This is cool as ****...

How may I help?
That is really cool!
One of my friend's dad in HS owned a few GM dealerships, and he kept ones from the 50's & 60's in an old unused dealership in town. His dad kept that dealership pristine, and just used it to store his prized cars. Every so often, my friend would be allowed to take one of them out. They were amazing vehicles.

did he end up selling them off, or they just found their way down the family tree?

I don't know. Stopped staying in touch with him a long time ago.

Dealership & all contents for sale
3.6 million dollars for all of the cars
What makes this abandoned dealership particularly interesting is that there are two hidden sections. The first hidden section is an underground garage that sits right underneath the showroom and could hold anything from cobwebs to pristine 1980’s BMW’s with only delivery miles. We dream of an untouched M1 but we’d happily settle for an unused 1988 325i Convertible. The second hidden section is the workshop near the back, which in 2005 had its windows covered up. The most recent pictures that date back over six years showed many more late 1980’s 7, 6, and 3 Series models in immaculate condition.
At the end of the day, we hope someone has the audacity to make a competitive offer on the place including all of its contents, and then offer us a tour of the basement and shop. Even though it’s completely out of our hands, we secretly wish for someone to restore it to its previous glory and create a Bimmer enthusiast sanctuary for meet-ups and car shows. Now the only questions remains is one of value. Is $3.6 million a ‘hype-inflated’ price, or is it absolutely worth it? Let us know in the comments below!

Supposedly they're saying that the person who owns the dealership owns the cars and has stored them there to keep in mint condition...but the dealership is selling now so they suspect that he'll be moving them out. The hand prints in the dust look pretty recent in some of the photos on the forum
