There is beautiful cars
Lot money invested in vehicles put in museum
Wow 21:08 ... don't ever try that learning curve, what if that chrome rocket had broken off in his hand?
I am NOT a car enthusiast but this amazed me....😮 They should open up a car museum and save all the hard work the Dad did and collect COVER for people that love cars like this gentleman that knows so much about vehicles that held my post nterest until the end of the video. 😮 TOUR THE COUNTRY AND DON'T SELL AND KEEP HIS LEGACY AND LOVE FOR CARS GOING FOR DECADES, JUST THE STORY IS AMAZING HOW HE COLLECTED THEM 😳😍🥰
I would have killed for just one of those cars, but I guess I will have to keep driving my 5 speed 26 year old Sentra
Thank you Kim and your sisters thank you for letting us see your dads collection truly amazing!
I second this! Thanks!
they want to sell them, so why not show them to people you act like its a privilege when people are trying to get rid of stuff!!!
@@yeahright302 for car people, it’s also fun to see old car collections even though I’m not shopping
I would have kept at least 5 vehicles
This is not a collection. This is a complete museum!!!
Imagine having a car collection like this!! And to be able to keep them in a nice shop like that!!thats a dream almost all of us will never have but hats off to the family for showing it to us!!
Really, I'm thinking of buying a lawn mower so I can get a collection like this too ;
Sounds like she's gonna sell the property too. But boy did that man have some complete beautiful cars.
I always wonder what these guys did for a living. Seems like many worked for the government, others were in tech before tech blew up, made a killing. Surely not a factory worker's salary.
@@ALCRAN2010 well, the guy had his own landscaping business but it’s like his daughter said a guy would just come up to him and say hey you know someone died I got this car for sale you wanna buy it! I have friends that have collections of 25 cars and that’s how they accumulated a lot of their collection people just come up to them say you know I got this such and such car…you wanna buy it six grand that’s all I want for it!
You dad is what made America great. Good cars, good music, good friends, good food and good hobbies.
Thank you so much! I feel the same way♥️
This era was GREAT, GREAT GREAT
I wish my dad was like this guy! The collection is insane!
not all is lost. its your turn to be that Dad..😆😆😆
@@archibaldsamu5873 After he wins the Powerball or MegaMillions cause these babies are gonna be expensive as hell! I guarantee, 40 years from now, a Prius is still gonna be a vehicle no one wants.
I hope your dad don’t see this. He may be disappointed. I wouldn’t love to have these cars. All vanity.
@@archibaldsamu5873 well said.
@@boxoffisa I don't see any vanity..on the contrary its an art..an excellent way to store value.
Amazing collection, gotta love it. Thanks Tom. So kind of these folks to welcome ALL of us into their private world.
i'm European and i watch this from the other side of the ocean i was like
This goes to show how times have changed and that people were able to keep cars rather than trade them in and get into a new one. Dad was a proud man and worked for everything he had.
Was a wonderful discovery of vehicles. To see his daughter Kim light up with fond memories of the cars when she was younger, and she understands the importance of finding good homes for the car. By far one of my favorite episodes. Thank you for sharing.
I wish I could "like" this episode more than once. What an epic collection, and Tom's in depth knowledge and enthusiastic appreciation of it, really does justice to this man's legacy.
Roger that! 👍🏻
Legends. She's really good on camera and knows a good amount about the cars.
Yeah, Kim’s cool.
Kim and Tony, thank you for sharing your stories and your father and friend’s collection with the world to see. God bless you both.
This was probably my favorite Tom Cotter episode so far. Tom is always great and this time the collection was being kept indoors in more or less mint condition.
I never did understand horders who would leave their cars to waste away outdoors, while refusing to sell.
The quality and variety of the cars were a pleasure to watch. I do hope Kim & Co. can find a good home for all except for a few keepers.
And I can’t understand why they just keep indoors and not drive them
They all seem to be crammed into one building which is probably why.
Very amazing collection! Glad to see that she wants them to go to people who will actually appreciate the cars and not just try to flip them.
Tom, you have done it again! This episode is definitely one of the best! I have followed all of your videos and this is surely in the top five!. Kim and her family should be very proud of their dad, he left them a legacy! What a collection!
Her & their fathers friends personalities was the icing on the cake for this ep!! Seems possible her whole family would be great company! The STORIES they must all have.. some remarkable automobiles in this collection; cryin’ shame about that building’s climate control system going defunct, as upholstery mold can be quite a massive undertaking to fully remove/restore. My two ‘55 Buick Super’s are both coupe’s and use them GM “flipper” trims above door glass edge.. they work pretty cool, for how & why they were engineered. I could spend a month in that building and would still NOT be settled on a favorite!
