Nelson Nevada, A Ghost Town Full Of Old Cars And History

thanks, so basically I'm going to start from the furthest point here and walk around the whole place and try to get a good look at everything. It's a very, very interesting place, so let's start with this bus. It was really cool, there's an old uh. teardrop camper I would love to have Comet Mobile Homes Coffeyville Kansas here is another one of those big house buses that is really impressive old pile of garbage we have to watch out for the rattlesnakes. I'm being a little careless, they said they would catch about 20 a day. year here, very interesting, here is another small teardrop shaped part of the hills camp.

Nice 1938 Utah license plates, as cool as they look. This is a straight axle Dodge, a small pickup truck with leaf suspension and some chains. Today we are in Paradise. Look. on this goat skull Boulder City Fire Department Boulder City is just outside of Las Vegas, we actually drove through there to get here. This is a very nice and well preserved machine. Coca-Cola cooler. There's an old tanker truck that looks like a Chicago engine and then. It also says Wyoming, so this thing has seen some things that look like the International Harvester logo on the front. You would never expect to see things like this in such good condition, it's just an old Dodge school bus, wow!

It is a privilege to be here. An old fuel or gasoline pump. I guess it would be called 29 cents per gallon. They don't even have a dollar. A place to put a dollar. There is another old bus. Another International Metro, hey, six in a row, still here. this thing is so cool wow another one of those service vans this is cool how big is this thing big old GMC 750 says diesel everything is in amazing condition no graffiti no broken glass no junk you never see because it's all here, look at this. this looks like another Chevy maybe I'm not very good with this era of Chrysler vehicles some glass you can't get Time Capsule Paradise this looks like a Mad Max platform it has a 1951 license plate this is cool this is an old Ford amazing old Buick this is another Buick Buick made the three little circles on the fender which I still don't know if they do today but they were doing it up until five or ten years ago this is a Volkswagen bus converted into a camper which I know I keep saying the best it can be but this is the best it can be again with a Volkswagen, a cool beetle roof look how cool that is, we have to keep moving, we have all kinds of things to see, this is an old Volkswagen bus and an amazing Baja Bug shape with a roof cut.

Look, in our last video we found a cool Baja Bug in the desert, now we find more bugs in the desert, perfect little

cars

, absolutely amazing, so we have some planes on the way. Up here is another double decker bus, what is this, where does it come from and why was it created? It's like the 70s era caravan conversion days, obviously much older than a 70s vehicle, but Chevrolet 3800, another old international bus, what an impressive sight this is. Might have to be our miniature right here, this is an old Ford, all original, it had something written on the side, but it's been here forever, a little camper behind it still has some interior, this old truck with metal rims and wooden wheels that is absolute

history

right there.

Well, this is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. This was in the air in the war, most likely at some point. I don't know anything about it, so I'm not going to say anything, but it's absolutely stunning, to be honest, amazing, imagine. the feeling these guys had back then jumping into this seat knowing they were going to fight and here we are today in 2022 just looking at the cabin heater control I mean you saw labels on these buttons here this is just mind blowing , I might watch To be honest, I'll stick with this for the rest of the day, but I know I have to keep moving forward.

I think this was a movie set in a time, at least going off from what I read online. I guess it's just remnants of old jet engines left, huh? jet engines look how complex this was wires and cables everywhere for all the ailerons and flaps and stuff there's an old star on this side there's an old fire hose reel I mean it's getting to the point where there are so many things we just have to start passing things there's an old oven Majestic Majestic oven or stove sorry, here's an old car manual Trends with a straight six, this is a pretty amazing airplane engine, probably from one of those old ones warbirds so the cylinders have this circular shape here unlike car engines this looks like an old crane or something it's like the Jeepers Creepers GMC platform yeah they had a little generator in the back to do whatever this thing was doing, so the Colorado River that feeds Lake Mead is right at the bottom of the hill down there.

