100% Synthetic lubricants produced by Amsoil is really cheap insurance. From my 1956 Chevrolets (All of them) to our daily drivers, Amsoil keeps them properly lubricated, running cool and well protected. A long time customer since 1989, I became a dealer because my dealer moved south and I haven’t looked back. Confidence is high when Amsoil is on board!
High in the Rockies in Como, Colorado (About 10,000 feet above sea level) there is a private collection of post WWII through the 1960's of hundreds of patina covered, virtually rot free cars and trucks awaiting love from new owners. Amanda's late husband Jim started collecting them from friends and neighbors in the Fairplay, Colorado area at just 14 years old. He even had the for site to group most of them by makes!
Alphabetically he collected Chryslers (MOPAR), DeSoto's, Fords, General Motors in all varieties, Internationals, Nash (American Motors), Studebakers (Trucks and cars) and lets not forget a cluster of VW Beetles.
Amanda knows how Jim loved his collection and she wants them all to go to good homes. Yes, they are ALL For Sale! There's an entrance fee to view the collection in person with a signed liability waiver. If you buy a vehicle you get the entrance fee back.

Renault Duaphine there too. Those are popular as a cult car today. I had one when I was serving my Apprenticeship almost 50 years ago. I see some really ineresting Fords there like the two door Falcon wagon. And it's such pretty country. At 10,000 feet it's no wonder you were puffing !.

Greetings from Germany! I like the Beetles :) and the Pontiacs for sure. I'd freak out, if ther would be a 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire. I'd pick up the wagons. They are so awesome. The details in the 1960s are so great. So much love in the design.

Awww c'mon, you're never too old for this hobby! You just work at your own pace. If you work just a little one day, or skip days, the vehicle will still be there waiting for you. I'm retired, in my 60's, disabled vet, some days I feel like working on projects, some days I don't. I have no time-line, I'll get the vehicle done when I'm done.

I visited a "vehicle rehabilitation" yard in South Dakota that was very organized. If you were looking for a particular make and year vehicle, the owner took you to the area where all that particular make and year vehicles were parked, and looking to be adopted. The 57 Chevy's were all together. The 53 Packards were all in another area. This outdoor facility was the most fun place to see every vehicle neatly parked next to each other. Every vehicle interior was accessible where all vehicle doors open wide - all the way. The vehicles were not jammed together where you couldn't open all the doors. I have visited hundreds of junk yards throughout the country, but NEVER saw one this organized and neatly groomed. No high grass or weeds.

[@seangill7985]

Great find! Good video content! Thanks for the location information! Just a couple video suggestions: try not to move or pan the camera/phone much when you are zoomed in. Only use the zoom for still video or VERY slow movements left/right/up/down. Don't zoom in on details like hood ornaments, just move the camera closer to the object. Any little movements when zoomed in makes the video VERY bouncy and hard to follow or see those close up details. Good luck and thanks again for passing on the info for this great treasure chest of old iron!
