If you venture fifty miles north of Atlanta, you'll stumble upon a graveyard of sorts, a compound thathouses nearly 35 acres of one of the largest car collections in the world. But don't expect to seeshiny new or classic cars decked out with fancy-schmancy do-dads, nope, not here! Old Car CityU.S.A. in White, Georgia, offers an eerie kind of experience, where visitors can walk a 6.5 mile trailand see thousands of abandoned cars and pickups, many of them classics with some dating as farback as 1918.
Old Car City
The auto graveyard that is located along a wooded trail is a car aficionado's dream, whether avehicle is lying under a bed of leaves and branches, or covered by moss or ferns. Car enthusiastsdon't seem to mind the rusted relics and oddly enough, the faded patina and decay just seem toenhance the beauty of the vehicle's original design.
The business began back in 1931 when the parents of the current owner, Dean Lewis, decided toopen a small general store in the tiny town. The family added a scrapyard business segment to the
store and by 1970 when Dean's parents bowed out of the business, he decided to take it over. Deanwent on a quest to add more vehicles to the few that were already in the scrapyard. He purchasedcars from auctions, recycling yards and from private parties. The business soon expanded and Deanfound himself adding even more acreage in order to accommodate the vehicles. As his businessgrew, Dean soon realized that he could quite possibly make some money charging admission tothose car lovers, who looked at the aged vehicles more like works of art.
All of the vehicles are reportedly for sale and once a relic is sold, it will not be replaced.
Packards, Desotos, Studebakers, Kaisers, Hudsons, Edsels, Chevys, Pontiacs, Oldmobiles, Caddies,Plymouths, Nashes, Dodges, Chryslers, some foreign numbers, the list seems endless and all arelocated at Old Car City. So if you have a passion for cars, don't mind walking and are willing toinvest in a good ole can of bug spray, then Old Car City is right up your alley! Need moreinformation? oldcarcityusa.com
