Mystery surrounds this abandoned dealership in New England.

It was first noticed back in 2015, in a video YouTuber John Amesie took while he was driving through a small New Hampshire town.

He was originally on his way to take a look at an abandoned vehicle when he spotted a building with tons of classic cars inside.

Inside, he saw a lineup of rare classic cars from Ford, Chevrolet, and even a fire truck.

Abandoned dealership in New England

Once the video was posted to his YouTube channel, the place turned into an internet mystery.

Due to popular demand, he returned to the abandoned dealership multiple times and recorded his visits.

Known as the South Weare Ford dealership, the place featured a bunch of classic cars.

It had a 1941 Ford Woodie Wagon, a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible, a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette, and even a Ford Thunderbird.

Unfortunately, a section of the roof had also collapsed into an old Buick and an old Seagrave fire truck.

Unfortunately, places like these are quite common and an abandoned dealership like this often holds a tragic backstory.

The story behind the dealership

Unfortunately, the family that owned the abandoned dealership hit hard times.

They were forced to abandon the place after a tragic death in the family.

While the property remained under their ownership, they no longer had time to dedicate to it.

And much like this Renault dealership in Belgium, it was left neglected.

After Amesie returned to the abandoned dealership in 2016, he noticed that one of the Cadillacs was gone.

There were also new signs in the front of the building promoting everything for sale.

Then when he went back in 2018 and there were even more cars missing.

We can only hope the owner managed to sell some of the cars, and they’re now on their way to a restoration team.
