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

This stuff was old when I was young, and I’m 72.

I’m watching this from the United Kingdom and I find it equally amazing that no one has stolen any of that stuff as antiques and tried to fix them up to sell or keep for themselves

I lived in Nelson and went to elementary school there a long, long time ago; 1 of a total of 5 students. The Twin Gables Bar (and small grocery store) had the only TV and telephone in town, so as a young child I spent a lot of time at the local bar. There were quite a few characters who lived in Nelson at that time; it was a great and unique experience.

Thank you for taking the time that you did. I'm 79 and I used to see this stuff on the roads, and even owned some very similar pieces ( family did ).

The aircraft is a T-28B which was a trainer aircraft. I maintained five of these during my time with VA-122 ,at NAS Lemoore, CA. Back in the early 70's. It's a 2 seater fore and aft cockpit. Big radial engine and a two stage blower. Loved flying in those! Still quite a few around.

Thank you for the tour Remote Trooper. Also for being so respectful of each and every treasure!

As an european ,i am looking with an envy at this gorgeous pice of museum cars .Great content .Thank you !

This is the coolest thing I think I've ever seen. I cant believe this place exists with all these cool vehicles. So many of them would be awesome to own.

Seeing all of those cars makes me cry a little. I'd love to go down there and bring one home. That VW van, pulling the converted VW van with a bug top was amazing.

I grew up in Vegas in the '60's-'70's and with a group of other art students we used to go to interesting places to paint. Nelson at that time wasn't much just an old mining camp with a few rusty cars a few buildings and assorted mining relics. Amazing to see all the cars and busses that that guy has collected. thanks for the tour.

This is something else! This ticks so many boxes/genres Vintage, Antique, Classic, Retro the list goes on. Nelson Nevada is definitely one for the bucket list! Petrolhead heaven🤪😍

Those two trucks were Willys overland truck’s about 1953 or so. Cool place to visit. I must go there someday. I love to see old stuff preserved in this manner. The natural patina is so beautiful.

I am right around that generation time, that blew my mind, the days when things were built to last. I'm glad someone has preserved some of it.

What a cool place. I love the old vehicles. My favorites were the bus/campers. If you could afford to buy gas for it, the big one would make a great home away from home. Thanks for showing us Nelson.

At 72 years young, I remember when most of these vehicles and items were being used. My Uncle owned the same IH for over 60 years. I really enjoyed the walk down memory lane. Thanks!

Oh, thank you so much for Showing Us ALL of those Awesome "OLDIES".... They are a real treat to see and what wonderful conditions they are still in. In Our Country you wouldn't find anything like that.... it would be stolen for Scrap. Thank You for the walk around, it was really wonderful seeing some of those "REAL" Oldies.. I recognise some of the Make's and shapes, but what Blew me was the tires looked so New. My Dad loved the "REAL STEEL" those you could take a hammer too and it wouldnt even have a ding. He Had a 1930 Reserve Bank of SA Truck (without the Armoured Back that was removed because of All the Codes, Stamp's Identity, that part wasnt to be sold - crazy), which he bought a ARMY Truck Back Section and He lovingly worked on it until He passed in 1989. We sold it to some interested folks, they wanted to bring a tow truck to remove it from the back of Our House, I told the buyer's that all they needed, was a 6 Volt Battery and Regular Gasoline. Naturally they didn't believe me "What does a Woman know about Vehicles"... convinced them after a lot of Oh ALRIGHT... they put the Gas and Battery In.. turned the key..... and they couldn't hear anything.... Reaction was - SEE WE TOLD YOU!!!!! I had such a Giggle at their Expense... Because the Truck was actually Running, so quietly, they couldn't believe their Ears...... GUESS WHO SAT WITH THE RED FACES..... I don't know if the Truck is still around, but if they would have looked after it the way My Awesome Dad Did.... it would still be Running and worth a Fortune...... It would be around 92 years Old now. THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME WALKABOUT SHOWING ALL THE "OLDIES" FROM COKE COLA MACHINES TO THE OLDEST VEHICLE..... MAGICAL!!!! P.S. I have been to America Twice and Travelled through Nevada.... We drove through the Decomissioned Aeroplanes - A Lady driving a Black&White stopped behind Us and I thought forsure we were in trouble... She showed Us Where to Enter to see "The Aeroplane Grave Yard" in the Mojave Desert...... Tonnes of Love and Gratitude, and a BLESSED CHRISTMAS SEASON FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 18 DECEMBER 2022 - PRAYING FOR A SMOOTH JOURNEY INTO 2023... MARLENE FERREIRA - SOUTH AFRICA..... ❤❤

I was doing the tourist thing about 15 years ago. They had tours of the Mine across the road from the house. Returning from the mine a little girl picked up a shinny piece of metal on the parking lot. It was a Gold Nugget about the size of a half dollar. One of the owners, I think his name is Dave, let the little girl keep the gold nugget. Later Dave said it was probably 1 or two ounces.

Wow , that little snow plow that was hand-steered was so beautiful !

19:41 - Passaic High School is in Passaic New Jersey. The first PHS was constructed in 1886–87 at the corner of Lafayette Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue (now Broadway). The district's second high school was built in 1910 across the street from the original building on Lafayette Avenue. The present high school on Paulison Avenue was completed in May 1957. Passaic High School's first graduating class was in 1873 and had only eight students!

Thank you for sharing your walkabout. Very nice seeing all of the history.
