It's in northwestern Georgia, not far off of I-75. I could have spent all day, or multiple days really, looking around the 70 acres of 40s, 50s and 60s cars and trucks, rusting in a tall pine forest. There are numerous cars and trucks that were probably good builders back when they first were left in the woods. This has been on my bucket list to visit. Probably should be on yours as well. https://www.oldcarcityusa.com/ Pair of early 50s Cadillacs Pickup hauling a tree Falcon Ranchero Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator

But I had the realization that this place is not a failed junkyard, but rather a place where auto enthusiasts can visit and be amazed. Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator
