Saw this on moparts and had to share..great old junkyard footage. Lots of shoebox 50's stuff. Somewhat painful to watch.

This must have been back in the day when you could drink on the job......That guy on the fork truck was doing 35mph it seemed and almost pushed over the truck he was unloading...... more than once!

That guy on the fork truck was doing 35mph it seemed and almost pushed over the truck he was unloading more than once in that clip around the 30 sec mark.

I thought WTF! He did almost turn the truck over!!

That guy was nuts.  I hate seeing cars crushed.  But, I understand the reason why.  Just can't save them all, but it's fun trying

i was waiting for Christine to go by on the conveyor in the first link for the crusher

Oh man, those old demo derbies. No seat belts, no squish bars, no rollover post, low back seat, ....... It just hurts to watch. Low back seat!  !!!

My uncle told me that when he used to derby in 60's the entire preparation of the car was 1) Get un-sober, 2) Roll down the side windows. Then it was time to roll.

Damn you have good eyes!  But it appears to be a 1966 or 1967 Coronet 4 door sedan with no grille after careful examination.

It could also be the newest car in the bunch (only 6-7 years old).

Yeah you're right, It went by so fast that I didn't notice it was a 4 door.
