A £2. 4 million collection of abandoned cars has been found in a former warehouse, in addition to a “whaletail” Cadillac valued at £50,000.
A multitude of rusty vintage cars have been crammed into what is partly an automobile museum, but is now abandoned.
The discovery was revealed in a YouTube video on the Classic Car Rescue channel.
Although the location of the “barn” has been revealed, the chain has described it as “the largest collection of barns discovered known to man. “
In the mostly silent footage, the camera only shows the cars, most of which are covered in dust.
It’s unclear what condition the cars are in and if they’re even roadworthy, but judging by the looks of things, many need serious attention to repair them and bring them back to their former glory.
Many other Cadillacs from various generations are on display.
One car that catches the eye, however, is the old “whale’s tail” Cadillac.
Spoilers first appeared on the 1948 Cadillac Sixty-Two Coupe de Ville, but they are not as ambitious as those on later models.
They can be described as protrusions of the most sensitive of the rear fenders which also partially housed the taillights.
The spoiler design remained unchanged until Cadillac brought the 1955 Sixty-Two Coupe deVille.
Its design is an evolution of the past style and its hardware looked for the first time like genuine fins.
Then, the 1957 Cadillac Sixty-Two deVille brought even larger models and no longer had integrated lights.
However, 1959 was the year the Cadillac Sixty-Two appeared, featuring the largest and most exclusive spoilers.
They have a rocket-inspired shape and their rear component is V-shaped and the soft equipment is placed in the middle of the V.
The 1959 Cadillac’s 390-cubic-inch V8 engine can produce only 325 horsepower.
Buying a “whale tail” Cadillac in those days would cost up to £50,000 according to car auction sites.
Other iconic engines in the collection included vintage Chevrolets, Lincolns, and Packards.
There are also several cars parked on the lawn in front of the barn.
Although they are not weatherproof, they do not seem to rust too much.
It comes after a bizarre collection of abandoned cars rusted over 4 decades after families abandoned them in a terrifying conflict.
The vast collection of 400 engines left Cyprus when a Turkish invasion claimed more than a third of the island in 1974.
It’s not the only place where dozens of abandoned locomotives are buried, as one YouTuber discovered a locomotive graveyard hidden in a Japanese rice paddy.
It’s the resting place of a variety of luxury engines that have been left to rust, and some other cars come with jet skis.
Meanwhile, a British man raised eyebrows by locating an abandoned antique car graveyard in a UK forest.
They investigated the site in Nottinghamshire where there are believed to be 50 old and vintage engines, which “have unfortunately been left to rot”.
