Barn find videos are always great. It\u2019s fun to see what sort of long lost goodies are hiding away in someone\u2019s creaky old shed. Usually, such cars have been wasting away for decades; covered in debris, filled with rust, and infested with rodents. Not all of them, though. This one owner of dozens of old classics, Howard, has a collection of old Rolls-Royce<\/a> models, some of which have been hiding away in a shed, and they\u2019re in fantastic condition for their age.<\/p>\n

In this recent video from Hagerty, we get to meet Howard, one of the most interesting car fanatics you\u2019ll ever see. His collection of cars is one of the most fascinating, and yet one of the most head scratching, I\u2019ve ever seen and I absolutely love it. In sheer volume, Howard\u2019s collection likely rivals Jay Leno\u2019s, except where Leno has every brand you can imagine, Howard really only has two: Buick and Rolls-Royce.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, it\u2019s almost entirely made up of Buicks; there have to be fifty old Buicks in his collection. And only five Rollers. There are a few other cars sprinkled in there but it\u2019s Buick and Rolls are really the only two brands featured more than once.<\/p>\n

The Rollers are lovely, too. While so many of Howard\u2019s cars are covered in dust, debris, and even overgrown foliage, the Rolls-Royce models aren\u2019t. They\u2019re under car covers and kept in really nice condition. He even drives them every once in awhile and will service them when they need servicing. Meanwhile, he has some cars that have literally been eaten by bushes, weeds, and vines over the course of many years. It\u2019s the most bizarre and fun collection of cars in America.<\/p>\n

I love old Rolls-Royces,<\/a> there\u2019s something so absurdly opulent about them and the ones found in this man\u2019s barn are pretty kick ass. Check it out.<\/p>\n
