Who knew that Old Car City USA, a place where junk cars go to live out the rest of their existence, would be such a fascinating stop.

This is a place where nature and vintage cars intermingle to create the world’s largest classic car junkyard and one of the most photogenic stops you’ll ever find.

Located a short jaunt off of I-75 and a little less than an hour north of Atlanta is this under appreciated roadside attraction that appeals to car lovers and photographers everywhere.

Pull up to the nondescript, ramshackle building and enter a colorful, nature-loving world.

Here you will find 6 miles of trails on 34 acres with 4,000+ cars. Beyond the cars, there are a plethora of oddities to be discovered.

The trails hold so much more than cars as you’ll find words of wisdom scratched onto pieces of metal and wood throughout your adventure.

Wander around the grounds and see what treasures you can discover. I only had a short amount of time to visit. I covered as much as I could but I know I missed so much more.

Old cars, trucks, buses, artwork, folk art, and so much more.

This is truly a unique attraction that you won’t want to miss.
