. Lead Sled Sleeper at the drag track. They won't laugh after yor 1st run. 😎
Cars in creek. In my youth Indiana was plagued by old metal on every farm. Hundreds of miles away from any scrapyards. Farmers barely made enough to raise, clothe, feed, & shelter their families & provide for their livestock. Decades of this rythem sets in the mind & nothing is spent on cleaning up scrap piles of Steam Engine tractors ( the governments foolishness. Just like electric cars today. ) The farmer can't bare to part with one dollar towards hauling all this metal off to the scrap yard. Not even when the price of steel was so high from 2010 to 2013. Their money was already invested & in reserve for health problems & old age & purchase of equipment repairs & new equipment ( every 20 years ) . A wisemans journey. This is just their common mindset. There's not a thing wrong with it either. In the late '90s I thought I might inquire in helping some farmers haul off some metal. Maybe split the scrapyard payment or pay the farmer his asking price. I pondered this for a good many months & gave up because I didn't have enough, nor could borrow enough capital to buy nor rent myself a reliable tractor & truck with a sizeable flatbed & reliable v-8. ( plus repairs, fuel, ruetine maintenance ) There are just too many steep hills in Indian for such a prospect & I'd only be throwing money away & looked down upon by my relatives there & peers.
We are very careful. I've been doing this for years. I checked the rafters on the second floor while I was underneath. That's why we wouldn't walk any further into the barn and we stayed over that certain area. You definitely have to be careful though!
Trespassing is still a crime. Somebody, some family owns & pays taxes on this homestead. And you & Anybody should get permission before stepping foot on the grounds, droning, & posting pictures online. If your shear will gets in & out unsued - I'm in shock. They don't call it, " The Long Arm of the Law " for kicks. It may be days, weeks, months, or years. Well, passed 7 years I believe is coast is clear rule. Most land owners say no too avoid human safety lawsuits. Tearing down No Trespassing signs means very little vs recent digital picture references. Even the bank can set on a property for decades, awaiting school & business rezoning. Ask for permission 1st & always have this before hand.
We are definitely very careful and go over local laws. We never go on any property that is posted or has signs up. We have never once torn a sign down. Most of the places we go, if the house is still standing, the doors are wide open. It's amazing what we find left behind!
One was a 1959 Chevrolet Impala the wagon is a 55 or 56 Chevrolet the one with the engine in it was a 53 or 54 Chevrolet looking forward to seeing more of your explanation
Thanks for the info! That was very excited to find those cars. I know most of them weren't in the best condition but it was still pretty cool walking through them! Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video.
It's sad to see them just left to rot away Those cars have personality style and craftsmanship unlike the over priced crap that is being processed today
The wagon with a tree growing up thru it is like a 58,or 59 ford wagon, great video, as always a joy to watch, keep up the great work !!!
I should have tried to find pictures of those models when they were new and posted them in the video! I just now thought about it. Glad you are enjoying the videos!

@just around the bend. For some reason your thumb nail of the cars just drew me in! lol Is there a chance you could contact me about this site?
Enjoyed seeing that barn.so
That was the most amazing barn I have ever seen! I love the craftmanship of that era!
Old abandoned wrecks were placed along creek beds to keep them from eroding. '60 Buick LeSabre, 58 Plymouth, 58 Mercury wagon, '40's Plymouth or Dodge 4 dr sedan that I remember noticing. Fun video, thanks!
Wow! You are very knowledgeable on those years! I am decent on the late 60's up. It was a very cool find! Glad you liked the video!
also 59 chev sedans,a 60 ford sedan , still a lot of good parts..
The huge eyebrow looking tailfin four dour is 58-59 Impala I recognized several other Impalas of various years they are easy to spot because of to he very distinctive 3 round taillights or the crazy fins and sideways teardrop tail light lens. Also I have come to learn as was already mentioned that to the absolute horror of many of today's tree hugger environmental nuts old cars often still containing all kinds of toxic fluids were used as foundations within many kinds of different earthworks readily available easy to shape provided a great deal of erosion resistance compared to using only soil to construct a earthen berm or irrigation canal and a million more times cost effective than the use of reinforced concrete and to our fore fathers credit the environmental harm caused by a vehicle and it's toxic fluids being allowed to leach into the soil and ground water as the elements reclaim the manufacturered bits of a car overtime and it slowly disintegrates.

