From the 1950s through the late 90s, Jackson was home to a salvage and scrap yard that not too many people paid attention to. It was just another junkyard in another town. It had no real value to anyone other than those looking to unload their junk for some cash or people looking for that replacement windshield or quarter panel for their car. It was owned by Johnny Irons and was like any other junkyard of its day. Irons would keep a handful of newer model cars laying around for a few years until demand waned and he would scrap those cars for newer ones to keep up with people looking for parts for their cars. This continued through the 1980s when in 1998, Irons sold the yard to John C., a local resident.

John had bigger ambitions for the yard. After being involved in the automotive business his entire life, he wanted to do something different. Something nobody else was doing here in New Jersey. Something unique. So he purchased the yard and renamed it Unique Auto and Truck. Johns plan was not to continue the salvage and scrap business as usual, but to create a truly unique salvage yard, unlike any other in New Jersey. Instead of buying junk cars to sell for scrap, John began purchasing vintage cars from around the region. At one point, he subscribed to over a dozen car sales magazine and would make offers on anything he thought would have value to vintage car restoration junkies.
?
Within a few years, Unique Auto and Truck was the place everyone knew to go to if they were looking for that hard to find pre-1970s original automobile part. Eventually, the yard contained over 1,000 vehicles and was renown up and down the East Coast as one of the must visit yards in America. In 2006, Classic Cars and Parts Magazine, the industry standard trade journal featured John and his Unique yard. With so much recognition in vintage car circles, John fielded calls regularly from people who just wanted to walk around and look at the yard. To accommodate these automobile tourists who came to Jackson from around the world, John charged visitors $5 for a tour of the yard, good for as many tours as the person would like for an entire year.

Now all of Unique?s classic cars from the mid 20th century have either been sold, scrapped or donated to the Vintage Automobile Museum, operated by David?David DiEugenio, father of Jackson Memorial High School Principal Kevin DiEugenio. ?The elder DiEugenio is the director of the museum which has grown thanks to the generous donations of Unique.
