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.
Loved this video, his outlook on the world today right on target.
Sadly, those old car yards are rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
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 !!!!!
My first dozen or so cars were all pre-70's. This is an interesting video for me to watch. I never saw a "Texas Country Reporter" video that I didn't enjoy.
This is a very important job, I raised 5 sons on a salvage yard. Now there is the oldest one still working at a salvage yard.
Very interesting video!!!
Mel, YOU sure do have some good "stuff"! I remember many years ago ! Cars in BE, NC.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I see beauty, passion, Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness ... God Bless America.
Right up my alley brother.....Thanks Mel
Great story from a Great era of Great cars.
Wonderful! I wish I would of kept my '55 Ford!
