Nice tromping around the woods seeing the old steel. But I'm getting too old for it. So going with you makes up for it! 😊. Days gone by but not forgotten

I grew up in New Brunswick and spent a ton of time in these old car graveyards. What a treat to see such a large gathering of them and so picked over too. Nothing went to waste thats for sure. Thanks for the tour 😊

Really enjoyed that explore, quite a few of those British cars you saw with the distinctive tail-light shape were MK2 Ford Zephyrs or Zodiacs.

Im from Northern Ireland and we still have places like this in the present day. I walk my dogs past cars that have sat in the same place since the 1970s In 1980 i can remember seeing a late 50s Vauxhall Cresta driving into a wood under its own power when it was dumped with a split screen morris minor.

I’m originally from Northern Ontario and we had these dump spots too , in 90’s it was where the teenagers would have their bush parties, any way live in NB these days, recently bought a 1978 Chrysler Cordoba from a farmers field, wife was none too happy about it but it gives me an opportunity to work on and learn more about the older stuff instead of working on the modern stuff with all the extra electronics and plastic and computer chips, not easy to find cheap parts since the old stuff is being crushed for scrap ; when people find them in the back of the property they just bought from an old farmer.

Across from you is Goose Bay Labrador where I lived 4 years on the US Air Force Base. We had "Goosemobiles", cars left by former military that were old, but in well kept condition, sold cheap to the new families assigned there. We had a '56 caddilac and I think a 50's Studebaker (the most dependable in the extreme cold). It was like Cuba cars! Your junk is the most stripped I've ever seen anywhere, just frames and sheetmetal. That tundra makes a good matress sometimes. Memories.

You'd have to go a long way here in Australia to find anything like this. Pretty well all the coastal areas have been cleaned up and all the old wrecks went to scrap decades ago. But if you go inland, there are still some areas with wrecks, but they are slowly being cleaned up for scrap as well.

The Coronet is a 1968 Coronet 440 hardtop. If it has the small differential it was a /6. The wagon with the welded tailgate is a 59 Plymouth. The black Dodge two sedan is a 60. The first Valiant is 65 Custom 200. The blue wagon is a 66 Coronet 440 model....you can tell by the mid body side moulding and the fastener. Very Enjoyable !
