From the Morning Press, 06 May 1957: Lancaster Marine dies in Coast auto crash: May 5: Marine Cpl. Kenneth C. Shanks, 20, from Lancaster, PA died Monday in a Hospital yesterday from injuries received in a one-car accident 14 miles north of here on the Death Valley Highway. Patrolman Paul Jorgensen said Shank was a passenger in a car driven by another Marine, Donald A. Fling, 21 of Denver Colorado, who was also injured. The vehicle ran off the road and plunged down a steep embankment. (end).

It's amazing how long abandoned cars last in the arid desert. In my country, where the rainy season begins every summer, in 20 years everything would have turned into a rotten mass of metal. My father told me the story of a relative man who was driving his new tanker truck on a mountain road 30 years ago when it fell off a cliff. Fortunately, he survived by clinging to a tree branch, and his tanker truck crashed down a cliff into the woods, making it impossible to save. (The tanker was empty and did not explode.) After that, the truck was never recovered and is probably still abandoned deep in the forest to this day. If I know the exact location where he got into the accident I'd love to find his truck!

There's a river up in western Maine which I camped alongside for years. One spring we were up there after a major flood stripped a lot of soil and trees on the opposite bank and there are a bunch of really old cars across the river. There were at least two Model Ts and a late 1920s Chevrolet, laying on their sides and upside down but pretty intact. There was also a mid-1950s Oldsmobile, crushed like it had been flipped, but the mint green paint was still shiny. I asked in town and it said the cars had been buried along the river bank as rip-rap to prevent erosion and been exposed by the recent flood. The next time I went back the cars weren't visible: maybe they added a new generation of clapped-out cars from the 1960s and 1970s as an update. (There were certainly enough available in backyards and behind barns up there!)

Really cool video, that 55 Chevy is in fact a 210 two door, it came with a 265 V-8 with 2 speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Not sure if it had the original engine or not, if it came with oil filter it would have been mounted on top and I could not see the return line. So if this is a replacement engine it would have the oil filter casting on the bottom of the engine starting the 56 year. Now GM had a lot of left over parts from 55 and did use them in some of the 56s including the motors. I could write a book an book you all. Now if a wreck has its wheels the inside lip of the wheel will have manufacturers mark and date, my 55 Chevy wheels are dated November 54, that's because it was made late 54 for the 55 year. I very much would like to recover that 55, I think it would be great to rebuild it into running condition but not touch its patina! I would really appreciate it if you could tell how to get there. The Marine who was killed was my Mother's age, she was born in 37 as well, my father was born in 34, they were of the same Generation.

Your 'second car' is a mid-1950s International Harvester half-ton pickup. The 'American hood' is from a 1959 Chevrolet in Aspen Green. The loose tailgate is from an '80s GMC pickup. Car # 4 is a 1956 Ford Customline in Diamond Blue. The Kenneth Shanks car is a 1950 Mercury Custom Fordor and its companion a 1953 Oldsmobile 88. They did not crash into each other. Each followed the same trajectory at different times. The upside-down car with the motor/trans still intact is a 1969 Dodge Dart. The Aspen Green '59 Chevy wagon was once connected to the matching hood you found earlier. The car between the Aspen and the Honda is (at best) a 1952 Dodge Coronet. Your 'i dunno what it is' is a Glenmist Green 1952 Ford Customline Tudor Sedan and the rusty seat is the Ford Crestmark front seat frame to the Glenmist '52. The car with the scrawling on the trunk is a 1971-1972 Oldsmobile 98 Regency. We found the Glenmist '52 Ford in 1966, on our very first trip to Death Valley.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

The upside down one looks to be a 65 dodge dart wagon, Unibody was the giveaway

[@RitzyTrailerII]

the upside-down one that he was trying to see into was a '67 Dodge Dart. Not sure of the body style.

[@formula112967]

And mopar-only torsion bars

[@ramblerdave1339]

Grille looks like 67 Dart

[@slicksnewonenow]

The first car is a 55 Chevrolet 210 Two door sedan. The first pickup is a late Fifties early Sixties International Harvester. The car Mr. Shanks wrecked is a 49 or 50 Mercury sedan, the car that's wrecked into the Mercury looks to be a 51-53 Oldsmobile sedan. The car that's upside down is a 1969-70 Dodge Dart sedan. The Chevy wagon is a 1959 model. The car on top of the 59 Chevy wagon is either a Dodge or a DeSoto, 1949-1952. The white car with the roof cut off looks like a 52-53 Ford two door sedan. The last one is what's left of a 67 Oldsmobile 98 sedan.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the info!

[@markmccabe934]

Spot them with good binoculars and Drones for close ups without climbing

[@reverserockettv007]

Good idea!

