| Subject: Original 1920s "barn-find" car sells for $176,000 - rust and all Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:24 pm | |
| Some might term the time-worn, American-built, 1923 Locomobile Model 48 recently purchased at auction a “survivor,” others a “barn-find,” and it’s really a bit of both, but it’s also an example of a classic car class that’s becoming increasingly popular.
Its grey paint is faded, its brass tarnished, its seat leather cracked, its dash dull, and the bezels on its Chelsea Clock Co. of Boston timepiece and other instruments (one an odometer indicating just 24,269 miles) are tarnished.
