The art form of collecting older cars is growing in popularity but there has been a little confusion in the verbiage that accompanies this hobby.There are stark differences in the requirements and conditions for a barn find as oppose to a preservation class piece. This article enlightens us in the refined pursuit of collectibles and how this time tested hobby made its way into the world of vintage cars.
If preservation-class cars appeal to the true connoisseur, barn finds appeal to the adventurer, the romantic, the dreamer. While a barn isn't, strictly speaking, necessary for a barn find (any type of nonideal, long-term storage will do), the detritus of the passage of time must be obvious. Thick dust (preferably as thick as the layer of ash deposited by the last eruption of Mount Pinatubo) is de rigueur. We've even heard stories of people running vacuum cleaners in reverse to create or enhance this effect.