[@monarch1957]

The 2 cars at31:00 are a early 50's Mercury and Oldsmobile also from same era. Car # 4 was a 55 Ford 4 door.The mangled blue car is a 52-53 Ford at 41:20 the last blue 4 door car is a 67 Oldsmobile 98.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks!

[@johnnypaul5979]

You better watch out, that looked like Bigfoot doo doo.

[@leedaniels7196]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wyatttodd9033]

The Rat Fink on the car at 45.00 was absolutely perfect. Makes you wonder who would walk all the way down there just to draw a big ole' Rat Fink

[@reverserockettv007]

I will go check it out!

[@stacycollier6262]

He said if this car could talk it would say ouch

[@vineshparbhudayal792]

It's so unique that all these cars are there since they got crashed and what's really wondering me is how they found out one of these victims their name like Kenneth Shanks and that he died the same age as I am currently. Rest in Peace Kenneth Shanks

[@reverserockettv007]

I believe a family member put the memorial on the car. Thanks for commenting!

[@mosaclipz6549]

these cars were disposed of. People did it all the time in the 70s

[@zman92630]

I have to laugh, as I've ridden this road a hundred times and never knew about the history below the guard rail. Your secret is safe with me. ;-)

[@reverserockettv007]

🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@stevedeleon8775]

This WAS a 1955 Chevrolet BelAire 2 door

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the information!

[@raymendez5566]

The green station wagon is a 59 or 60 Chevy station wagon

[@BitterDemo]

The car that misjudged is a G. M. looks like a Pontiac, Malibu, Chevrolet or possibly a Buick.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the information!

[@panelman84]

It's a big "W", I tell ya, a big "W", 350 G's.🚛

[@markhenderson7624]

The car on the bottom is a 1950 Merc

[@ronaldhelmick-jy8pr]

Definitely a 55 grill not for sale I'm going to fix it up someday LOL

[@kurtisimowazzle]

I love the old guy “look at these nails” “look at this wood”

[@reverserockettv007]

🤭🤭🤭

[@daddyshovel7995]

55 Chevy then 62 international pu rattlesnake country the one at the bottom looks like Oldsmobile then the Ford LTD that went with the hood earlier

[@alexgerrits349]

You didn't do a very good job of keeping the location secret. I have never been to that part of my native state, but based on the other places you showed, I could drive right to it.

[@cassiestevens3414]

What?! You went on that fun adventure without me?! Invite your sis next time!

[@reverserockettv007]

Ok! 😁

[@weswhitlinger1706]

1955 - 1956 Ford. The car with the memorial sign on the side is a 1949 Merc.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks!

[@dathandurant1328]

The last one looks like an early model el Dorado

[@strvenoconnell4061]

I know where those old cars are, I've camped out there more than once.

[@strvenoconnell4061]

Stopped by the little market in trona to buy beer and food for camping

[@kenfarmer3266]

The one with the memorial looks like a Hudson hornet

[@barbaragravely920]

Its a mercury

[@barbaragravely920]

How ever ways to spell??

[@jonpeters2700]

I found it; you led me right to it. I've seen worse curves than that. Hard to believe that many cars went over.

[@reverserockettv007]

Did you look over the edge?

[@jonpeters2700]

@@reverserockettv007 I found it in the map using Google Maps and Street View. I found each landmark that you passed except the abandoned mine. I could only see what the street view on Google Maps recorded.

[@Trail_Trash]

The grade is fairly steep and those cars did not have the 4 wheel disc brakes all cars have now

[@CycolacFan]

Some will have just been dumped, pushed over the edge after mechanical failures. I suspect a lot of the damage has come from rock slides. Bodies would be removed from crashed cars and if possible the car recovered. That marine who died apparently got out of the car but died in hospital. I doubt anyone would want an engine badly enough to go to the trouble of removing it from a car on that hill so chances are those were just car bodyshells when they were shoved over.

[@746laurie]

I'm from the UK and we always say that American cars are useless going round bends, especially older models from the 50's, 60's and 70's 😊

[@exologythetreasurehunter7717]

i cant find kennith shanks anywhere online

[@reverserockettv007]

Yea some people are just not listed. I recently met someone who actually knew a family member who crashed on that hillside. They lost a arm and a leg!

[@dullahan7677]

What type of building is that at 4:12? Those two cubicles with the overhead extractors look like welding workstations.

[@reverserockettv007]

Yea. It’s a old mining operation I believe?

[@mikevetrano412]

IH, that's International Harvester. My guess.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks!

[@oldbugadventures]

I recognize that truck as a circa 1970 International, my uncle had one like it.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the info!

[@jonnybalz]

I think those cars were junked then thrown over the cliff. Many of them are missing engines and it would be impossible to remove them from the hillside

[@reverserockettv007]

Not all.. As you seen someone died there….
