Well, 2012 is almost over and it has been a great year for us here at Barn Finds. We have featured some interesting cars over the past twelve months. That has been a lot of fun, but what really made it special was getting to read everyone’s comments. All of our loyal readers are what make Barn Finds so great and we just want to thank you. We consider you all friends. Have a safe and very happy New Year!

    I look forward to your daily e-mails. There is something for everybody! I’m looking forward to my daily dose of classic (and not so classic) auto iron in 2013!

      I knew it was British for some ungodly reason but went toward an MG area as opposed to Austin-H.

    I agree. This is one of those sites where the reader’s comments are as insightful as the writer’s. I am often impressed by their knowledge and attention to detail. It’s one of the reasons I regularly visit this site.

    This lets us dream a bit about the cars we knew, and about the cars we’d have if we won the lottery. Thanks so much — we all look forward to the next barn.

    Hey! Happy New Year! …Thanks for posting my “Healey Barn Find” picture. This is a 100-6 with very little rust… from a barn in Oregon. This Healey was sharing space with two black 1938 Cadillacs that had been there for years, too. I love Barn Finds for all the reviews of unique and fun cars, followed by a well-rounded assortment of warnings, humor, nostalgia and advice that makes Barn Finds so cool. Keep up the good work!

    You guys are a lifesaver. It’s been a rough year for me too, and this is a sanity saver. My resolution for 2013 is to get back in good enough financial shape to buy and fix up a 33-37 Packard Super 8 sedan. I’m sure it’s in an old shed in Glunksville somewhere waiting for me.

    Thanks again and keep up the good work!

    It’s obvious the comments above are truly from the heart. Jesse is totally dedicated to Barn Finds and has our thanks and good wishes. After a rough year, or even just a rough day, this site is pure therapy…..and education….and friends.

    Oh yeah….and our daily car fix, too.
