After discovering and photographing the farmhouse with all the beautiful vintage cars, we made our way to the second location on our 2019 Christmas tour.
In this case, too, I had been given a tip that there were some beautiful old cars on the property. Plus, the place wasn't too far away from the first spot, so we only had to drive for about thirty minutes to get there.
The nearest residential buildings were far away, so we were able to park conveniently right next to the location.
The old farmhouse consists of a residential building connected at right angles to two farm buildings. Opposite is a large barn. The residential building was completely empty and didn't really offer any good photo opportunities, nor did the two farm buildings, which were in a terrible state of disrepair inside.
The barn didn't make a spectacular impression from the outside either: there was a lot of garbage lying around outside the barn door, the walls were thin and shaky, and the roof didn't make the best impression either.
On the other hand, it was very easy to get in because the barn door was slightly open, so we only had to climb over the garbage to get in.
Inside we found... vintage cars!
Most of the cars were Ford models. I particularly liked the Ford Taunus XL and the Ford Taunus Coupe GT from the early 1970s. These models are also known as the “Knudsen Taunus” due to the characteristic protrusion in the radiator grille, named after the former chairman of the board Semon E. “Bunkie” Knudsen.
In addition to the “Knudsen-Taunus”, we also found other representatives of the Ford family: a Ford Escort from the 1980s and a British Ford Thames 400E van.
Another little treasure was the Renault 8 (R8 for short), which probably dates from the mid-1960s.
Less spectacular were the two Daihatsu Charades from the 1980s.
