I was thinking about posting this in the 'abandoned cars' thread but a) I would have ended up posting a whole topic's worth of photos and b) I wouldn't have been able to pick a few even if I forced myself.

This place is up there with the weirdest places I have explored. It is in the middle of a wooded area full of overgrown paved roads and building foundations from a long-demolished army camp, with a brand new specialist hospital centre built on the old camp land behind it. Apparently someone comes up every so often to check on the cars, but my guesses is it's an ancient old guy and his private collection - but what is odder is that some cars have obviously been there for years whereas there are a couple outside which were last on the road only a couple of years ago.

That Thunderbird in the last photo kicks so much fuckin' ass, it's not funny!

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

I'm almost a little mad that someone let these cars just sit and fall apart like this - so many beauties in that bunch.

Great find!

Your pictures in this set remind me of the show American Pickers! These picks look like they are taken from some old dudes hoarding car collection. The graffiti tell's me that perhaps the owner past away, and the bank that owned the mortgage on the property now owns it and has little drive to clean up the property so it'll just sit for decades until the land suddenly becomes in demand! Nice job taking pictures of the cars. I find it actually quite difficult taking good pictures of vehicles.

Wow!! Gotta say I'm pretty jealous. I have always hoped to stumble upon even a couple of cars while exploring, you found a whole damn building full! I love the spiderweb in #21 and that Thunderbird is awesome! Those have to be pretty unusual over there.
