Located around an hour’s drive north of Atlanta, Old Car City USA spans across 34 acres that contain the world’s largest collection of cars.

But unlike most large car collections, all of the vehicles at Old Car City USA are old cars that look like they have definitely seen better days.

This old car junkyard is a unique take on urban decay, except it’s old classic cars that are on decaying display.

Out front, you may notice a sign, which is also rusty, that reads “The world’s oldest junkyard jungle, here 80 years.”

But the truth is that Old Car City USA has been around longer than just 80 years – it was established in 1931 as a small general store.

And the same family still owns the land and property today.

As you walk the 34-acre grounds, you’ll find more than 4,000 American-made cars, trucks, vans, and even a couple school buses from the early 20th Century.
