Average cars in a perfect barn



Like an impressionist painting. In fact these elaborate walls beg for finds with more pedigree... The two 1930s cars are sort of middle of the road. The first one is a second series (1934-1937) Fiat Balilla four door berlina, the other is a 1933 Dodge that at some point was cut to create some sort of pick up. Both cars have been discovered recently in the basement of an old abandoned building with stone made walls and timber roof... and yes, perhaps this is which makes the discovery more interesting. The cars were found in northern Spain by a young photographer who has the habit - or hobby if you prefer - to visit old abandoned places. He didn´t plan to enter this vintage house -well known for him- but the last time he passed he was surprised: the garage doors had been opened for the first time after many years. Inside, he casually found perfect material to play with his camera: Old cars -apparently parked there since the 1960s- perfect 'claire obscure', plus dust, rust and 'pretty' waste everywhere. All the ingredients which a proper "find" should have.

At least the Dodge would have been perfect on the Artcurial sale at this year's Retromobile and would have fetched at least 30.000 €...

Do I detect an Ever so slight note of sarcastic incredulity here ? (LOL)
