1912Staver Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Great cars ! And the perfect building as well. Just have to win the lottery . More for the building in my part of the world. Cars are very cheap compared to dirt and buildings. A couple of hundred would provide the cars , millions and millions for the building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any insulation, and there doesn't appear to be enough light for factory work. In older industrial areas of the U. S., where supply of such buildings greatly exceeds demand, such buildings could be very cheap, almost giveaways. But one needs to pay the expense of maintenance, naturally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 The building was a Dye Plant. The original date of construction probably was around WW2 but may have been earlier. See @ I had no idea when I started that thread that I would be transporting one of the vehicles sold at the auction. The next family auction will be for the land and buildings where the vehicles were shown. Jim 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yachtflame Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Wow! Just think of the stuff you could pack into a building of that size! When I built mine, I thought 28 x 40 was huge but 20 years later, I can hardly walk through all the stuff! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 thanks so much for taking the time to show the building. I love structures almost as much as I love cars. Living in the northeast the building would be great so far as construction and size ( if you could find the property to accommodate it) but the sheet steel skin would not work well due to the length of the winter and amount of rain etc. and humidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Mr. Bill McClain passed away in September of 2022. His father - Mr. Jeff McClain started the collection sometime in the 1940’s. The collection included around 300 antique/vintage/classic cars and trucks. The first auction was in 2000 after Mr. Jeff passed and there was another in 2001. Mr. Bill’s daughter Miss Linda said after the second auction - he said no more auctions until he passed away. I met Mr. Bill’s other daughter Miss Teresa at the pick up along with his friend of more than 40 years - Mr. Will. They are in the video. Miss Teresa said the family kept four cars. Mr. Will misses his friend a lot. This hobby - these vehicles serve as a way to share memories across time - across generations. If you bought a vehicle from The McClain Family over the last 23 years - Miss Linda would like to hear from you how things are going … Some of the new caretakers keep in touch regularly …..

alsancle Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 The BB Stutz Roadster is very cool. Hopefully nobody thinks it is a good idea to restore it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my area the price of land has reached truly crazy levels. For example the local drive in theatre is being forced to close due to property taxes. It has seen the value of the land it occupies { a pretty nondescript piece of industrial land in a somewhat economically depressed part of town } rise several fold over the last 20 years to the 2023 assessment of $40 Million dollars. It is really hurting small and starting businesses in the area. A building like that shown in the post is impossible except for the very wealthy. It's like that for hundreds of miles from where I live, land and structures are truly gold.
