Mark D Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Pulling one this from a barn this morning. Trailers hooked to the Silverado and my best buds are on their way over now to meet me. 1940 Buick Super 56S. Nevada car been in an old service station "barn" since 1979. Interior is a mess, but the rest of her is in decent shape. Pics of the actual barn to follow... Edited August 1, 2015 by Mark D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) my blurb was not that there are cars and old items being found daily..only that they are not coming out of barns..as is even supported by your find not being a barn, but some old garage... good luck on your retrieval..hope all goes smooth and safe...my last car found me in a odd roundabout way..it was not a barn find..rather an metropolitan downtown heart of the city multi level parking garage that had been sitting in that space some 15 years Edited August 1, 2015 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 My Uncle John's Buick sometime during the 1940's Good luck Mark, I hope it all works out, the early 1940 Buicks are a beautiful auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 A barn Find description of a recently found car or anything else now days I think is used to make it seem more exciting and creates more story drama. The Barn Find also makes the buyer feel absolutely sure that he got an excellent buy even though the car or item was way over priced! As long as everyone is happy all is good.

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 by description of my outbuilding it is truly a barn and there is lots to find in there...just don't get 'found' in there is my best advice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Pardon the mis-interpretation for the intention of your thread Tim. I did state I would post a pic of the barn and this is my follow through. It started life as a small dairy barn, enlarged and turned into a service garage in the 40's, and closed in 1970.

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) that appears to be have been more like a milking house than an actual barn...for sure it has seen some alterations over the years to become what it is today...but again...by looking, who would have thought a car would be stored within..by the way..how did your retrieval trip go?

Mark D Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Tires re inflated and holding air! Most amazing considering the evident rot of the rubber. Thank god for tubes. Hauling her up on the trailer with my come along, powered by armstrong. At home washing off the forty years of dust, and emptying the contents. Evidence of her past life. Retrieved from the interior. Thankfully she didn't spend her last sent in the casinos she frequented thankfully she didn't spend her last sent in the casinos she frequently. This morning powering through documents that I received with the car, I found the original owners name and Winnefred Scott. So I've named the Buick Winnie. More evidence of the cars Providence was also found, it seems her son was in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Quonset point Rhode Island. One would assume that he drove the car from Nevada and sold it here. The prior owner gave me a bill of sale with a different name so I'm assuming that I am the fifth owner of this car, but it's only ever been registered in Winnie's name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 car appears to be complete and very solid....not bad even if it is a Blu-ICK....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 it appears that an investment in an electric winchmight be in your future. Yanking 1 or two tons of reluctant old iron up onto a trailer with a come along gets old in a hurry doesn't it???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plyroadking Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Since we're talking Buicks... here's my "barn gift" it was in a neighbor's barn and he finally said I could have it after 20 years of asking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Cool story......no matter what sort of building it was stored in. In watching American Pickers sometime back, they found several cars stored in the basement garage of a house. My car was sort of a "garage find"......as it was at a small salvage yard, and the owner had parked it inside a 1 1/2 ti 2 car size garage with a dirt floor. It had sat in there long enough, he had both filled the car and also surrounded it with other "valuable junk" items. The tires had sunk into the dirt and were rotted. Had to take a set of tires on wheels to use so I could bring it home using a tow bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Speaking of agricultural storage buildings, I was tipped off yesterday to the existence of a 35 Plymouth rumble seat coupe. Was told its unmolested, complete and in decent condition. Got the guys particulars and will probably take a look at it early next week. I understand that is a very low production vehicle, maybe 3 to 4 hundred made. Any one have any info on the particulars of this model?

I understand that is a very low production vehicle, maybe 3 to 4 hundred made. Any one have any info on the particulars of this model? I had one in 1965. Sold it for $50 just before I was drafted, figured I'd never be back to get it. (Kind of like Private Malone and his Corvette in the recent song). Did return and wish I had it. Mine was a perfectly restored body, mechanically sound needing upholstry. I can tell you it had a tube front axle, the innards of the transmission weren't interchangeable with a 1940. Reflector headlights. Probably a $10k+ car today in the condition I sold it in. Oh, well. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
