Haunting photos show ‘wonderland’ classic car graveyard with over 300 vehicles dating back to 1950s

A MAN has discovered property with hundreds of cars from his childhood and walks the rows of cars weekly to reminisce.

Some readers say the condition of the cars makes them feel "incredibly sad."

American vehicle design language in the 1950s was a truly unique time for automotive history, as the country had just come out of the shadows of WWII and the economy was at an all-time high.

Citizens at the time had money to burn, and with extra cash, they turned to one of the country's most freeing privileges: driving.

Automakers were buzzing with new models, designs, body styles, and engine choices to meet the needs of eager Americans - and people bought them.

Fast forward to today, and it shows that mass production of cars had a side effect that no one saw coming - surplus.

Car graveyards with vehicles from the 1950s crop up all over the United States, with troves of them that were once brightly colored and leather-clad becoming rusted shells of their former glory.

One man in upstate New York, Phil T, discovered a property with 300-400 cars of the era sitting in rows along the trees becoming one with the Earth.

He wrote that he regularly returns to the site to bring himself back to that joyous time of his life.

"I drive up to this place maybe twice a year just to look and take pictures of the vehicles. It's a wonderland," he wrote to .

"I am 76 years young and when I walk down through the fields and look at these vehicles, I am back in the 50’s. Each car means something."

The mass production of these cars meant that Phil saw them everywhere, and seeing them once again brought sweet memories rushing back.
