"Barn finds"... Pictures of finds...lets see 'em

1941 Hudson Commodore Garage Find

This 1941 Hudson was uncovered in a So Cal garage after being parked there for nearly 40 years

The exterior was originally three shades of green, and those older tones are showing through the most recent re-spray. The car wears black plates JET771 that have not been registered since 1971, and it is said that another Hudson on the property wore black plates JET772.

The large trunk was filled to the brim with papers, books, wood, chains, two extra radios, a complete front grille, a vintage gas can, five extra hubcaps, and more. It's claimed that the car shows no signs of accidents and that the bumpers line up perfectly. The car had some restoration work done in 1953 including most of the interior.

 

A Few Ive come across

 

I'm curious about the car on the left of the Hudson. Anything about that car?

 

My '38 after towing it out of a pasture in Eastern Washington in 2005. That is Mt St Helens ash covering everything in the bed. It supposedly had been there since 1972. The ash dates to 1980.

 

My car waited for me for 40 years.

 

Is the middle of the dash supposed to bow in like that?

 

ya, its where your girlfriends head goes when you nail the brakes.

 

This garage was just cracked open for the first time since 1949. The 1927 Buick and another mystery coupe were concealed behind a wall that apparently blocked access for 61 years.

 

here are a couple:

 

I live in fear of reading a thread like this and seeing a picture of the car I have in my back yard.

 

Imagine a barn find like this.

 

Would you believe in Dutch Harbor Alaska???

"ya, its where your girlfriends head goes when you nail the brakes."

Update on the 55' chevy I originally posted a picture of...
Finally talked to the owner, and he basically slammed the door in my face. The next door neighbor met me walking back to my truck. (he had a funny grin on his face)
I asked him why he wont sell or talk about the 55'...He replied... "out of shear evil"

 

heres my plymouth as I found it..Nd a few years later,with 331 cadillac in it.

 

15 years in a Indiana garage, shes home now.65 pontiac Grand Prix 2 Door 389, and its all there.

 

I pulled back the ivy to uncover this '32 Plymouth 2dr convertible sedan in a back yard in Stanton, CA, about 4 years ago. It cleaned up pretty good. Car was so rare (similar to a Deuce B400) that I let a restorer have it.

Oh you lucky bastard!!
I snapped all these in a weekend near my dads farm in southern Sask. If you see anything you like PM me, as they're scattered in various lots & fields. Just post the actual pic, and I'll know which one. Most of these the guys will let go for a few hundred bucks.