@seanbatiz6620 All the cars are beautiful I remember my dad drove 50/51/52/and 53 chevys.
Thank you Kim for letting Tom show all those beautiful cars, your father collected some nice vehicles. They are all so clean . I hope you , your sisters and other family members can keep some and enjoy them and talk about your father at family gatherings . 😊
thank you for what?showing cars that she wants to sell?lol
Absolutely an outstanding episode of barn. Find hunters with with Tom Cotter and Haggerty. Thank you to Kim for allowing you to go there and film and then a tremendous thanks to her dad and her dad‘s best friend for taking the time and money out of their lives to save, some amazing cars!
She's a gem, I love her. God bless her dad! Tom, please help these woman, Hagerty, please help them!
Incredible collection, when a '64 mustang gets 30 seconds you know you have a special episode on your hands
When cars were cars not plastic.
The first one 🎉🎉hI showed has a lot of plastic
My parents said people would get in fender benders, and look wipe and drive away with maybe a scratch!
Tom that was just totally amazing how you made it to that barnfind! Totally one of my all time favorites for you. Kim and her sisters are reaping the benefits of her Dad's passion for cars.
What an awesome find, Kim is awesome for letting you film, and I thank you for making a video longer than 15 min!
Man, this so cool. Does not matter what brand of cars are the in the barn. I always enjoy reading and seeing stories about barn find cars.
Kim is so lovely, great stories and history and what a celebration of Dad's life.
Kim's a delight. You can tell her home Is warm, wonderful & full of love!
Nice and relatively well-kept than other barn finds.
The man sure knows what to collect.
Wonderful episode featuring an absolutely wonderful collection of a wonderful generation of automobiles. My dad was a Chevy, Oldsmobile, Cadillac salesman during the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. I remember cars like these when they were new.
Several of them I would love to have. Thanks to Kim for allowing us to see the collection and to you Tom for bringing the collection to us.
Man, the gentleman who owned these had exceptional taste in cars. What a beautiful collection!
Wish I owned just one of these.
Thanks for the tour. Your dad had excellent taste!
This was an extraordinary episode Tom. Keep doing what you do, it make's episodes like this possible. Thanks for the cars but most of all thanks for the great people!!
Thanks to Kim for letting us see her Dads collection.......WOW!
Love watching these collection videos! The stories behind them are always so cool to hear.
My birth family built these cars but I was adopted in 1980. Mom's cousin is married to top engineer who retired in 2004. He was teaching after that...
My cousin retired 1990 to 2000 she designed GM; then 2000 to 2007 she sold Mac Tools for Roush Team. Now she's working in MI and I'm located in TX.
Thanks for showing us the cars. They're beautiful. 🎉
This is probably the most amazing car collection that I have ever seen. I believe that every one of those vehicles is capable of running and driving with minimal effort.
I hope anyone who inherits antique vehicles of any type are at the very least grateful. I would be so appreciative and extremely grateful if someone in my family left me a car of some magnitude and a cool history. My grandfather left behind an original 1959 Chevrolet Police car he used daily for many years. He said it had a Police Interceptor Engine and was extremely fast and durable. That car went to my cousin. I was and still am very disappointed.
With this collection I would get every one of these cars running and drive every single one of them. To me that would be so much fun and would honor the person who created this fine collection.
That black La Salle was my favorite from this episode. What a beauty!
This was awesome! And all of them in a great condition in a well cap barn. Yes, some are going to need some cleaning, and probably some new tires, but none of these look like a true “project”. All of them look like they’d be ready to go in a matter of hours or a weekend at most. I love it when collectors actually maintain their collection, and don’t just collect their own junkyard. And you can tell with Kim and her family, but even when they sell off some of these, there’s probably a couple that each of them will keep and leave to the next generation of their families.
That is the absolute best collection of vehicles so far!
Great episode Tom! These folks feel like family and take good care of their dads collection. Can't wait for the next episode!
That 60 Impala deserved more screen time, would probably be my pick of the lot.
I had one in xlnt condition in 1970. Silver and black, matching interior, super clean. Spun out on a rainy night and hit a parked car and totaled it. My biggest automotive regret!
It’s really hard to pick a favorite from all those classics.
Thanks for sharing your family memories and treasures. Your father truly loved these classic historical vehicles, respect, what a great inheritance to his beloved daughters. Great story ❤
With as rare as those all are, I would have definitely invested in top of the line heating and cooling to maintain their pristine condition. Man what a collection . Beautiful
What a beautiful collection I hope the family gets the most value for them and thank you for showing them. God Bless!!!
