My very favorite vintage car resting place of all time. I have been here numerous times from 1986 to 2015. The yard has been run by four generations of the family that own the yard since 1925. The yard is in Milford, Ontario, Canada and is so far off the beaten track that it is almost impossible to find. The oldest cars in the yard are from the 1920's,the newest cars are from the 1970's with a few from the 80's. The vast majority of cars are from the 1950's, with the 1960's coming second. It is so obvious in looking at most of the cars there from the 1950's to the 1970's, that the cars were in fairly good condition when they came into the yard. Collision damage or mechanical failures of some sort brought these cars in. It is such a shame that these cars were allowed to rot. Obviously many cars were used for parts over the years. It is so easy to spend an entire day there and I have gone so many times on my own, twice with my gal and I have loved it every time. Over the years I have bought many parts from there, including a complete 1957 Pontiac 261 inline six motor for an extra. Sadly all these cars were scraped a few years ago by the family because they got tired of running it and the price of scrap metal was high at the time. I am thankful that I have many photo memories of this amazing vintage car yard. Cheers.

That 58 Olds 88 sedan brought back memories. My grandfather had one and he allowed me to drive it to school and work. All I needed to do was keep the tank full in case he needed it. Well that Olds did drink gas. The best part was the fuel filler cap being in front of the taillight you'd flip open and there was the cap.
God rest and bless my grandfather for all he did for me. He made sure I had money for school lunches and a car to use to get to school and work.
He tried to make up for my real Dad's abandonment even before I was born. Like the Temptations sang in the song: "Papa was a rolling stone". The line is 'all he ever left us was ALONE'.
God had my grandfather there to fill his place. AMEN..........and AMEN.........
