Please. No more videos from this collection. My heart cant take it. I still haven't come down from the High I had from the last video. Great job.

That 64 Mercury park Lane marauder is a rare car 1 of 1. I've never seen a 4 door with a 4 speed.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Me either!

[@samrumade9429]

Local guy has a 2 door,black on black. 390 4 speed.all original. He also has several other unusual Ford,Mercury cars. One that comes to mind is a XR 7 390 4 speed cougar.

It's a Mercury Park Lane Maurader. Maurader is the high performance package.

Matador was an American Motors product 🇺🇸🤡

If that were me I would spend the entire day getting lost in such a place. So many interesting and worthwhile cars to see and hear about!!!!!.

[@gilbertnowak5770]

My Dad had one of those Rare 59 LaBarons back in 1968. It was so rusted we took out the entire driveline and put it into a 56 Ford F100. It was the Fastest Vehicle in Green Bay Wisconsin for several years. It ATE 409 Impalas for lunch!

[@pneumatic00]

Certainly one of the most unified collections ever seen. Bring back the 60's!

[@austx290]

59 Imperial....One of my favorites!

[@IowaClassicCars]

im not a mopar guy but i like these!

[@austx290]

@@IowaClassicCars Same here. I have all GM and one Lincoln (1959) but there's something about the 59 Imperial.

[@petervitti9]

Excellent episode! I was a little kid when these cars were on the road . We had a 1962 ford ranch wagon. I would love to know the personal stories of these cars. Funny thing is the 1960 dodge darts (not polara or matador) were so common. Again great tour.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks Pete

[@cambo1200]

Wow. A really good collector. He has a great eye for classic cars. And it seems to me that any make of car that's out there to purchase he wants it. This is truly a collector of cars. 👍

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Michael - I hope he is a seller too. I have no issues whatsoever to his collection, but sell when offers come in. You can't restore, repair, rejuvenate all of them - plus the fun is the hunt. Sell and pass these great condition cars to those that want to put them back on the road. Chuck in NE Kansas

Lol good luck buying it!

[@2001rams]

Once again a fantastic group of cars, especially the ones with rare bucket seats. Like the 64 Mercury, it is always interesting to find a car that the factory said they would not build and then turn around and make it anyway. I could spend all day looking at videos such as this. So many videos are of cars that were great but now are so far gone to restore or even be good parts cars. It is plain sad that so many cars have been left to sit in the elements too long. This group of cars are not only complete but very restorable. Thanks.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man

[@normanhopfensperger4343]

Wow, what an awesome collection of AMERICAN HISTORY 👏

[@skrachvynl]

That 1966 Buick Wildcat!! It's sitting across from the Century wagon, my dad had one back in the day, I know it when I see it. Would have been great to do a walk around of that one, but all the cars in the video are cool. 👍

[@mexicanspec]

I have a '65 Wildcat convertible in the back yard. Even though it has a rebuilt 401, it needs everything else. I will get to it soon.

[@daveallen8824]

Wrong on the Olds -V8 was available in the 88 as well - it was quite a hot rod.

[@reginaldfitzpatrick8681]

Correct. 1948 was the first year the 303 was available in the 98. Oldsmobile then in 1949 offered it in the smaller 76 body and the Rocket 88 was then born. The first true muscle car.

[@toddburgess6792]

Ah, the olden days of ordering the car you wanted. My dad ordered a 71 Bonneville 4dr sedan with all the bells and whistles, 455 2bbl. He had to fight them on the 2bbl because he thought it would give him better gas mileage. He was very wrong, but his car was rare in that misguided way.

[@Jasona1976]

What a grand luxury car the Imperial was. Sad to see it in such decay.

[@gerardhiggins1]

I just love that collection, especially the Mercury 1 of 1. I understand why you love the Chevy's so much, I do as well. It's also nice to see you mix in some other brands. Love your videos.

Also if they where run ning build classic car lot !! ???

[@frankwalton7323]

I hope that appreciation grows for these cars so they can be cared for and put back on the road. I worry because most people are willing to accept inferior choices these days in movie music books and in products that are, more often than not, ugly..The two Mercury's are my favorites here but it was a difficult choice. Take care of and save these cars!

[@chevyracer5091]

Boy that Olds 98 I think he said 49 What nice car!

[@garyruark9506]

That 1960 Buick is maybe the only one of its kind. The Imperial is a desirable car because it has AC and is a landau. Olds is terrific. 2 door fastback sedan (sedanette) and very early OHV V8. 1950's and early 1960's station wagons turn me on! They are so rare. OMG a 1972 Mavrick! 1957 GM Olds, Buick and Cadillac 4 door hardtops are so weird because of 3 piece rear window which was in the day seen as a step back in styling but today are cool.

[@keithoneil6711]

Very beautiful amazing perfect looking cars just love them all amazing looks thanks friend have a very nice day

[@larrybest9701]

Cool that you find all these neat car collections, but these guys have so many of them, seems like they never get around to restoring any of them.

I spotted that '66 Buick LeSabre in that bunch. I know this is a Chevy channel, but I just wondered if any of you car guys might know the answer: my grandpa had a 1965 LeSabre, 4 door. I just wonderef if they made a 4 door Wildcat. I swear I can remember the emblems on the rear quarters. I also seem to remember when he had the hood up that it had 2 carburetors. I was only between 5 and 10 years old, but from what I remember that car really moved. Great memories.

[@rickloera9468]

This guy has some gold in his lot. The Polara sedan is not as rare as the Matador, but. The Polara has factory A/C and full factory tint which is rare as hens teeth for 1960. Also if you look at the top of the fins on the Polara it has the rare lights built into the tail fin which the Matador does not have. Again this guy has some beautiful cars and great stories that go along with them which usually get lost to history.

[@finfan83]

OMG teh Buickeh with bucketeh ! Shock ! And an Imperial with power vents ordered, seen that in brochure, but not on an actual car. And I'm confused now. Thought the "washboards" were standard on Polaras and optional on Matadors. Now we see here a Matador with the option purchased, but a Polara which is bare of it !

according to local Mercury dealer when I had it, had 1 of 1 Colony Park wagon with 406 engine, 4 speed, posi, HD suspension, full power, a/c, red leather bucket seat interior with console. Bought in the late '70's for $15 in perfect condition other than needing detail with 19,000 miles on it from original owner/wife. Didn't keep long, suspension to stiff unless towing their 30+ foot long Silver Streak, wagon had massive equalizer hitch under it. The wife said ride was smooth with trailer, that was the wagons only use. In the video's would like to see the '58 DeSoto, 57 Dodge.