It's about five I think we're about five miles from the Lake Mead National Park area, so there's a really cool old Dodge, as always, that's the best part of the desert. Surface rust from 1956. Tow Mater International, many internationals here watch. in this old building like this, you know what I mean, these are things you just walk by, but I can't tell you how long it's been since I saw a wooden wheel in person, the curtains falling, how? you have so many cool things in one place, look how perfect this car is, it has air in the tires, it's still an old chevy sedan time capsule, maybe this passed by here a long time ago and they just left it and flew to house, they needed a motor or something you never know, amazing, it hasn't been touched, no dings, no scratches, just some old putty and sun damage, more of those platforms we saw there.

I don't know exactly what these nice pieces are, although this thing does have an air conditioning unit. On top of the California plates, I had no idea this place was so cool. I passed it probably hundreds of times to get to a place called Nelson's Landing, but it never stops. Suicide doors. All of these

cars

are so complete that I just want to take them home. and work on the bodywork and make them beautiful again, it's easy to say until you've been on the project for 10 years. International platform agricultural truck with GVW 24,000. How great it would be to start operating in these conditions!

Put some tires on it, another Big Ford. Bus, General Motors bus, yeah, this thing has like a sink and stuff, so I imagine around the '70s people would probably buy these old buses and turn them into Little Campers and come here and it would break down and they would just I would leave behind, yes, these. they all have little kitchens and beds and things in them look at this Metropolitan they both say Metropolitan on them this is a convertible one could have a removable top I don't know probably not I actually know that tops look permanent beautiful cars everywhere General Store The building has a good inclination.

Another 1944 international license plate on this Coca-Cola truck. I didn't know something could be so cool. Wow, there's a Coca-Cola freezer in the back. Old Town Bottling Company, get out of here. Check it out. Bottled Coca-Cola, another Chevrolet, this place makes you feel like these cars are a dozen diamonds and they are not at all easy to find in this form TV sales and service center, the phone number was only five digits otherwise I'm wrong. As for that, everything here just has the original dash, seats and original tires, literally parked and untouched. I don't know, I can't understand that Chevy 3100, this says that the Old Navy supply company known around the world is that. like Old Navy clothing, this has Oregon plates 72.

How cool that they left the 1972 plates. Chevrolet 8200, nice truck here, still has the engine, looks like a winding area, you have to be careful, it's a four cylinder, this is brilliant. this is a Ford stamped on the running board, the wood roof is still there, wow, how strange the rear axle looks, the leaf spring goes that direction, there's another old one there, platform, well, we're back here, to the On the other hand, another Ford school bus. that one actually says school bus it's very small but it took kids to school a long time ago Fairbanks Morse made in USA there's an old stove here another old Chevrolet here another flatbed Chevy they're close together Coupe engine still on are spark plugs and all original Champion spark plugs there's an old water wagon that looks like a little water truck a Ford what an amazing thing to look at another one of those little Metropolitan cars 1927 license plate old candy machine old coke machine another GE refrigerator there old pickup truck Dodge Elvis caddy what's that a pink 59 and everything with a camper it's a teardrop OG these are popular again obviously they're not made of wood like that but a lot of different materials are used nowadays Fleet line that's that Chevy I guess sit down with another one of these truck-looking Jeeps, license plate 1979.

I'm glad a lot of people enjoy this place. There are many people here walking. Look, an old tiller or something we're about to finish. It is so cool. All of the workmanship on the piano ensured the best established piano from 1878, made in Chicago, which might be my favorite piece here. Another old piano sitting in the sun. It also says Chicago. Probably the same older motel sign. I'll probably see it as an old fire truck someday. Maybe I don't know what there is. There's another sedan down there with a bunch of valve covers next to it, there's another sedan, this one is pretty well braced, so we've got the engine, it looks like it was fast, an old Pepsi store, this one was diesel, another nice sedan here . a few more trucks in this area General Motors International has an old panel truck here.

I think we found the oldest school bus on school property that is still on it. Foreign school friend, are you kidding me? This is an old high school bus. I feel like that's not even real I should be looking at this it blows my mind another couple of old cars down here I mean you can easily miss things here these are all old uh very old Tonka toys probably from the 70's most of them are all metal there's seven ounce machine 10 cents alien thank you um of course okay there's a food truck here. I'm going to go see and have some lunch.

It was a great moment. I have never seen so much

history
