More than 150 classics went through RM Auctions at its $10million Hershey sale, coinciding with the mammoth autojumble, but a trio of barnfinds stole the limelight.
For just $19,250 someone snapped up a whole heap of history in the form of a 1921 Dodge Brothers half-ton pick-up (below). Used to deliver coal during WW2 it was then stashed in a dealership basement for 60 years, from where it has only recently been excavated. It is sure to show up in a concours preservation class soon.
Another intriguing barnfind was a 1926 Packard Eight Sport by Pullman (main image and below) that accrued $35,750. Being sold by only the third owner, it is awash with period accessories and patina.
Third of the 'barnfinds' was a 1912 International Harvester M-W delivery car (above) that made $44,000. Much of the vehicle looked original and untouched, although a previous owner – William K Haines Snr – had clearly carefully prepped it with fake bird droppings to be an eye-catching participant in parades!
