[Bmcu] Fwd: Found in a barn

[Jeff Greenland]

Although the barn is real, the story is apparently a hoax.  It was a car 
dealer that continually added cars throughout his career to the barn.

Still some great pictures!  There are quite a few cars I would not mind 
having in my collection!  (I wouldn't mind that big of a barn, too)
