  • CharMaine Added I bet Bob gets to speak and work with all kinds of people from all over the country (maybe the world) as they look for replacement parts while doing a re-build. I would imagine he has some pretty cool stories from over the years. Indeed, holding on to a time when life was so much better than the whack-a-doodles out there today holding the attention span of gnat. Thanks for the adventure, Mel.
  • Larry Added Loved this video, his outlook on the world today right on target.
  • iotus2 Added Sadly, those old car yards are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
  • CHARLIE G. Added GROWING UP IN WESTERN PA. IN THE 50'S & 60S THERE WERE SALVAGE YARDS LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE - THEN CITY PEOPLE STARTED MOVING IN AND THE PUSHED FOR ZONING LAWS THAT MADE RUNNING ONE OF THESE "AMERICAN TREASUERS " IMPOSSIBLE !!!
    THANKS MEL , FOR 6 MINUETS OF TRANQUILTY !!!!!