Wow, what an excellent video and an incredible collection. As a UK viewer I really enjoy learning about and seeing cars that are not really seen here. Some I know and have seen before as I frequent many classic car shows others are new to me. All of them are interesting to me though. Already looking forward to the next episode of Barn Find Hunter.
I know right. Barn finds over here are all xr3is and Vauxhall nova se's😂
@@geoffwatches It's funny you say that, because I just watched @TheLateBrakeShow pull out and start-up a 'barn find' Aston Martin V8 Vantage. We've got interesting stuff too! Just not this sort of stuff (which all looks magnificent; what a period for American car design the '50s-'60s was in particular).
I did see a car meet on cable TV just a few weeks ago and I was surprised with the number of nice American classics and some large land yachts plus a few muscle cars thrown in the mix had me wondering how nice it would be to hear the back stories of how they ended up in the UK?
Thanks Kim for allowing us to see this amazing collection
Thank you Kim and your siblings, what an absolute treasure to have tangible objects that connect you directly to your Father. Be very selective with the next custodians of these gems. One of my favorite episodes !!!!!! Thanks Tom !
thank you for what?she is advertising them to sell them!!
@@yeahright302 ….apologies mate, should have contacted you first (for permission) before being grateful to see an amazing collection.
@@superlongy no need,why be grateful she is selling the cars.
@Superlongy.....Yes , thank you soo much for being grateful. My intention was not to do this to sell,but to show my Dad's collection that he loved so much. It has helped us tremendously, especially connecting with some original owners! Tom is awesome!
Finally Second Episode Is Out!
Love From India! ❤️
Such a unique collection! And should be relatively easy to bring back to life!
I have seen 50 barn find video's probably more and not 1 has come close to the volume of magnificent cars in this video. This was really a MUSEUM for excellent quality barn find cars. The LaSalle's were magnificent and love the 67 Caddy mama mia what a sexy ride!! Kim your father would very proud of you.😘
This has to be one of the ultimate barn finds, brilliant.
A simply amazing and eclectic collection. So many rare cars intermixed with ordinary family cars.
Wow what a collection and what nice italian folks.. reminds me of my relatives....Kim is a sweetheart ... im sure you'll find good homes for the cars as your father is watching from above 😉 Caio e tanti auguri
This is my 2nd show.. I totally loved it.
Kim, treasure indeed!
Simply WOW WOW WOW !!!
I can't believe there is absolutely no vermin damage 😮
A well built hall for sure. An investment in itself, kept those cars in great condition.
Guy was a big time, professional landscaper. I'm sure he had access to the "good stuff". 😉
How did I go all these years not knowing about the flip-up rain deflectors? Just proves even the most diehard car guys can learn something new!
Ditto! And I'm a car guy too.
Ditto, and my Grandfather was the plant manager at the Cadillac Clark Street assembly plant in the 50’s where they made all those Cadillacs. Pretty cool to learn something new.
Wow! Tom, you continue to blow us away with better and better finds. What an amazing collection and what an amazing man he must have been to pull this together. Top one. Nice one. Get sorted. 😎
Very much appreciate seeing all this. Those of us who had Car Dads love this especially 😍💞🥰
We called those Buicks RoadMatresses in the day…
As an Olds/Buick/LaSalle enthusiast, this episode was a winner. Being Tom’s age, my Dad and Grandfather owned a few of these. When I got my license you could pick these up cheap. 200 bucks for a nearly identical ‘59 Olds. One day I bought a ‘68 Chevelle 396 4 speed ($600.00), beat the crap out of it while partying hard that evening and eventually got it stuck in a ditch. Couldn’t afford to bail it out of the tow lot right away and by the time I got my next paycheck, they wanted 300 for towing and storage (way more than my paycheck). Never saw it again. Oh well, there’s more where that came from. Good thing I hadn’t sold my ‘61 Olds yet.
Thanks for Story.. interestingly, a close Friend ( I graduated in HS *;WOLF LAKE HS, NObLE COUNTY, IN, 1965) borrowed 1967?? , of these MALIBU 396 /4 speed/ Bench Seat : we broke the seats in acceleration s, etc. Anyways,fun times.. probably safer, more productive activities than running Thru the gears today.?.,,
In1965, I bought a 59 Bonneville convertible, white with red leather interior for $300.
Your farther has a style like no other amazing taste in cars knowing what he liked 🎉 you ladies are blessed 💖
RIP to Kim’s dad. Great video.
Fun collection! Glad you all were able to share this!
Wow! What a collection. I hope they have the resources to sort some temperature control if they are going to keep the cars. I used to get a bit annoyed at the collections that some people have in barns in the middle of nowhere but I'm over that now . I'm just annoyed at the ones that are clearly just rotting away.
