Imagine opening up a barn that's been completely untouched — besides a few raccoon prints — and discovering a treasure trove of history and beauty. That's what Motostalgia founder, Antonio Brunet, described when opening up the barn of a mysterious man only known as "Jack."
"It's the holy grail for a car guy," Brunet told Fox News. "Opening the doors, seeing the cars covered in dust, untouched for years… It's like you're in a time machine." The barn contains five prewar cars built before the 1940s. All of them are beautifully preserved. The collection includes a 1932 Cadillac 370B V-12 Victoria Convertible, a 1933 Cadillac Model 370C V-12 Town Coupe, a 1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16 Limousine, a 1923 Milburn Electric Model 27L, and a 1908 REO Model G Boattail Roadster. It's amazing what can be hidden in plain sight. The entire lot is worth a whopping $700,000!
"With a barn find, it's like time stopped. The cars haven't changed, they're just getting older," said Brunet. "They're just as they were when they were put away, right down to the smell. It's incredible."
