While illegally exploring a locked shed, teenagers discovered a veritable collection hidden for years in the eyes of the general public. If for the most part they are American, there are also some European models, even French, like a DS or a Dauphine.
Exploring abandoned places has become a real pastime for many. Some can discover real treasures. This is how a group of teenagers discovered an Ali Baba cave for car enthusiasts.

An international collection …
The story takes place at the beginning of August 2021 in a small village near Porto Alegre, Brazil. Teenagers decide to force the lock closing for years the doors of an old shed. To their surprise, they discover a multitude of vehicles, most of which were launched between 1920 and 1970. They thus found themselves facing many Chevrolets (Airflow, Corvair or Styline), but also in front of a Fiat 124 Sport Coupé, a Simca 8 or even French models such as a Renault Dauphine and a Citroën DS. In the great majority, the cars were in an excellent state of preservation. Some would even display 0 kilometers on the odometer.

… hidden from the eyes of the general public
And for good reason, it was a private collection also including many technical documents, as well as mechanical parts. This “museum” would never have been accessible to the general public. Only friends of the owner would have had the privilege of discovering all of these models. When he died, his heirs, twins, never managed to agree between the sale or conservation of this collection.

Proud of their discovery, the young people hastened to distribute their videos on social networks. The police did not take long to note the offense and to warn the owners of the premises. Since, many vehicles have already been transferred to other more secure locations. Some have already been sold.
