When the barn doors were finally opened, it was a wonderous sight to behold:

Over 150 cars in a 75 year frozen timezone. Anyone know if this is a true story or wishful thinking?

Interweb myth...

The cars are there, but there deliberately and no retired old persons are involved in finding them, just owning them...

I don't care about the retirement myth. I do care that the almost 200 cars do exist and are being held for that day in the future when these ghosts will reappear as classic cars.
