Hot Rods GENUINE Barn find (in the milking barn)

They're still out there. Found in the abandoned milking barn on closed farm. 1949 license plate. Quite solid but covered with barn swallow shit. Ron

 

Yah Lucky Guy!!...Congratulations...that's a nice one...can't wait to see her cleaned up...Plans? Wow driven for 9 years how grand is that!...maybe a Sunday driver and perhaps pretty low on the miles...

 

Nice!

 

Nice score.

 

Some days you win.

 

Whoa... what a cream puff.

 

You didn't hit a home run, you hit a grand slam!!! Accessory grill guard and spotlight's no less. I'll bet it cleans up nice.

 

Hellacious.

 

If it`s been sitting since 49, that would get an award for being the cleanest barn find ever. ???????

 

Nice. Congrats!

 

...let's see...a few inches down in the front, add a set of 2x2s and some smithys, some interior work, some spit and polish, done!......oh yeah...it's not mine...

 

I like it. Post more please. Typically, if they spend enough time in a barn, a pack rat will make off with each and every thread of the interior. They also love cloth wiring. Not saying you are wrong on your storage estimate, but the odds are something like…. The probability of pack rat damage is proportional to the time spent in any dark area.

 

Wow, that's nice.

Thanks for your service, my uncle was a seabee too.

 

Wow! That's awesome!

 

it’s great as it is. just get it running and wash the shit off.

 

Heck it was parked during Trumans reign in office.

 

For a week anyways THEN Hamb it up...

 

Wow those whitewalls sure held up for 71 years.........

 

The Swallow shit room is much more friendly than the Chicken shit room...

Hard to believe such a solid find in a rust belt state...mind you it may not be in Seabees state...barns have varied states of interior/exterior effecting deterioration...

 

Great find!

 

good find Ron! Wash that boy off and post some more pics.

 

Great find! Must be an interesting story behind it and the farm... would love to hear it.

 

Thats a great find, very good condition. Hopefully the bottom is clean and has minimal rust, dirt floor or concrete ?
Please post more pics when youre able.

Try oxalic acid on the chrome, wash well and soak towels in oxalic acid, rewet every hour or so. I use 1/4 cup per gallon.

TITS!!!

 

Cars sometimes don't seem to fare so well sitting for decades in a barn with a dirt or cement floor. Too much moisture. But an old car in a barn with a WOODEN floor can do amazingly well. I know there are barns... at least in the New England area... with wooden floors.
Perchance, did the barn where this car was stored have floors made of wood?

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

Bravo on time well spent, on the hunt for and the discovery of this great captured frozen moment of time!
You are now the custodian of a great piece of machinery, built by people that cared about quality, because, it was built to last!

 

You are teasing us, we need more information on how you found it and the history of the car.
