A sign in the front reads The worlds oldest junkyard jungle, here 80 years.
There are old Fords, big-finned Cadillacs and even the rare 1941 Mack milk truck.
Visiting all of them will take you over six miles of walking.
They sold various items ranging from clothing to car parts, tires, and gasoline.
They bought junk cars, scrapped them and sold the parts.
By the late 1940s, the general store had turned into a full fledged auto salvage yard.
It was in this environment that Dean Lewis, the current owner of Old Car City, was born.
Dean spent his entire childhood playing with the cars.
One day he is on the racetrack, the next day he is a school bus driver.
I drove ‘em a million miles.
Never moved an inch!," he toldCBS News.
Cars and trucks was all he knew.
Dean decided that he would preserve the cars rather than scrap it.
Initially, Dean sold some scraps, but it wasnt the place where collectors could score a bargain.
Many visitors looking for parts left the place grumbling and dissatisfied.
But if you asked him, he would say Everything is for sale.
Dean doesnt say that any more.
Dean no longer sells parts.
They are now part of this fantastic museum.
