I first heard about this and saw photos in February. Since then they have
probably had time to push a few cars around, clean up, etc.
Even in those photos a few of the later model cars were much cleaner, but
all that means is they were put in storage much more recently. No one is
saying this is an untouched time capsule from the 1960s -- it's just
somebody's car collection, acquired over many years, and forgotten. The last
car could have been rolled into the barn in 1995, for all we know. How long
does it take for a padlock to rust in Portugal (briny sea air and all that)?
What is curious is the lack of follow-up stories. But it may be tangled in
legal hassles.
