o my goodness! i'm just sitting in my flat off the portobello road green with envy.. never see stunning cars like that in london.. it must have been so amazing back in the day when they were all over the place,
It makes me sick to see these cowboys stuffing up these old cars. They have no idea how to look after such gems. Fancy making the engines run without gently soaking the rings in lubricant for a day or two and then flush out the old oil and fluids. The brake fluid would be dead too, so until all fluids have been changed, these cars should never have been run. They will all need an engine rebuild now.
Thats more like a 'miniature private museum' find than a barn!! central heated garage?? Amazed those cars didn't cath the cold getting taken outside!! Well done!
@Rumple70 I think kid,s just go to these sites and write stupid shit, I am sure you paid top dollar for the car,s people are so stupid ,,, say you gipped the old dude out of them, i looked at a 59 ford that had sat out side for twenty year,s and man was it rough, i asked the old timer what he wanted for the car he belted out $6,000.00 without blinking an eye, i almost shit myself,,. these old timer,s are hard to deal with.
@littlemaninthebottle thanks for the honest coment...the Cadillac Eldorado has been sold...the 55 Cadillac is still at our shop...it is unreal underneath...still in factory primer..ok...what are these worth? Not for you bottle...but just a question to veiwers...
@Rumple70 I found an F-bomb camaro In real life, Imma take some pictures and make a video of it. there was also one of those cadillacs with pointed fins, forgot what its called. :D
There is no way these cars were just sitting in there, they HAD to have been maintained! Cars that sat for years don't just start up. These cars have been run regularly. We found a 1965 Pontiac Star Chief that had been stored since the 1980's, and it still ran, but it took a TON of work before we could even THINK about trying to start it. But these are some nice cars!
I agree. Wouldnt really call these a barn find. They weren't stuffed in a barn or garage and forgotten for years. But still a VERY cool find :) Especially love that 55 Cad!
@brobinson75 maybe because he said "this is a true barn find here" how do you not take that literal. I still say they are not barn finds. Just because you find an old car in a garage does not make it a barn find. A barn find does not have a good battery and a good tank of gas. A barn find most likley will need alot of work to run let alone drive. This is a really good collection of old cars. A great find without a doubt better the owner sold now than 20 years from now. A great find yes.
@86lowrider I agree. A great find. NOT a barn find. Going by what others have said that means my brand new truck is a "barn find". After all it was "stored" in the show room. Therefore, according to them, it's a barn find.
I had a neighbor that has 3 1920's cars and 3 early 55 to 56 Tbirds in her garage, she was in her 90's and knew ACTUALLY how much each of them were worth.
I'm sure they will be sold via a auto broker, as she is gone now. Her family are keeping the Tbirds though

