Photo Gallery «Forgotten rare classics resurface - major garage find in Switzerland»

For over 30 years, seven sought-after classic cars lay dormant under dust and tarpaulins until they were rediscovered in mid-September 2022 and released back into the light of day for the first time. The seven classic cars from Cadillac, Jaguar, Pierce Arrow, Packard and MG will be auctioned off by the classic car gallery in October 2022. Zwischengas was on site during the rescue operation, shows the vehicles in many pictures and tells their story.