Most fun is to take a 3 on the tree to a restaurant with valet, they will have some one that can drive a stick. But seldom will they have some one that can drive a 3 on tree. It can be fun
I'll be laughing my ass off😂
Fun? Yeah i bet, if you have money in your fridge instead of food 😂 fun he said
They could do more damage than the enjoyment seeing them struggling
Fond memories of driving a friend's left hand drive 3 on a tree in the UK when I was 18. Some beautiful cars in that barn.
Try a 4 on the tree.
Growing up in 60/70s my dad had the same teal and white Caddy but it was a 4 door hardtop. Had a black 58 4 door b4 that. I always wanted a 1960 2 dr Caddy or Impala cuz it's the yr I was born. Thanks for the memories.
Love this video, for myself breath taking. I bought my first car when I was 17teen, a 57 Chev two door hard top. I had to sell it when i got married, to this day i still regret it. About getting married.
To the 3 sister's please, whom ever buys any of these's beautiful cars, make sure they care for them. Blessing to all
What a great collection! I hope they find good homes for them.
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing brought back memories of my grandpa!!
The cars, the stories. ❤
What a great collection! The Lasalle 4-door convertible is the star for me. I think the grille on the chopped Chevy could have come from a '58 Buick.
Limited
LaSalle was the lower prices alternative to Cadillac.
The custom Chevys grill is from a '58 Buick.
The '48 Buicks hood is opened from either side for services. The way you opened it was for complete access/removal.
Buick Limited Grille right?
@@JohnSmith-rw8uh They shared grills on all series I believe, so yes.
What a dream barn! Stunning! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an amazing collection, props to the gentleman’s years of hard work that enabled him to own such a vast collection. The American Dream.
Gee our old Lasalle ran great! Those where the days🎼
Archie was right 😉✌️🍻
What an incredible collection and they’re from my old neighborhood in Brooklyn where I grew up but how can you just skip over that beautiful 63 Buick Riviera one of the nicest cars in the collection!!
I love your collection. You have been truly blessed. Thanks for sharing.
AMAZING Collection! Preserving history!
Oh my goodness that 57 Chevy!!!! Best one I've seen in my life, and that color combo? Amazing!! What a collection!
I am amazed by the brass piping in the Oldsmobile engine bay
Wow! What a amazing collection of cars.
This is insane collection. Such a nice original cars. Most of the time in other episodes you can see neglected cars, people are buying to restore one day… but not that guy, he finished all the projects.😮
Sisters first action: Liquidation.
like the 48 Buick roadmaster
Im so happy for them sisters. There collection is amazing.
Beautiful collection of classics!
Cool collection, they picked a good way to divvy up.
I would block up the cars to take weight off of the tires so they don't Crack, and use a product inside the vehicle called DRIZAIR to absorb moisture .... to avoid the mildew..... thanks Tom, amazing collection. Also the Chevy Power Pack was not just the Rochester 4bbl but also the Heads
Unless the car is ONLY for show, it's a bad idea to use really old tires on the road. The rubber inevitably decays, carcass cord too. Even the wire in the beads can rust to an unsafe level. Best to set them aside if you want to hold onto them and use modern repro tires for driving.
I have to say that the daughter's knowledge of these cars was absolutely amazing as well her dad would be and I'm sure he is looking down on her very very proud he probably sitting on the roof having a beer with a big grit on his face
All I can say is WOW!!! That is an amazing collection, those ladies inherited some absolutely beautiful cars. They really hit the lottery on that one.
This just goes to show you gotta enjoy life while it lasts and drive/ride the hell out of everything you got, you'll be long gone before soon and it's all gone to dust, the family's gonna pick the bones
man how many barns are out there....
This was a dope collection!!
Landscaping wasn't easy job to have a lot of hard work. I'm sure he earned every car that he has in that bar.
I wished I had had a dad & he had left me a collection like that especially with me being a huge car guy, this is awesome ✌💖☮
Man what a beautiful collection full of very cool cars. The one that bummed me out was not being able to see that 68 skylark but from what you could see that was beautiful too. I'd be like a kid in a candy store walking around looking at those fine automobiles
Absolutely wonderful collection! Thank you, Tom!
The family’s company truck is, by far, my personal sweet-spot in the collection … dang ! Big smile on my face
old Buicks open from either side. left to right.
Great video and find!🤘😁
What a Dad, what a collection. You sisters are so lucky and yet humble to show them to us. Otherwise most folks don't care about their inheritance and just sell it right away.
Thise Tri 5s are amazing. Thank you Kim for the tour🙌