"and the woodburner has been going every day since 1942" What??? What mentally disturbed person would POLLUTE the air this long, just to heat up a couple cars? Nuts. I call 'mentally disturbed', to say the least. Some people in the world have allergies; wood smoke makes it hard to breathe! It is appalling to me someone would burn a wood stove for this purpose. Oh, I believe you...no doubt. I just am appalled at lack of consideration for pollution, ya know. weird,,,no doubt.
@Rumple70 Actually the estate was professionally appraised ...we had to up that price to get these cars... Rumple70 1 year ago ............ Dear Rumple, Thanks for mentioning that; some old timers have a lot of emotional investment in vehicles stored in this manner. . Often an individual died or became disabled and in either case was no longer able to drive the vehicle, leaving it to the present vendor to deal with; all the traumatizing affect, re-surfacing at sale time. . Cheers. from, del-boy
This is why I would never hold on to anything like this and not enjoy it or at least get to sell it to who and for what I wanted to. Otherwise you end up with people crawling all over the stuff you should have gotten rid of yourself lowballing the people that don't know what it is worth. I am sure these scumbags made a fortune.
@gaatooor How can you call people who are rescuing these great things from disintigrating away to nothing and giving them new life scumbags? I applaud them as the owners do not have to sell if they dont want to and these guys need to be able to make it worth their time and expense to get them too. Its a win win all around.
American involvement in World War II began, of course in December of 1941. By that time, some '42 models had already been manufactured. Also, civilian manufacturing was not instantly halted and replaced by military production. The transition took several months.
The '42 model year was abbreviated, and there were no '43s, '44s, or '45s. Production was resumed in '46, and they were essentially the same as the '42s.
1992...In seymour Indiana across from the hospital...they were to tear down a garage an it had the old owners 55 caddy in it ..they parked it in the rain for 2 years then sold it for 5000 grand......wheres the love?
The easiest way to affect the involuntary transfer of a motor vehicle title to a car bought with out the title, and the only document that you have is a bill of sale is by using the Notary Certificate of Default Method.
@MercifuILordVoo I have seen notary websites that say the NCDM is completely illegal and a scam to part the desperate from their money by selling them an NCDM "kit." Notaries are not authorized to issue administrative law judgements -- they do not have judicial discretion. And it doesn't make sense anyway -- there is no way you can send someone a letter, and when they don't reply claim in "court" that they therefore agreed with everything you said in it. Pass.
@50zcarsman ... A notary public is empowered to perform seven distinct official acts: take affidavits, verifications, acknowledgments and depositions, certify copies of documents, administer oaths and affirmations, and protest dishonored negotiable instruments.... a motor vehicle title, my friend, is a NEGOTIABLE Instrument.
A JOHN DEERE 212. I have one and I am fixing the push rode. It sat in a barn with a bung of tractors I will post some videos for you guys. But it will take a week or 2. They are in a barn at my sisters and dads.
Don't see what being heated has to do with it. Seems like that would only encourage critters to congregate inside in the notorious Hoosier winters. No thanks -- properly-prepared vehicles sleep just as well at 30 deg. for a few months ea. year as they do at 65. Paint and tires aren't significantly affected, either, and if so are easy to replace. Dad had a half-restored '56 Mercedes conv. that weathered 27 yrs. in an unheated by weather-tight garage, and it came out fine.
I don't see the barn find in this video. They are great cars no doubt however these have been looked over and taken care of thru the years. They have been run on a fairly reg basis. I have a 68 GTO that is in what could be called a barn but i would not call it a barn find,. these cars are for sale on there web site for I'm sure way more then the old gent was paid.
@86lowrider I'm not sure the term "Barn Find" should be taken that literal. I would say anything in storage, no matter what shape its in, could be a barn find. This is just fortunate that these are in the shape they're in, even if they were taken care of. It's a discovery to these people.
love those '55 and '56 caddy couple devilles. i remember my first date we were so young neither one of us could drive legally, so her dad brought us to the show. he had a several years old caddy coupe deville, solid black with a red leather interior. my memory of that car was it so so shiny and at night in southern la. it was hot in the summertime.
i can still remember when debbie and i got into the backseat and i could smell the leather and the cooled interior on that '56. this was '61.
Only thing I want to know is did you guys change the oil before you started these cars. Even driving them down the driveway with old oil that would have lost any protection would not be good for classics. Amazing cars. Glad to see the passion you have in appreciating them.
these cars had to be run from time to time. his lawn tractor was parked between the cadi and the studabaker. you don't get in a car that has sat for 40 years and just start it up back it out.
According to various sources, sometime between 1895 and 1898 Gräf & Stift built a voiturette with a one-cylinder De Dion-Bouton engine fitted in the front of the vehicle, powering the front axle. It was thus arguably the world's first front-wheel drive automobile, but it never saw mass production, with only one copy ever made.
The first successful application of front-wheel drive was the Miller 122 racecar designed in 1924 by Harry Arminius Miller of Menomonie, Wisconsin.
I own 2 classics. My father gave me 1968 RAMBLER 440 with 29,000 original miles and paint. Then i went and bought myself a 75 vette. I,ve owned 6 classic muscle cars and love the repect that car nutz have for the histoery of a well buit car.We,ll never see cars restored or restorable like these cars again..Nice video and thanks for sharing with the other car nutz!
yes and they bin cared 4 heated garage not a find i bet someone said somethink cus the ppl who cars they was and i think the car was safer in there and look like this ppl where out 2 make money and that sad it cud not be about making money cus the ppl who like the car cant get them cus ppl like them they take more then they needed and i bet they sold them it just sad
i am a car ''person''. inherited it from my dad. i'm 56 and my first date was in the 6th grade and my girlfriend's dad drove us to the movies in a '56 caddy. it was a few years old in the early '60's and was new enough it still looked good. it was a solid black coupe de ville with a red leather interior. i can still remember that hot summer night and feeling the ice cold a/c as i climbed into the back seat and smelled the red leather as he ''chauffeaured'' us to the movies. those were the days.
Starting cars that have been sitting so long can do a lot of damage. There are a lot of things that should have been checked first including fresh oil and gas.
The caretaker did probably run these engines for a minute once per 14 days and kept the tires under pressure.
But the handbrake of the old Stud was stuck and it looks like the pneumnatic suspension of the 55 Caddy was shot ( it was laying far too deep), so guess they were never driven.
Maybe he's raced at Daytona, but you don't race the engine of an old car like that when you start it up after it's been sitting...particularly on a freezing day. Anyway...love both of those Cadillacs!
Sad a person has loved these fine vehicles all their life and they are sold less than a day and gone. This will more than likely happen to my one owner 72 malibu.
This is great! I just found a 1952 dodge coronet in a barn last year. paid 1000 dollars for it. 52,000 original miles. I'll post a video during spring. The barn collapsed a week ago from snow. Boy was I lucky to get that out! Great video, love the cars! :-)
Well it was 10 degrees and 12 hours to get these car out of the barn...if it was faked we should make a movie next...I put this on UTUBE just to show a neat experience...staged...no way!!!
THat was a goldfind they are in great shape. And some people are poor that drive them but usually they dont go far in them, just around town and car shows, only someone from around auburn where they made the dussenburgs, auburns, and cords would truly appreciate this, and maybe a few from detroite or california.
where in indiana did you find them. I am from around fort wayne indiana.
How long did you charge the batteries for? no way those things just started after sitting for so long