This was filmed in Southeast Nebraska. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment!
It was in Nebraska
@@whatsaroundthebend Thank you very much for the info, It helps me picture the location. I used to be a OTR tucker and would always notice places like this. Some states like AZ, NM they stand for a very long time. Other States they are gone in only a few years. Maybe 10 years in Ohio, WV.
It is a same about that barn. That one is worth saving.
That appears to be late 1700's to mid 1900's architecture. The two barns were milking barns in which I say that farm resembles Braders farm near the farm where I grew up. Obviously the large milking barn has German or Dutch accents. There is actually a German name for the barn which translates to Barn Over Barn in English. I used to speak fluid German until I went to grade school circa 1970. The brick barn would have held the more modern Milking equipment similar to what happened to our farm long before I was born in the late 1940's pasteurization and new sanitary standards were govt ordered in order to be able to sell milk and meats there had to be a place for that modern equipment. The reasons it is gone is the machines were nearly 100% stainless steel construction and worth mega money even as scrap.
Shes to eager to walk around a Building ready to Fall, I Grew up on a farm, That Barn is ready to fall, Be more careful, 1 Shake of the outside wall Board, and it will come down quick.
When you see tin siding like that started about 1940 became discontinued until well after the war so I am right in the heart when the modernization came about. Perhaps the farm provided meats and goods for WWII war efforts. A lot of what I am seeing dates to the 40's and all the way back to the mid 1700's as far as the lay out and well pump areas next to the buildings. Mostly the Dutch farmers did that some had wells indoors in the milking barns.
It makes me wonder what happened to the family and why nobody kept the property up. Thank you for the information and the comment!
1960 Buick
Looks like an old radio
I thought so too!

Sounds fun!
There's 59 Chevrolet there and I saw 58 Ford
That's a nice looking car in your thumbnail! Thanks for the info.
Why people leave their cars so unattended
I have no idea. I would imagine whoever own those cars passed away and they were just pushed there to make room for planting corn.
That building with the fold down door was a chicken coop.
Green car. By. Custom cab. Is. A 60 ford four. Door. My. Dream. Car. Red car. White. Roof. Is. 59 60. Buick. Straight six. 53. Or 54. Chevrolet
There are still quite a few good parts out there. I'm sure someone would pay a pretty penny for those cars even in the condition they are in!
Flood control old fashion way farmers used so soil would not erode.
1959 chevy
Cars in creek.
In my youth Indiana was plagued by old metal on every farm.
Hundreds of miles away from any scrapyards.
Farmers barely made enough to raise, clothe, feed, & shelter their families & provide for their livestock. Decades of this rythem sets in the mind & nothing is spent on cleaning up scrap piles of Steam Engine tractors ( the governments foolishness. Just like electric cars today. )
The farmer can't bare to part with one dollar towards hauling all this metal off to the scrap yard. Not even when the price of steel was so high from 2010 to 2013. Their money was already invested & in reserve for health problems & old age & purchase of equipment repairs & new equipment ( every 20 years ) . A wisemans journey.
This is just their common mindset.
There's not a thing wrong with it either.
In the late '90s I thought I might inquire in helping some farmers haul off some metal. Maybe split the scrapyard payment or pay the farmer his asking price.
I pondered this for a good many months & gave up because I didn't have enough, nor could borrow enough capital to buy nor rent myself a reliable tractor & truck with a sizeable flatbed & reliable v-8. ( plus repairs, fuel, ruetine maintenance )
There are just too many steep hills in Indian for such a prospect & I'd only be throwing money away & looked down upon by my relatives there & peers.
I love reading your comments. Thanks for taking the time to leave them,!
Correction, the car with the tree growing through it also looks like an old chevy.
The wagon is a ford. I was able to see Ford on the front when I got home and zoomed in really close.
Walking around the upper part of the barn and the old house is not the smartest thing to do. But it's not me so have at it.
We are very careful. I've been doing this for years. I checked the rafters on the second floor while I was underneath. That's why we wouldn't walk any further into the barn and we stayed over that certain area. You definitely have to be careful though!
Watch for rusty nails.
Doing construction work I have definitely had my fair share of nails in the foot. I'm definitely always watching for them.

That's what I have been told recently as well. I never knew that. Seems like it worked pretty well!
Old chevrolet
Trespassing is still a crime.
Somebody, some family owns & pays taxes on this homestead.
And you & Anybody should get permission before stepping foot on the grounds, droning, & posting pictures online.
If your shear will gets in & out unsued - I'm in shock.
They don't call it, " The Long Arm of the Law " for kicks.
It may be days, weeks, months, or years. Well, passed 7 years I believe is coast is clear rule.
Most land owners say no too avoid human safety lawsuits.
Tearing down No Trespassing signs means very little vs recent digital picture references.
Even the bank can set on a property for decades, awaiting school & business rezoning.
Ask for permission 1st & always have this before hand.
We are definitely very careful and go over local laws. We never go on any property that is posted or has signs up. We have never once torn a sign down. Most of the places we go, if the house is still standing, the doors are wide open. It's amazing what we find left behind!
One was a 1959 Chevrolet Impala the wagon is a 55 or 56 Chevrolet the one with the engine in it was a 53 or 54 Chevrolet looking forward to seeing more of your explanation
Thanks for the info! That was very excited to find those cars. I know most of them weren't in the best condition but it was still pretty cool walking through them! Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video.
The wagon is a 58 ford next to the 59 Chevy
It's sad to see them just left to rot away Those cars have personality style and craftsmanship unlike the over priced crap that is being processed today
