Junk Yard sine 1954 and Never Scrapped Anything

Went on a road trip to Modoc Indiana yesterday. There is a junk yard with some very old stuff. He opened a shop across the road in 1954 and started the yard shortly after. He has sold some cars from here and all the rare stuff is gone or picked to death. I am guessing around 1000 cars but that is only a guess.

Modoc is a one horse town. Go to Modoc and hit 36. You can't miss it. There is nothing 61-72 Cutlass but I did not really go for that. It was worth the drive just to walk the yard. If only those cars could talk!
