I just viewed the first U tube. So far I didn't see any Model T's. However, it reminded me of what might come in the future if the internet, power grid, and other modern things go down. Some day the surviving people will marvel at the old vehicles and remains of highways and railroads etc and wonder how they ran these things without any horses or oxen! It will be kind of like when we find pyramids and old ruins from past ages and wonder how they were built and what they were used for.
I plan to view the others later and might make some more comments then.

Thanks, Steven, for getting my heart started this morning. This is what I hoped to see when I mis-read ...White, GA. I was ready to tell how the first one I saw as a boy mesmerized me. You saved us all that time. :lol:

I looked at much of the video and it is a delightful setting for all that iron. It's a magical place of its own even if it is later stuff.
Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy it.
Rich
When did I do that?

LOL, Rich -
I had the same thoughts when I saw "White GA".

Being old enough to remember when the cars in the video were new and remembering the low regard I held them even then, now I just think "crush them". The cars are not for sale, they are being sacrificed to the elements.

Those Gremlins are now over half a century old.

I saw the other two videos. He went by so fast that I didn't even know which car he was talking about! These were all new during my lifetime except for maybe one or two. It is a shame because there are some of those cars of interest to collectors and restorers today. They could either restore one or get some good parts, but instead, they just rust away.

Back in the early-mid 1970s my Dad got a lot of parts from an old man in White, GA for the ‘41 Ford coupe and convertible we were restoring.
