Who posted the junkyard video?
The video was posted to the YouTube channel What the Rust?.
Uploaded a year ago, it’s amassed more than 450,000 views and has attracted hundreds of comments.
The video is just one of thousands of intriguing videos posted to the platform, like this YouTuber who found a junkyard filled with legendary 2000s cars.
It’s not just cars that made great subject matter – this guy found the greatest military junkyard with an incredible collection of unique military vehicles.
Where is the junkyard located?
Early on in the video we find out where the junkyard is located.
The yard is actually called Lyon’s Vintage Junkyard and it’s in Loretto, Kentucky.
It must be a popular place, as the yard has its own Facebook page, with more than 6,000 followers.
As well as housing hundreds of classic cars, we find out another activity at the yard is berry picking.
What cars are at the junkyard?
The first car identified in the video is a classic VW Bug with old-style bumpers that’s notably intact.
Before long, the host stumbles across a 1963 Chevy Bel Air, noting its condition and the presence of rust in the truck.
But it’s a Buick with a torpedo back that catches his eye, due to its size and solid structure, although he’s uncertain of its identity, so invites viewers to share their knowledge.
Next up, the host checks out a a 1953 Chevy four-door sedan, examining its transmission and condition, then moves onto a Chevy flatbed and a 1949 Buick.
Like a kid in a candy store, the hosting struggles to focus his attention, as one after another, he stumbles across another classic.
Summarising the video
In the video, the host opens up about some health setbacks.
That doesn’t stop him from expressing his enthusiasm for future projects and the fascinating finds at the yard.
