Family discovers vintage car graveyard in late grandad’s warehouse…with rusting motors lined up next to forgotten TRAIN
A FAMILY was left stunned after discovering a vintage car graveyard in their late grandad’s warehouse.
Royce Kershaw Junior even had a forgotten train and a penny-farthing stashed away amongst his most prized possessions.
The hidden fortune was unveiled by his loved one’s after deciding it was time to trawl through his belongings.
But when they uncovered the vintage motors chest, they simply could not believe their eyes.
Inside the old warehouse, they found it filled with 50 classic cars, trains, boots, and even a penny farthing.
According to local news, Royce Kershaw Sr. owned a successful railroad business that he passed down to his son, Royce Kershaw Jr when he passed away in 1969.
Keeping possessions of the business, Royce Jr handed down the items to his remaining family following his passing in July 2023.
A huge variety of cars were found in the collection, with most of them being classic American models.
That included a 1931 Ford coupe, a 1913 Cadillac, a 1955 Thunderbird, a 1948 Lincoln Continental coupe, a 1966 Oldsmobile Tornado, a 1977 Mercedes and a 2005 Honda Element.
The family claims that many of the cars were bought new.
They also found a 1913 log steam train in the warehouse, as well as engine parts, trailers, equipment, automotive equipment, shop equipment, tools, gas pumps, old signs, and collectables.
The auction of the impressive collection is set to take place on February 21 at 7pm, held by Auction by Pearce in Montgomery, Alabama, US.
Chip Pearce, owner of Auction by Pearce, said: “Everything starts at a dollar, and the last bidder wins.
“This is an incredible opportunity for any collector, or aspiring collector, to get their hands on some very cool, unique pieces of automotive and transportation history.”
Elsewhere, a collection of stunning vintage vehicles was discovered in a remote woodland by an urban explorer, who posted the footage to YouTube.
Some of the cars in the area were so rare that mint-condition models can only be found in museums.
And a stunning collection of abandoned classic cars was also discovered in the grounds of an old mansion.
Scott Chivers, who goes by the name of Ratarossa on YouTube, was given exclusive access to the “car graveyard” by the owner of the property.
