Hudson's Classic Car Junkyard in Forest City, NC: Part 2

We stop in to visit Tim Hudson in Western North Carolina (Forest City) and check out a few old classic cars he has relocated on the other side of the road. AMC Pacers, early Dodge Darts and a Lancer, 60's Imperial, 50's Mercury, 50's Suburban, to name a few. Check out Part 1 of Hudson's Cars too.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

she seems to like the old wagons for sure lots of nice projects for sure

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Drew. Too many potential projects and not enough time and money. You wouldn't understand that would you? Lol.

[@AmericanCoinHunting]

Thanks for another tour Jerry . I was getting to feel sorry for Tena .

[@indyme2]

Thanks for watching, Dave. Tena will get over not having all those cars when she starts back on a rust mobile.

[@chadcurry5585]

Nice antiques! Got to love those old classic cars! Very nice!

[@indyme2]

Thanks for watching, Chad.

[@chadcurry5585]

+indyme2 Your welcome! Merry christmas!

[@tillivanilli6481]

Congratulations to Tim Hudson, that he save those cool classics, especially the 4 Doors & 4 Door Hardtops!! Because i love the most 4 Door Hardtop classic cars, i think nothing is sooo elegant, stylish & sporty too in body style... :) I think it´s tooo often the problem, that the people didn´t sas, or see the beauty of those cars. in most times they saved 2 doors or parting out 4 doors to save 2 doors... And I think when you look at old cool tv shows or else, back in the days the streets was full of 4 door cars. Today this is exactly the different. most times you see 2 doors.. :(

[@indyme2]

I am glad Tim saved some of these cars too. He has a 4 door hardtop Corvair and a 59 or 60 Buick 4 door hardtop as I recall, in his personal collection. I think I even saw a nice 4 door hardtop 68 Bonneville or Catalina last time I was there. Tena wanted to buy that one, lol. Thanks for watching, Tilli Vanilli.

[@tillivanilli6481]

@@indyme2 Ohh, all that cars you told about are so beautiful! :) A `68 Pontiac Bonneville 4Dr Hardtop, that is the most amazingly car for my taste of those cars you told me about I think BUT! It´s funny but I like especialy the Chevy Corvair! And when it is the 2nd Generation what was built from 65, that is the car what i likes very very much :) If this is also a 4dr hardtop, WOOOW! I also think it´s nice that the Corvair isn´t a so expensive car. It´´s very different and I know that Ralph Naders "unsave at any speed" was not correct, not for a Corvair in 2nd Gen.! If a "Ralph Nader" from those days will write a book "Unsafe at any speed", then ALL Eclectric cars will be the biggest problem, and many many modern cars will have problems with their safety! When you look a Video of the Ford Motor Company, what was done in the 70s, and they had Airbag, then a german will see that the most things about safety was different. and german cars from the 70s or from today, eypecially VW Proucts wasn´t & aren´t so safe than those US cars from the 70s! ;) I really wondered, that they had Airbags and a crumple zone in the 70s! And the passenger cell was complete stabil, crazy, in the 70s! Because all the cars withaout the "Body-at-Frame"" Construction what was built in Europe, and also in the US in the yeras from 80-2000s had the big problems with a collapsing passenger cell! And this is very very unsafe! So it´s very interesting so see, that the US cars with "Body-at-Frame" of the 70s was a lot better than the most cars till the 2000s O:

[@indyme2]

@@tillivanilli6481 I'm with you. I actually liked the 1st gen Corvair's. My friend had a Spyder and we ran the crap out of it. Fun car and never unstable. Body on frame cars are like tanks and just as tough. You know your cars, buddy!

Man oh man.... The memories.. I had several of those cars in my life... I had a Pacer, and a 1968 Pontiac Firebird... I had a Girl fried that had a Dodge Coronet... My Grandma Had a 55 Chevy and a 1973 Dodge dart.... See now ya did it... You got me to thinking and remembering all the good times I had... You know my Mom always said..... "That they just don't build them like they used too..." I am beginning to understand ..... NOW !!! Haha!! Thanks, Jerry...

[@indyme2]

Your Mama is right. No style in today's cars. I could hang out for days in junk yards. Want everything I see. Thanks for watching, Wild Bill. What's cooking?

[@jerrypolk5909]

Thanks for another junk yard trip. It gets the mine working, think what a sleeper some of the odd ball models would make. I liked the panel truck in the background behind Tena's suburban. I used an old 50 something Dodge panel truck that we got running to haul our motorcross bikes around in, back in the day. It had a flathead six with three on the tree. Tell Tena I would help her with her car but I live the next state over. Keep the videos coming.

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Jerry. I overlooked that panel as I was in a hurry and running out of tape. I actually noticed it when I was editing and started to kick my butt for not taking a look at it. Tena says no problem. You can drive here on the weekends. Lol. Thanks for watching and another story.

Willys not Willis. The coupe de ville caddy was a 64-65 not a 60. And the Pontiac Tempest V4 you mention doesnt and didnt exist. A slant inline 4 that was half of the 389 v8.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Say when you are looking at that 51 Suburban if you look down the hill there's a truck there. It looks like an International but what is on the back of it. Looks like windows all down the side of it, is it a camper? When you panned on the other side of it at the end of the vid the passenger side didn't have any windows. Good vid. Thanks four4 the tour.

I'm not sure what that is. It looks like some kind of camper to me. We are headed back that way in about a month to pick up some parts. I'll take a closer look at it if my crs mind remembers.
