Here is the third and final installment of my Barn Find Car posts. There were just too many strange/odd ball and interesting photos to keep to just one post. I have spent a lot of time over the years photographing beautiful and pristine cars without a scratch, issue, dent, or fingerprint. Throw all of those photos away friends. Barn finds are where it’s at! Tell me these photos are not more interesting than a perfectly restored and excessively expensive classic car?! These cars were part of the landscape some already halfway down in the ground. Some had trees growing through them. Others had impressive levels of alien lichen growing on them as if we were actually living somewhere wet and cool. The amount of dust and dirt on each of these cars is palpable. (The smell was extreme. I took one for the team to get some of these photos for you friends.) Hipsters today spend crazy amounts of money and time trying to mimic the patina on some of these cars. There might not be much value to most of these cars but they were amazing “models” for my camera. This was an experience I will never be able to duplicate and I hope you enjoy seeing the results.

Very impressive like old house ruins which attract people especially since the Romantic and always allow space for imagination of the past and future because they are no longer in use but not useless at all.

That’s a great point and very true. You wonder what they were like in their prime and how they got to this state and how long they will stay. Thanks for the comment.

Great series. 🙂 And the last photo seems to say it all, a combination of age and class that can’t be denied. Thanks. –Curt

Great “effects”. Though I couldn’t help thinking of those who bought those cars back in the day. Maybe their first car? The first ride with kids? A picnic in the woods with a checkered tablecloth on the grass?
How many stories could those cars tell?

I had the same thoughts. And how long had they been sitting when they could have had a second life. I suppose it’s the way of things.

In fact they probably could be salvaged for parts. Where can you find Packard parts? 🙂

Junk yards and online and placed which reproduce them new I suppose. I think there were a lot of people there looking to by some of these for parts. They wouldn’t be worth the money to do a full restoration. But, then again, to each their own.

Hhhm, I don’t know. I’ll have to look. I doubt it because it wouldn’t have been travel related. I think there are some on facebook though. You have seen them though right because I seem to remember a gorgeous photo of your mom next to one once.

Yep. I posted that and you mentioned you had one. But I’m not sure I saw yours. (Such fantastic cars! I wish my parents had kept it)

Great photos. Where did you find these? Certainly not in one place. Random finds here and there?
