DezzysSpeedShop, a YouTube channel (@DezzysSpeedShop), is dedicated to building classic cars on the verge of condemnation in the state of Washington.
Dezzy brings his son with him on his adventures to find and rescue classic cars.
In a recent videoDezzy discovered a backyard full of classics collected over several decades.
A few seconds after filming began, Dezzy saw several American classics in the man’s backyard.

He saw a 1964 Dodge Polara, a 1960s Chrysler 300 and a 1960 Imperial.
The Imperial is special to enthusiasts due to its rarity and eccentric design.
In 1960, the company sold just 17,719 vehicles; two-door hardtops like the one Dezzy filmed were one of 1,504 ever made, he wrote. Self-evolution.
Fully restored and in perfect condition, some Imperials have sold for up to US$125,000, according to ConceptCarz.
Dezzy quickly noticed the owner’s affinity with the early model years of Chevrolet Impalas.
He almost immediately noticed several 1960 and 1961 units, including a blue two-door sedan.
Some interested onlookers noticed a 1961 Brookwood and a 1960 Nomad – two rare station wagons that didn’t last past the 1961 model year.
Most noticed a 1955 Packard Clipper two-door coupe, which is one of 6,672 ever built by the company.
They were covered in moss from the humidity and almost constant rain.
“They’re all soggy from sitting around so long,” said Dezzy, looking out at the sea of rusty classics.
Dezzy wrote in the video’s description that the owner was accepting offers on all the cars he owned, although it’s unclear if any of them were sold.

Viewers of Dezzy’s video had mixed feelings about the rotting collection.
“These cars are about to become irreparable,” wrote one viewer.
“If they want to be saved, it will have to happen soon.”
Another viewer mentioned Dezzy’s ability to find cool, classic cars.
“You always find these gems as if they were waiting for you.”
Someone wrote that the climate should prompt the owner to sell the cars before they waste away.
“He should probably release some of them,” they wrote.
“It’s very humid up there.”
