    Charlie & Steve Jorgenson are who own the cars(father & son). I've found Steve to be a little over high retail, and Charlie to be a lot over high retail. BTW, its a solid 5hr. drive from the twin cities.

    If I had a car trailer, I'd head there pronto. Would make a great little vacation/treasure hunt.

  30. Steve & Charles are good guys, if they have time they will take you on a tour (2 separate yards!) they have choice stuff but very pricey on their complete cars, decent tri-5 chevys between $5000-$9000, model-A coupes $5000-$7000. They dont rely on the cars for their income, they are big farmers. They have buildings full of loose parts for sale, buildings full of doors, hoods, fenders. Charles has a private collection that would blow your mind if he shows ya! Its worth the trip and you could easily spend a full day going through the cars & parts! Between Steve & Charles they have around 200 (yes I said 200!) vintage gas pumps & tons of old vintage gas station signs, oil cans, memorabilia! Here are a few pix I took last summer when I was there.