Its sad that the person that took care of this cars never got to enjoy them, and finally, when the time came, meet and decide who he sold them to.

i am a car ''person''. inherited it from my dad. i'm 56 and my first date was in the 6th grade and my girlfriend's dad drove us to the movies in a '56 caddy. it was a few years old in the early '60's and was new enough it still looked good. it was a solid black coupe de ville with a red leather interior. i can still remember that hot summer night and feeling the ice cold a/c as i climbed into the back seat and smelled the red leather as he ''chauffeaured'' us to the movies. those were the days.

Starting cars that have been sitting so long can do a lot of damage. There are a lot of things that should have been checked first including fresh oil and gas.

The caretaker did probably run these engines for a minute once per 14 days and kept the tires under pressure.
But the handbrake of the old Stud was stuck and it looks like the pneumnatic suspension of the 55 Caddy was shot ( it was laying far too deep), so guess they were never driven.

I think they wouldn't have started so easy if it didn't have freash gas. Hopefully they changed the oil.

Those 55 Cadillacs are not only classic artform in looks but also have the best engine note to listen to.

Maybe he's raced at Daytona, but you don't race the engine of an old car like that when you start it up after it's been sitting...particularly on a freezing day. Anyway...love both of those Cadillacs!

This is great! I just found a 1952 dodge coronet in a barn last year. paid 1000 dollars for it. 52,000 original miles. I'll post a video during spring. The barn collapsed a week ago from snow. Boy was I lucky to get that out! Great video, love the cars! :-)

THat was a goldfind they are in great shape. And some people are poor that drive them but usually they dont go far in them, just around town and car shows, only someone from around auburn where they made the dussenburgs, auburns, and cords would truly appreciate this, and maybe a few from detroite or california.
where in indiana did you find them. I am from around fort wayne indiana.
