It's something of an unspoken tradition to keep meaningful cars tucked safely away in a barn; it gives them space to be admired, keeps them on standby for parts, and protects from the elements. So, some barns have quite an impressive vehicle collection in them. But one sprawling collection stands above the rest, as it features cars from the 1920s and '30s, as well as a torpedo from World War II. This time capsule comes from the YouTuber Mr. Goodpliers who shared a video showcasing a collection that is spread across a vast Nebraska property. It has to be so spread out because the collection is a vehicular timeline that features airplanes and some of the rarest cars seen - or not seen - in almost a decade.

A giant old-fashioned cart can be seen standing in front of a wall lined with giant wheels as well. Under all the powder is also the remnants of a torpedo meant to see use in the '40s.

Part of that comes from the fact that the ones kept indoors were locked away for over six decades, not seeing a ray of sunshine in all that time. Others, though, have been out in the open for people to admire should they pass by.

This is especially remarkable since the Star line was very short-lived so there are just a few of these vehicles out there. It was made by Durant Motors Company, established by William Durant who served as CEO of GM. Though some other cars - mostly outside - are not quite as rare, there are some old Volvos strewn about the property too, making this collection something Jay Leno would certainly covet.
