Someone has just discovered a vintage 1960 Cadillac DeVille left behind in an abandoned Victorian mansion.

That’s right, a luxury classic hiding in an abandoned luxury property — it only seems fitting.

The host of the YouTube channel Exploring with BigD came across the abandoned Victorian mansion in Michigan, United States.

And as it turns out, its previous owners left behind some incredible pieces.

Abandoned Victorian mansion holds classic Cadillac DeVille

Despite describing the place as incredibly ‘creepy,’ the YouTuber explored every corner of the property.

Furniture, clothes, and other personal belongings were strewm all over the place — making it look like the YouTuber wasn’t the first one to rummage through the property.

He didn’t find anything worthwhile inside the house, it was only when he ventured out to a separate building that he found the car.

In an old building that once served as a garage, he found the classic Cadillac DeVille.

And it was practically begging for help.

Not only had someone vandalized it, but it was covered in rust, mold, and leaves.

The Caddy was in pretty bad shape

It was certainly a disappointing sight and easily one of the saddest barn finds we’ve ever seen.

It would need a lot of work if anyone was brave enough to take it on as a restoration project.

In saying that, there’s a lot of potential value in restoring a Cadillac DeVille.

And sometimes there’s even a hidden surprise inside, as these detailers found.

Abandoned mansions like this are quite common.

And it’s not uncommon for them to be left with old classics like this dotted around the property.

For instance, someone found a classic BMW E34 M5 in an abandoned $1.5 mansion.

And these guys found an ultra-rare sports car in another abandoned villa.
