    its nice to see some of the videos of these old guys selling stuff then leave them just rot away like some other videos!!

      Yes , I have had most guys treat me well in their willingness to sell. I have only had a few telling me not for sale at any price. Thanks for watching my video. Rob

    That place was a goldmine. How awesome to see you find the Standard sign hidden in the weeds. I hope you go back. There might be anything hidden there.

    WOW 😲, this was a great treasure hunt. I loved every moment of it. It was like stepping into the past. As you video the cars, I was imagining who drove them. This was a great find. We were at a gas pump sale, and a gentleman had taken old front light grills from old model cars and converted into lighted wall art. The two big round lights lit up. It was super cool and he was selling them like crazy. They were from authentic old model cars. He would love this place. Thanks for sharing. Yeah!!

      I am glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you . I think what you mentioned about a front grill with headlights lit up hung on a wall sounds neat. What a great idea!

    Wow what another great find! Where are all the gas pumps?!?!

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Jeff, I am not finding many pumps this year. My trip is turning into a sign extravaganza!

  • @TheCrackerBox
    @TheCrackerBox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I collect old signs but there is no places like that where I live anymore I would love to have been there with you I could do that for days brother

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Michael, Thanks for watching my video and for your comment. Same goes for me. In California places like this do not exist anymore. I also like collecting signs but these days they have become too expensive. This was like a breath of fresh air being able to find original stuff first hand at a affordable price. Rob

  • @rongreen8485
    @rongreen8485 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm surprised that there is any metal laying around after the price of scrap was $400 a ton. Good eyes Rob.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I was also surprised to find this much scrap and also treasure!

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Peter! I might go back next year with spray stripper and check. I ran out of time and energy with many more miles to drive . Rob

  • @kimballamram552
    @kimballamram552 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Talk about some buried treasures. Tom Cotter from Hagerty would have a field day with all of those old cars.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Yes he probably would! Thanks for watching my video. Rob

  • @dannylaverton3213
    @dannylaverton3213 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’d be supprised if that porcelain sign with the paint over it wasn’t a Mobil gas sign like the cut up one you found 👍

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Next year if it is still there I will dig it out and bring some spray paint stripper and find out.

    @Tallguyinca 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome! I love to hunt collectibles from scrapyards or junkyards. What part of California was you in that scrapyards? I’m from Southern California. Great finds you got! The best one is Standard Service porcelain sign!!

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wish Southern California had such places. This was somewhere in central Nebraska.

    Ya missed the really rare one next to the 58 ford . That would be the 58 chevy delray ...

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for pointing this out! Yes I did miss that one!!!

  • @darkrose4704

    Can you find me a tailgate for a 46-56 ford pickup truck it don’t have to be in fantastic shape and I’ll pay for shipping of course

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will keep my eyes for one. Thanks for asking.

  • @puffm696
    @puffm696 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do scrap yards allow you to walk in and look around like this? Do you pay at the front to get in or?

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am glad you asked this question. No Most yards like this are closed to the public because of liability and insurance issues. It took me a while to get permission to enter these places .

  • @randybyars3179
    @randybyars3179 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    you should have picked up the case eagle emblem worth more than all them signs wtf

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I will ask about buying it next time. I am not an expert in all aspects of antique collecting . I am learning everyday.

  • @jagvette1
    @jagvette1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    if the owner was smart he sell each car $100 then at least they might live on and not just rot away.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching my video. He told me he has a plan and that he saved these from being scraped.

  • @TheCrackerBox
    @TheCrackerBox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Are you interested in selling any of the signs

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My plan is to keep them to decorate with . Thanks for asking. Rob
