I have, through the years, found a 1958 Cadillac at a used car dealer in mint condition, brought it by a farmer who traded it with about 15,000 miles on it for a 'newer' car, a Harley Davidson from the 1930's that a bike restorer found in a barn and purchased and recently came across a 1937 Plymouth rotting in a yard. There are collectables stashed in barns and elsewhere and I believe there's a site devoted to just that, but the name of it escapes me at the moment.
