This is a collection in the California desert. All I can say, is that they're all in very dry storage and some day there will be a huge additional supply of cars going back into circulation. And lots of purple glass in the making for Burger.

Kinda brings tears to my eyes.

Been there on a tour. It is located on the California side of the state line across the river from Yuma, Arizona. Good for a winter or early spring tour, but VERY hot this time of year. They have the best cars inside the building and the others outside.

It really is quite a place.

Years ago, I was working at Yuma Proving Grounds supporting M119A Digitization program and was there for weeks on end (in July!). I happened to mention that I was an old car guy and was looking for ANYTHING to do on the weekends and I was introduced to the head civilian Crew Chief in the maintenance pool, a guy named "Red". He insisted on my going there and gave me Johnny's personal number. Neither of us knew he was on his honeymoon at the time but after a couple of weeks he listened to my recorded message and invited me to a private tour. What a delight! He's an interesting and very cordial guy who gave us the rundown on nearly every vehicle inside the buildings as well as a number of "newer" items outside. One shed was FULL of speedometers and the dusty soil/floor had parts of cables and chain pieces literally boiling up out of the dirt if you were to scuff your foot too hard. It's just a remarkable place and I was fortunate and honored to have spent so much time getting the personal tour that I did.

You will not regret stopping in when it is open.

It's great to see those. WOW!
Thanks

Jonny Clouds place. He works on making them all run almost daily. You couldn’t meet a nicer person if you tried.

I want to know the backstory on this place, and this guy, and how he amassed so many cars.

His website tells some of the story:
